It’s easy to forget the little things on your wedding day, but makeup is definitely one thing you’re not going to want to skimp on. After all, you’ve likely already paid a significant amount to your photographer for the day, so you’ll want to make sure you’ll have lasting makeup that photographs well. When it comes down to it, you should set aside at least $100 for someone to do your wedding day makeup, according to wedding website Zola.
According to Wedding Wire, the typical bride spends about $300 on their hair and makeup on her big day. Of course, a big part of that also depends on where you live. If you’re not living in a big city like New York or Los Angeles, the $100 should be more than enough to get you a full face on your wedding day. In many instances, you’re also paying for a consultation and trial as well. You’ll want to check with your makeup artist to make sure they’ll meet with you in advance to run through some looks.
There are ways to save a big, as well. According to Wedding Wire, there are two different types of wedding makeup — airbrushed and traditional application. If you’re looking to save a bit of money, opt for the traditional application. This means your foundation would be applied by hand using a brush or Beauty Blender, instead of using a machine to airbrush your foundation on.
