Wedding Day Make up!

Help!! I have booked th salon appointments for myself, my four bridesmaids, my mom, and my future mother in law for hair and makeup. I have since found out that the make up is going to cost $60!!! Of course I would be okay paying this for myself, but cannot afford to pay for the other ladies. I want everyone to be able to get their make up done to complete the experience of the big day. I cannot seem to find any on-site or freelance makeup artists in the minneapolis area. Anyone have any suggestions as to someone I could use???

    I viewed make-up for me as a must-have, and I paid for the moms too.  If you want your BMs to get their make-up done, you should pay for it.  If they don't want it done, they shouldn't have to - it's a fun experience, but not critical for your wedding day for them IMO.

    Try Mariah's Beauty Marks.  Her MOB and BM prices are cheaper.

    I'm using Smart and Chic.  I let my BM's know that someone was coming to do my hair and make up and let them know that they could get there's done too if the wanted.  I let them know the price and let them decided if they wanted it done or not.  3 of 4 decided to get their hair done because they thought it would be fun.  All decided to do their own make - up.  I personally don't think you need to pay for the others to get theirs done unless you requiring they get it done.

    Same as kclepire.  We are having smart and chic come.  Only 3 of my 7 bridesmaids are getting there makeup done which is fine with me.  Five are getting their hair done and I am paying for the little bridesmaids to get theirs done  and mom too!

    OH MY GOSH!! You will LOVE it!  That was the best - getting a trial run in and then seeing everything put together.  Do you have your veil too?  Forgot what you decided on doing for that...
