I was super impressed with Kannika's skills. We hadn't discussed beforehand what look I wanted and she bought everything she could possibly need. She took into account what I was wearing, my colouring, and we discussed the look, she had great ideas so I was totally comfortable with her suggestions. The results were just beautiful. I got so many compliments how great I looked, all thanks to Kannika. I'm recommending her to all my friends and will definitely use her services again next chance I get!

Top Makeup Artist related questions
The cost of hiring makeup artists averages between $60 - $1,000 in Australia, but it depends on the type of makeup you need, whether it’s the peak season for events, the location, and any extras. For example, the cost of bridal makeup is usually around $75 - $200 per person for the bride and bridal party. This may not include the services of hair stylists. If you need hair and makeup for your wedding day, expect additional costs. Specify the type of service you need to get the best offers from makeup artists around you.
A professional makeup artist specialises in makeup artistry and uses quality products and special techniques to enhance your natural beauty, usually for a wedding or special occasion. With an eye for colour and an artistic flair, they can create any look you’re after and ensure that your makeup is long-lasting and photo-ready.
You can expect professionally applied makeup to last for up to 12 hours. If you’re planning to be at a lengthy event, your makeup artist may provide you with samples to quickly blot your face and touch up your setting powder and lipstick.
Makeup artists don’t need any formal qualifications - the most important thing is experience, skill, and quality products. But many do study courses like a Certificate II in Retail Cosmetics, Certificate III in Beauty Services, Certificate IV in Beauty Therapy, Diploma of Screen and Media, and Diploma of Beauty Therapy.
The best way to find a talented makeup artist near you is on Airtasker. With plenty of local makeup artists to choose from, you’ll find the right artist for your style and your budget. Be sure to read reviews from previous clients and check if they have experience to find the right hair and makeup professional in your area.
A professional makeup artist has access to top-quality products that ensure your makeup stays put and helps you look your best in photos or videos. A mobile makeup artist will ensure you have a flawless finish and won’t require touch-ups throughout your event.

What do makeup artists do?
Hiring a makeup artist is the best way to reduce your stress and enjoy the lead-up to an event. They’ll meet you at your chosen location, whether it’s your home or a venue, and talk about the look you want to achieve. But the exact inclusions and process you can expect will depend on the type of makeup service you need. Here are some of the makeup artist jobs that you can expect from Taskers:
Bridal makeup
Most brides want bridal makeup that looks natural, is long-lasting, and photographs well. Your wedding makeup artist will use cosmetic products that are specially designed for this purpose. They’ll start with using a primer on your skin to provide a smooth surface for your foundation. Airbrush foundation is often used in bridal makeup to ensure full and even coverage without looking or feeling heavy. Your makeup artist will apply a long-wearing lipstick that complements your look. Finally, they’ll use a natural eyeshadow palette to enhance your eye colour, along with false eyelashes and waterproof mascara to frame your eyes.
Special occasion makeup
The biggest difference between special occasion makeup and bridal makeup is in style. While bridal makeup is often kept classic or natural, you can opt for a more glamorous or dramatic look for a special occasion. If you're attending a costume party, you can request special effects for a complete makeover. Your mobile makeup artist will still ensure a flawless finish that’s long-lasting so you can look great all day and night, whether you’re at your high school formal, awards night, or a special date.
Hair styling
Many mobile makeup artists also have a hairdressing background and can help you with mobile hair styling as well. It’s a great way to save time and money, and keep things simple while you get ready for your special event. Your makeup artist will be able to create a cohesive look, with a hairstyle that matches your your dress, accessories, and your jewellery. They’ll discuss your preferred hairstyles, then use a range of products and tools to create your look, including a hair straightener, hair curler, hair pins, hair elastics, and hairspray.

Natural looking makeup for event Sat 21/12
$150
Glenroy VIC, Australia
16th Dec 2024
Hello, I am having a commitment ceremony with my partner in our garden Sat 21/12, it is a very low key affair. I would love someone to do my make-up, and if possible, a very small amount of assistance with hair. I am wanting natural makeup, with some natural looking false lashes. I am was going to wear my hair down (I will do something with it the night before so that it is wavy), and planned on pinning some flowers into it - some assistance with this would be great! But if hair is not your specialty, this is okay also. I was not sure what this service would cost so have just put an estimate. Please advise me your price :)
