Hi all
I was just wondering if you could help.
I am looking for a mobile make up artist in the louth area (Drogheda) for next June.
I got a quote from Fuschia for coming to my home of €280. This would include me and three bridesmaids only. Is that expensive my initial reaction was too dear; as the trial would take place in the shope for €25 each and we could use that €25 to get make up to that value in the shop!
I wanted my mam to get her make up done also; in all honesty all she needs is a little foundation and lipstick; she doesn;t wear make up at all; but that was another €65 with the shop!!
In total it would cost me €445!!

Anyone any other ideas?..
thank you

To be honest that price sounds kind of the norm. I can highly recommend Jane Gribbon. She's from Malahide and travels to your home, her no.s 0872492896.

hi
Just want to say: there is a range of quotes for make up artists.
For wollies who thought the €445 quote was average; it is not. It is a ridicuousy high price.
Thanks to other wollies i have earned of other suppliers who are more reasonable in their pricing.
No doubt these suppiers are still earning a profit; they are just not milking us for every penny because the word wedding is used.
Thank you ladies.

I just want to say that there is also a range of skills out there so be careful and make sure to have a trial. I have no connection with any make up artists but the last thing you want is to look back on your wedding day and say I wish I paid the extra couple of hundred euro to get a professional in.

thanks for the comment.
I will be using a professional and I will be having a trial with the make up artist.
Although quality does cost; sometimes compaines just price themselves out of the market; by thinking they can mutiply by 5 instead of 2>
I heard someone joke that they only thing that hasn't been hit by the recession is weddings. I know we have.
