Professional Makeup

I am looking at different salons trying to get a feel for how much my wedding day makeup will cost. This is what I found at one salon.

$75 for makeup application.

$95 for bridal makeup.

55$ for bridal party makeup.

How would the salon know that you are a BM, a bride or if you are going into the salon for regular makeup?

I guess they wouldn't really know unless you told them...isn't it crazy how the prices jump just because it is a wedding!

The word wedding mean price increase of at least 30% if not more.  I have found that if you don't go into details with the event and leave it at party you can find better deals.  So Sad!!

When my cousin got married, she went to a salon and didn't give them any details. She just told them she was going out. So she got the cheaper prices. It's not lying. It's private and saving you a buck. :)

i wouldn't even mention it's for a wedding. honestly, you really don't get any other special treatment other than a bigger bill.
