1. Bride Only
Typical range: $350 to $650 in Dallas.
Includes the trial, the wedding-day makeup, lashes, and a small touch-up kit. Best fit for elopements, courthouse weddings, and brides whose attendants do their own makeup.
What changes the price: artist experience tier, whether the trial is included or charged separately, and travel distance to the venue.
2. Bride and Mother (Or Bride and One)
Typical range: $550 to $900.
Bride-tier service for the bride, standard service for the second person. A common package for small weddings and second marriages.
3. Bride and Bridesmaids (3 to 5)
Typical range: $900 to $1,800.
Bride trial, wedding-day makeup for the bride, and makeup for 3 to 5 bridesmaids on-site. Timeline runs roughly 45 minutes per face, so 4 bridesmaids plus the bride is a 4-hour booking minimum.
4. Bride and Full Party (6+)
Typical range: $1,800 to $2,800.
Larger parties usually need a second artist on the team. Confirm with your lead artist who they bring as a second, and request to see the second artist’s portfolio. The work needs to be consistent across faces.
5. Destination or Long-Travel Package
Typical range: $2,000 to $5,000+.
Covers travel, lodging, and on-site services for venues outside the Dallas/Fort Worth metro. For Hill Country, Marfa, and out-of-state Texas destinations, expect a flat travel fee plus per-face pricing.
6. Add-Ons
- Strip or cluster lashes: usually included in bridal pricing, $15 to $25 for attendants.
- Touch-up kit (custom-built): $40 to $85.
- Second look (reception change): $150 to $300.
- Airbrush upgrade: $50 to $100 per face.
- On-site stay through ceremony: $100 to $200 per hour.
