I have found that generally all the well known makeup artists that you see mentioned on these sites all charge around the same pricing. Which isn't terrible compared to what you may pay in the US. I have gotten quotes from most of the ones mentioned here and it came down to the travelling fee. I would suggest you get an artist who operates out of the particular area, as this helps to cut down on the cost. I didn't' mind paying the price they were willing to charge for the makeup application, but I was not willing to pay the travelling fee which in some cases was costing more than the makeup itself.
