Well, it depends on a variety of factors. Give each of the following some thought before deciding how to price your bridal makeup services:\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Years of experience:<\/strong> Even if you have work experience in other industries, you may be at an entry level in the bridal industry. Adjust your prices according to experience in <em>this <\/em><\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Level of professional education:<\/strong> Have you taken a bridal makeup course? Have you taken any relevant workshops to advance your skills (ex. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/airbrush-makeup-workshop\/\">airbrush makeup workshop<\/a>?)<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Additional qualifications: <\/strong>Do you have any awards or achievements in special occasion makeup?<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Local industry:<\/strong> If you\u2019re a makeup artist in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/04\/start-makeup-career-new-york-anywhere\/\">New York City<\/a>, you\u2019re probably charging more compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2018\/09\/how-to-become-a-makeup-artist-in-a-small-town\/\">an artist from a small town<\/a>. Research your competitors and see how much they\u2019re charging for guidance.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Service time:<\/strong> How long and how many services will you providing to your client? This includes the consultation, any time needed for adjustments, travel time, day-of appointment time, and any extra time agreed upon for touch-ups.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Number of people:<\/strong> As a bridal makeup artist, you\u2019ll sometimes only work for the bride. Other times, the bridesmaids and the mother of the bride will also be part of the deal.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Assistants<\/strong>: If the wedding party is large, you may need to hire and bring along a makeup assistant.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Seasonal and time logistics:<\/strong> Is it wedding season? Is it a Saturday? You may be able to charge more due to expected demand during peak seasons.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Products used:<\/strong> High-end or luxury products used for the appointment cost more than drugstore brands. You can also charge more for airbrush makeup services as it\u2019s a specialization.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Add-ons<\/strong>: Optional services, such as false lashes, cost more to apply.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>[divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;34187&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flat_Rate_Pricing\"><\/span>Flat Rate Pricing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nFlat-rate service pricing is when you, the artist, offer your services at a pre-determined rate. Your rate is determined by considering all the factors above. Your rate must be the same for every client\u2014it shouldn\u2019t change depending on who enlists your services!\n\nA typical novice artist with professional makeup training would charge $100.00 USD for the bride. Additional faces would cost less, around $75 per bridesmaid. Again, the price increases as the artist gains experience! In addition, a-la-carte services such as false lashes or a small makeup touch-up kit can be assigned fixed fees and layered on top of the flat fee.\n\nIf you choose to go this route, we suggest offering it in combination with hourly pricing (discussed <a href=\"#combination-discounts\">below<\/a>). This is to cover you in case you unexpectedly have to spend additional hours on-site. Expect the unexpected!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hourly_Pricing\"><\/span>Hourly Pricing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThis pricing structure is highly flexible. By outline your hourly rate and billable hours, you\u2019ll always be compensated for your time. This <em>does not mean<\/em> that you don\u2019t need to quote a price to your client! During your consultation, you\u2019ll discuss the extent of the services you will offer based on your client\u2019s needs. Provide them with an educated estimate of how much it\u2019ll all cost. But, also ensure that you discuss the billable hours and the hourly rate for any additional time accrued.

You can even get creative with how you package your rates. For example, you can incentivize your bridal clients with group discounts. If her bridesmaids and other key guests (ex. mother of the bride) opt for your services, you can offer them a discount on the total cost.\n\nYour packaged rates should provide clients with a set number of hours you\u2019ll be doing makeup, along with a set number of faces.
