How much do makeup artists charge?

Common services or skills include:

  • Traditional makeup
  • Airbrush makeup
  • Bridal makeup
  • False eyelashes or extensions
  • Hair styling
  • Brow shaping or microblading

How much do makeup artists charge for weddings?

Wedding makeup costs $80 to $300 for the bride and $75 to $150 per person for the bridal party. Most brides choose a hair and makeup package, which costs $180 to $600 total. Some makeup artists apply some basic makeup to the flower girl for $10 to $50.

What is a makeup artist?

A makeup artist is a person who is trained to apply cosmetics, usually for special events or photoshoots. Makeup artists usually perform a consultation or trial to see if their skills and products are a good fit. A basic package typically includes:

  • Primer
  • Foundation
  • Concealer
  • Blush
  • Eyeliner
  • Eyeshadow
  • Mascara
  • Lipstick
  • Setting powder or spray

Some makeup artists include airbrushing, contouring, false lashes, or a touch-up kit in their basic service. Others offer these features for an extra charge.

How long does a makeup artist take to do makeup?

A makeup artist takes 60 to 90 minutes to do most makeup applications. Wedding makeup takes 60 to 90 minutes for the bride and 30 to 45 minutes for bridesmaids. Complex styles or designs take longer than simple or everyday looks.

Do you need a license to be a makeup artist?

Makeup artist licensing rules depend on the state. Most states require a cosmetology license in salon settings. However, most states do not require a license for non-salon services like weddings, photoshoots, or private events.

How much should I tip a makeup artist?

Most customers tip a makeup artist 15% to 25% after the application, but it's not always necessary. Freelance makeup artists who set their own prices do not typically expect a tip. Most customers tip for exceptional service, much like other industries.

Tipping a makeup artist at a beauty counter is not expected, and some businesses don't allow it.

  • Compare at least three free estimates.
  • Read reviews and look at pictures on Fash and Google.
  • Look for licensed or certified stylists or members of the International Association of Professional Makeup Artists (IAPO)
  • Choose an artist who's experienced in the style you want done.
  • Ask about what products they use, especially if you have sensitive skin.
  • Make sure they're available on the day you need them.
  • · Avoid making large payments up front.

What questions should I ask makeup artists?

To find the best makeup artist for you, ask the following questions:

  • How long have you been doing makeup?
  • Do you have a portfolio?
  • What certifications and licenses do you have?
  • How far in advance should I book?
  • Can you create the look I want?
  • Do you require a deposit?
  • What is your cleaning and sanitation procedure?
  • Do you charge a flat rate or hourly fee?
  • Do you have any group rates?
  • How long will the appointment take?
  • Will you give me an estimate and contract in writing?

There is no comparison. Yolonda Frederick is the best of the best. Her knowledge, care and professionalism is above and beyond anything I have ever seen before. I can't believe what a difference there is in my skin with her tips I have put to use!

I was very impressed with how detailed, professional, knowledgeable, and skilled Lexi is as a hair stylist. She is definitely one of the best in the business. I notice the “little things,” that set a few cosmetologists apart from the rest of the lot. Firstly, Lexi’s consultation was incredibly meticulous, and she really knew how to pinpoint what I was envisioning with my potential new look. Secondly, she takes her time getting to know your personality and how that trait would fit with the hairstyle you’re wanting to achieve. Thirdly, the whole experience is full immersion into what optimal professional hair stylists should all try to exert with every single client. It was like traveling to a big-time LA cosmologist booth in which all the movie stars go to in order to achieve their optimal looks for the camera. Lexi was the first cosmetologist I ever encountered in this city who had the charm and grace of a true professional AND the skill-set that you would find in an LA or New York-type movie-star environment. I will always be her regular. She will design for my children’s weddings and special events. This woman has the “it” factor. If only all other cosmetologists followed her lead then we would all have the most beautiful looks we could all potentially exhibit in this tough world we live in. Thank you, Lexi!

Thank you for saving my long, damaged hair! It’s finally healthy again, and it’s thanks to the stylists here. The salon has a great vibe and cool atmosphere - it’s really just a nice place to relax while getting quality hair service. My hair has never felt or LOOKED this good. I brought my own hair but definitely next time I’ll buy some Brazilian hair with David .

Jeanna took excellent care of my hair. She kept it healthy and I received nothing but compliments everytime I got out of her chair. The only negative is that she moved and is now too far for me to go to., but if she ever comes back to Atlanta, I'll be the 1st one in her chair!!
