I think the ones that advertise in the bridal books would be more expensive than one you could find locally.

In my local paper in the classifieds there are always make up artists advertised. Ask at the florist as they always know who else is in the local industry or you could always try you local chemist. If they sell a big name cosmetic range then they usually have someone trained. I got married in a small town and that's what I did and she did a brilliant job. Didn't charge me at all for the trial and I think (it was a while ago memory is a bit hazy) charged $45 each.
