We're diving in to a controversial topic this week! Bridal makeup can be expensive, let's discuss why...
If I was to guess, you are a bride who has happened across this blog post because you started looking for an MUA for your wedding, and the prices you've been quoted have been a bit of a surprise.. and not in a good way. It's quite understandable that you would be shocked, because as a bride it's something you typically will only look into once you're engaged!
So, let's breakdown the cost of bridal services. But first, it's probably best if we explain how we're educated to speak on the topic.
Our Credentials
I am a bridal and occasion makeup artist, and have - in my humble opinion - perfected the bridal booking process. Throughout my career, I have encircled myself in the controversial conversations between brides and makeup artist's regarding the charges.
I appreciate both sides, and whilst acknowledging my opinion is bias because of my line of work,
wouldn't this best be explained by an MUA herself?
Why Bridal Makeup Is Expensive...
On the surface, bridal makeup is just that. As a bride, you are paying for makeup. So why can it amount to hundreds of pounds? I feel this statement hits the nail on the head in the split of opinion.
For makeup artist's, there is a lot more than just makeup application that goes into bridal services. Select each drop down below for more info.

Our Final Thoughts..
Bridal makeup will always be more costly than other makeup applications. Simply because more goes into it than any other occasion.
However, there is a makeup artist for every bride and every budget.
As long as you're open to paying for someone perhaps a little less experienced, or you can easily find an artist advertising the kind of makeup you want for yourself at a lower rate, you will have no issue finding a suitable artist within your budget.
