I've been looking for an MUA for some time now and have a few in mind. Finding a great makeup artist is one of the few things that cannot be compromised for the wedding which is why I'm being extra meticulous. The artists that I've contacted does makeup solely as a profession, so I understand that...

According to WeddingWire’s data, the average cost for bridal makeup is $100, while for bridesmaids, the price rings in around $70 per person. These prices will vary depending on your location and the types of products that are used.

My HMUA charges $250 for just makeup, $500 for both hair and makeup. Bridesmaids are $125 each for just makeup, and $125 for hair. She also charges a travel fee of $150/hour if the location is more than 30 minutes from her studio. Trials are charged separately at $250 for hair and makeup.

NYC- Bridal hair, makeup, and trial is $500 for me, $150 for both hair and makeup for bridesmaids, $80 single service. Makeup is definitely not my thing and this is the best I could find without sacrificing quality. Most my quotes were at least double all of the above.

I will end up paying around $300 for hair and makeup. Family/BM are $90. I'm in Lower NY. This was cheaper for my area. Some artists were cheaper but it looked cheaper. I got one quote that was close to $700 for just my hair and makeup.
