Cost of make up trial?

Did you make up trial cost the same as day of?  Was it more or less?  What should I expect for the bride and bridesmaids?  TIA

Re: Cost of make up trial?

  • My trial was $95 - much less than the day-of, which is $200. The attendants cost $85/person.

    Is $200 average? I haven't looked into makeup yet, didn't expect it to be so expensive!

  • My trial was $125 includes airbrush. Day of is $300. Dani Wagener Beauty.
  • I had the same person do my hair and makeup...my trials were $45 for hair and $45 for makeup.
    I am actually getting married this Friday and my day of price would be $80 for hair and $80 for makeup.
    For my bridesmaids it will be $65 for hair and $65 for makeup.
    I am getting the airbrush makeup done, and the person doing mine is great.  She did one of my friends weddings and now she's doing mine.  Her name is Valerie Harrison and her e-mail is vharriso2007@students.curry.edu
    She does charge a travel fee, but it's very reasonable.

  • My trials were $60 each for hair and makeup. I worked with Special Event Beauty and highly recommend them!
  • Some include it in the bridal price, others charge the same, others charge a bit less.

    I have a whole spreadsheet of local MUA/Hairstylists with prices (getting them is half the battle). There's probably a dozen of each. If you want to PM me your email address I can send it to you.
  • My hair and makeup trial was $125 versus the day of cost of $200.

    Where is Valarie from?
  • My trial is going to be $100 for hair and make-up ($50 for each), but the day of is going to be $190 for hair and make-up.  Both of these include airbush for make-up.
  • She is out of the Boston area but will travel.  She drove to my parents house in Franklin to do my trial, and drove to the hotel in Auburn on the day of my wedding.  My wedding was actually yesterday and I got tons of comments on how awesome my hair and makeup was.  I highly recommend her.

  • My consult was $125 and wedding day make up is $175. From what I saw, this was a little higher than some places, but not as high as it can be. Also depends on whether they're traveling to your location or if you're going to them.
