I was talking with Katherine Sealy over at Event Cosmetics the other day, and she brought up a great point about makeup, that hadn't occurred to me. If you're doing your own makeup, chances are you're going out and buying a whole bunch of products from expensive beauty lines such as MAC, Bobbi Brown, Prescriptives, etc., trying them out and not sure how it's all going to work. With foundations currently running about $30 (custom blends $50 and up), eye colors $15-20, and so on, all of a sudden the cost of your look can add up to more than $100, plus you have the hassle of doing it yourself and wondering if it's going to look good.
On the other hand, if you go in to a good makeup artist, the artist will already have all of these colors, and can give you a professional application in studio usually for less than $100, and you don't have to buy a bunch of product that you may not use on a daily basis, which will expire in three to six months.
Just something to think about!
