Free Makeup Artist Quote Template
Makeup artists quote weddings months in advance because bridal bookings on peak dates fill quickly. A quote confirms the date, the number of people being made up, the prep time needed, and whether a trial is included.

What should a makeup artist put on a quote?
A makeup quote sets out the planned work and the price before the day, such as bridal makeup, guest makeup, and a trial. List each service, the time included, and travel, and note that final numbers can shift the figure. Until the client books and accepts, the price stays an estimate.
Typical line items
- Bridal makeup (wedding day)
- Bridesmaid or guest makeup (per person)
- Bridal hair and makeup trial session
- Early start or call-out fee
- Travel to the venue
- Touch-up kit or stay-on service
- Products and lashes
- Estimated number of people
How the work is charged
Makeup artists usually quote a fixed price per person or per service, with a trial, travel, and an early start itemised. The figure assumes a number of people that is confirmed nearer the date.
Payment terms and deposits
A quote commonly proposes a deposit to secure the date, with the balance on the day. The price holds for a stated period and is an estimate until accepted, so note what added people would alter.
Tax and compliance
If you are registered for sales tax or VAT, show it as a separate line with your registration number. Confirm the tax treatment of services and products where you work.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a makeup artist charge for a wedding?
Bridal makeup costs €300 to €700 for the wedding day. A bridal trial adds €100 to €200. Each additional bridesmaid or guest costs €100 to €180. Early morning start fees apply when the bridal party starts before 8am. Travel beyond 30 km is typically charged at €0.30 to €0.50 per kilometre.
What should a wedding makeup artist quote include?
Specify: the number of people in the bridal party, whether a trial is included, the start time and total time on location, travel and parking, the lash and product policy (whether lashes are included in the price), and what happens if someone is added to the booking after the quote is agreed.
Do makeup artists charge a deposit?
Yes. A 20% to 30% non-refundable booking deposit is standard to secure a wedding date. The balance is due on the wedding day or 14 days before. State this in the quote. Without a deposit, popular dates are at risk, and last-minute cancellations leave the artist with no compensation for the lost booking.
