Top Makeup Artist related questions
The cost of a makeup artist on Airtasker averages between £70 - £300, 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 £100 - £450 per person.Â
A makeup artist uses quality products and special makeup application techniques to enhance your natural look, usually for your wedding day or other occasions. 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, photo-ready, and fits the style you want.
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 Level 2 Certificate in Makeup, Level 3 Diploma in Theatrical and Media Makeup, Level 3 Diploma in Makeup Artistry, or T Level in Hairdressing, Barbering and Beauty Therapy.Â

A local makeup artist has the experience and access to top-quality products that ensure your makeup stays put and helps you look your best in photos.

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. When booking an appointment with professionals, be sure to specify the beauty services you will need for the occasion:
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. They 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 event. 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.Â
Hair styling
Apart from a makeup service, many mobile makeup artists also have a hairdressing background and can help you with mobile hair styling. It’s a great way to save time and money and keep things simple while you get ready for your special event. They can create a cohesive look, with a hairstyle that matches your dress, accessories, and jewellery. They’ll discuss your preferred hairstyles, and then use a range of products and tools to create your look, including a hair straightener, hair curler, hair pins, hair elastics, and hairspray.
