How much should I pay a friend of a friend to do my make-up on my wedding day ?

She is a professional make-up artist and I would like her to drive 1 hr. the day of the wedding to do my make-up. Would also want her to do my my three sisters hair. How much should I pay for this?How much should I pay a friend of a friend to do my make-up on my wedding day ?
Ask her what she would charge if she were in the shop, and pay her that much. But definately do a trial run first, to make sure you like how she does your makeup. Just because she's a pro doesn't mean you're going to like what she does. And it'd be very awkward if she did this on your wedding day, and you didn't like the look if it.How much should I pay a friend of a friend to do my make-up on my wedding day ?
ask her how much she is charging...my friend does makeup for weddings...if they want air bush makeup its $70.00...regular makeup 60.
well that is alot of work your asking her, as a courtesy pay her some gas money just for driving that far, then ask her how much she wants for the job, seeing that your a friend of her friend she may discount you, or she may not. Its kinda hard to tell someone that your only gonna pay so much money for so much work.
mac charges around 70 dollars , so somewhere around there
But it's your wedding day, what kind of friend would pit you lower financially with the wedding cost and not do u a favor? I would pay her $10
Professionals should be paid but if she is professional, she should have a list of prices. Ask her what her price range is and it also depends on the type of makeup she is using. Chanel should be priced higher


Hope this helps
i would ask her what her fee is going to be. considering that she is a friend of yours, she might wave the fee as a wedding present. i wouldn't count on it, but just ask her what she charges.
You should get her to give you a discount on her regular rate and pay that. I'd guess she'd give you 20% off. You are asking for a pretty big favor, so if you can't pay close to regular price or if she offers to do it for nothing, get her a NICE thank you gift.
my wife is a make up artist $250.00 for the bride and $50.00 for each brides made. if it is a true friend it may be less but 250.00 and 50.00 is the lowest going rate.
I agree ask her and if she does it for free, get her a nice gift. Most places I looked at $100 for hair and extra $75 for makeup per person. I also have a friend of a friend doing it for me and I am paying her $100 per person CASH for 8 people.


I am in NJ so it depends on your area but you can call salons to get an idea on how much they charge.
Ask her - she will give you her prices and then go from there. She may give it to you for free and say it's her wedding gift to you.
@ 75 IS OK BUT ASK HER FIRST..WHATEVER PICE SHE GIVES IF UNDER 80 GIVE A 10 TIP.
Hopefully she would do your makeup for free as a gift for your wedding. Usually it's about $40. Hair, depending on the style is about $40/person as well. Plus tip!
Just ask her. And if the quote seems low to you, give her a very generous tip, and of COURSE, invite her and a guest to the wedding.
On my wedding day I paid $60 to MAC for a make up consultation in Vegas.......what that is is a reserved private setting with one of their artistes for about an hour. Call around to major department stores and see if they have a make up counter and ask how much do they charge....that way you can get a general idea... plus add on travel and commute....Gas is high
Ask your friend how much she charges....just be honest with her and if she is a friend she will not rip you off.....
She should tell you how much she is going to charge. Just call her up and tell her what you are wanting and don't forget to mention that she will have to make a little bit of a drive that day. See what she says. I say, she'll probably give you a discount because you are her friend and maybe you should give her a little bit extra for helping you out.
