makeup budget

I have NO idea what to budget for a traveling make up artist for me (the bride) only that has airbrush foundation.  Can anyone help?

Also if you know of people that fit this description please share

Probably, basic, around $150 it seems like. Alison Feamster (I'm not aware of her price) is a free lance artist and does airbrush, same with Ericka Reid (hers is $150). You may be able to find cheaper, but that's just an idea. I'm doing traditional makeup, so I haven't looked into it much.

Not sure 100% about the airbrush foundation but I would think that Skin Abstracts is definitely worth checking out. Here's the website... http://www.skinabstracts.com She is also the make-up artist I guess for Columbus Boudoir. Impressive in my opinion. They also have a Ladies Spa Happy Hour every Wednesday 2-6pm so might be a relaxed and easy way to check things out.... Hope this helped!

$150 sounds about right.  I'm going with Kelli Ramey, but I'm getting traditional makeup.  She does airbrush, but she said she uses only for people with oily skin.  Allison Feamster is pretty popular on the boards and if you're dead set on airbrush I would check her out first.  Also, Joy Bemis came recommended and she does airbrush too for about the same price.

<div>I emailed them about makeup yesterday and was told it's a $200 minimum (between you and your bridesmaids and all that). I think that might just be for travel, not if you go to the studio. No idea on prices for airbrush, so that might be okay for you anyway since airbrush is a bit more expensive! Just an FYI.</div>
