I paid $85 pp for makeup - me plus 3 bridesmaids - she was fabulous. We didnt do a trial either, I paid an extra $10 pp because she was travelling in the city from country victoria
Her daughter did my hair, that was $200. We did the bridesmaids hair ourselves (or rather, my sister did it lol)
So...
You + 3 BM + MOB + MOG @ $440 = $73 pp - I think that is pretty spot on. (Especially since you got to keep the makeup)
I paid $60 at Gauci in Adelaide - and the girl did a fab job (just got the wedding pics today to confirm that!)....
I didn't bother with a trial either, if we were going to go out somewhere special I may have though - but a date with my 4 wk old son and his bottle at midnight didn't really stack up as a reason to get all fancied up!
I am a makeup artist. I mostly do weddings and formals. I charge $80 for the bride and $60 for bridesmaids and Mother of the bride and groom. I make sure I only use superior products like MAC or Stila or Nars. It is really important to always check that the makeup artist you use is qualified and professional. For example I will never drink a clients champagne or eat their food, I am their to do a job as quickly as possible.
