Pricing calculatorPricing Calculator — Premium
Makeup artists who price bridal trials and prom bookings the same as a standard occasion makeup give away the product testing, the trial hours, and the travel invisibly. This Premium pricing calculator separates them. Ten services come pre-loaded — bridal makeup, bridal party makeup, bridal trials, occasion and event makeup, prom makeup, editorial and fashion shoots, TV and film makeup, one-to-one makeup lessons, group workshops, and commercial shoots — each with editable on-site time and product cost. Enter your hourly rate once and every service rebuilds with margin shown alongside. A quote builder handles bridal packages and group bookings, a booking log tracks every client, an expenses tracker keeps product and travel spend visible, and a monthly dashboard shows which services actually pay. Delivered as one Excel workbook for UK makeup artists — price with confidence.
