Airbrush Makeup vs Traditional?
Hello, all! I am a freelance MUA and I am getting in to the airbrush application. For those of you that do both, what do you charge clients for each? Oct 09 13 11:50 am Link I don't do traditional makeup, but on principal I would suggest that you do not charge separate rates. Rather, I would charge a single rate but let your potential clients know that you use airbrush and traditional methods depending on what the look calls for and so forth. Oct 09 13 12:03 pm Link I think you should check on the other artist around your area ... do they charge extra for the service, then you can decide whether to charge or not charge extra. I do charge $25 extra for airbrush makeup .... but as an add on to my regular makeup service ... as do most makeup artists in my area. Just my .02 cents  Oct 09 13 02:51 pm Link I charge $15 extra right now for airbrush. The makeup can be a little more expensive but mainly the setup and cleanup is the main thing I think. You have to clean out the machine between each makeup you do (like foundation, lips, cheeks, etc). So it's a little more expensive. Oct 21 13 04:05 pm Link I agree with Visuelle Artistry. See what other artists within your area are doing. Oct 21 13 09:29 pm Link I don't charge a different price for airbursh. I would suggest to bump up your makeup service price over all (to cover the new technique you've learned and the extra overhead from that new method)...but charge the same price. My 2 cents Oct 22 13 03:55 am Link I charge $25 more for airbrush and so do most...I've seen ones that dnt charge more but that's because they r new at it and dnt know how to sell it...sometimes I throw it in for the bride when they book alot of bm n family Oct 24 13 06:51 am Link I do not charge extra; but that is because I book at half and full day rates and my contracts are based on a job's needs. I do weddings occasionally and when I do I bid the job just as I would a commercial job without "extra" costs. Just unprofessional and not good business management. Just my opinion. Oct 24 13 10:02 am Link what are the best makeup airbrush kits to buy and where?
