    do you want to keep it under 150 for BOTH or under 300 for both?

    i contacted may artists and most are around 200 (including trial).

    i love my makeup artist- loni hale with fashion forward beauty.

    I had Sonia Roselli do my makeup for my engagement session and it turned out great and held up with being outside in August for hours.  Her studio is in Rogers Park, the makeup was 125 if you get it done in studio, I believe it is more if you want her to come on location too.  I'm not sure what she charges for attendants though.

    I used Tamara Makeup and Hair. They are really reasonably priced and travel to you. I highly recommend them!

    I contacted Sonia too. She;s very expenisive: 400 for the day of and 125 for the trial.

    Tamara is 75 for hair and 75 for makeup but they have a traveling fee of 70 if you're getting married in Chicago.

    I used Orlando at Salon 1800 and he is awesome and will do makeup for $40 at the studio and $80 if he comes to you. He did a great job!

    I just went to a salon. The Aveda salon Blueberry Moon did my hair for 80 and makeup for 50. BMs were 80 hair and 35 makeup. They did a great job, but obviously wont travel to you. The salon is really nice though!
