On-site makeup artist recommendations???

The wedding is in June and I need an on-site makeup artist! I have already contacted one and she is booked for the day. I have found others but they are way over priced. Any suggestions? TIA!

    We used Alison Feamster for our August 7 wedding.  She was wonderful!  So sweet and she did a great job on me, my maids, and our moms.  She offers airbrush makeup which I definitely wanted to try.  I have a longer review in my married bio (link in siggy).  She is very popular, so I would try to book quickly, you may get lucky, and she isn't booked.  There is a lot of info. on her website (link)
    Phone: 614.327.9632  E-mail: inquiry@alisonfeamster.com
    Many knotties also recommend MelissaRoshan, but I don't have her contact info.  I am sure one of her brides will reply to this as well.  Good luck! :)

    I emailed Alison and a Kelli
    they were like over $100 for makeup!!! Thats more then my hair.
    I really didnt realize it would cost so much. I dont need airbrush and all that fancy stuff. Just someone to make me natural and dramatic. But not at $100
    There is an Aveda salon by my ceremony site that does makeup for $20 its inconvient but much cheaper.

    We hired Alison Feamster, and she is great!  I recently had my trial with her, and I absolutely loved it.

    Hey! I am right there with you on how much the makeup artists cost! I actually found a makeup artist through my hair stylist (they are good friends) and she only costs $75 for the bride and $25 for BM's, mom's, or anyone else who wants their makeup done! She does a really great job and she is super nice and fun! She is all about helping you out and doing anything she can to help you prepare to have the best skin for your big day! Her name is Kim Gohringer and if you want her number send me an email and I'll email it to you... my email is Luckychik11@gmail.com.  Her prices are less expensive because she does this for fun!

    We used MelissaRoshan. Her prices are on her site. She was fabulous- my makeup felt light but lasted until the next afternoon!

    I am using Ericka Reid with Magic's in the Makeup.  I think bridal makeup (airbrush) is $125.  This includes my trial.  I looked around too and this cost is pretty average.  She is traveling to our location day-of.  She's also doing makeup for 3 of my bridesmaids, at $50 each. 

    Here email is erickareid81@gmail.com

    I also had Erika from Magic is in the makeup and loved her! She did an amazing job with my bridal makeup and all my bridesmaids. She even touched up my grandmother's makeup free of charge. I did not go with the air brush so I cant comment on the previous post, but she only uses top on the line make up and it lasted until 1 in the morning when we finally made our way to the hotel!
