How much does bridal makeup typically cost?

Bridal makeup pricing depends on many factors, so I will not quote a figure that could be misleading. The artist's experience, how far they need to travel, whether a trial is included and how long the service takes all affect the price. Some artists charge for the bride only, while others add fees for the bridal party or a trial session.

When you contact artists, ask exactly what the quote includes. Find out if travel costs, a trial, touch-up products or extra people are charged separately. Request a written agreement that states the time, the location, the products used and the cancellation policy. This protects both you and the artist.

Budget for the full picture rather than the headline price. A cheap quote may exclude a trial or travel, while a higher quote might include everything you need. Compare like with like when you shortlist artists.
