Hi Girls,

I was hoping to get some feedback on bridal make-up. I am looking for someone Inexpensive who will come to Oceancliff and do my make-up as well as my girls and my mom. I know my girls don't want to spend more than 70 dollars. Not sure if this is possible or not.

    I'm using Kristin Greene for makeup (www.kristingreene.net) and she charges $55 for bridesmaids and has a great reputation.

    I am using Allison Barbera, and she is actually located in Newport but will travel to your location.  www.allisonbarbera.com

    She charges $80 for the bride, and that includes the trial.

    For mothers and bridesmaids it is $50.  Flower girls are free.

    Robin Mcaloon charges $50 for BM and $75 for Bride the day of. She is located in Bristol and can travel.  Robin has a very calming personality and she is really sweet. You can see her work on her website and in this article by Snap! Photography

    I got quoted higher prices for Robin back in October.  Weird!

    I used the girls at Skinplicity in EG.  Their prices are on their website.  BMs and moms were $40, I thought this was reasonable.  My younger sister wears makeup a lot and she was very impressed with them.  My twin sister never wears makeup and she looked stunning, I kept telling her all night how awesome she looked.  :-)  (We are fraternal so I wasn't telling her that I looked good, haha.)  They use Youngblood makeup.

    Another good one is Tara from Tada Yourself.

    ^ hmmm maybe her rates have gone up since than? I have the pdf of her rates that she sent me since spring 09.

    As for Tara from Tada Yourself, I second her too! She did my make up when I was a BM for my friend's wedding but she was not available for my date.

    Hi,

    I don't know if OceanCliff still recommends Maura Hession but if so, please don't use her.  She double booked on the day of my wedding and was over an hour late showing up.  She was then so frazzled that she did a completely different job on my make-up then the trial.  The ceremony had to start 20 minutes late because our make up wasn't done and no time for pictures.  Just trying to help.

    Jan Simone is very experienced and uses great products.
    Glen Badessa is very good also.
    They both travel 
    Reasonable too.
