How much should I charge? This is a question that so many of you may have I have posted it for all of you to use the tip.
It is a good idea not to under charge or over charge a production. Some productions are use to pay $2000 a day to a makeup artist and
when you say you charge only 200 they will be a little concern about your services.
So what is a professional do in this case? If I am not sure who am I dealing with or what is there budget I always straight forward ask
them. Here is the magic question: What is your budget for this shoot as far for a makeup artist and makeup supplies (KIT Charge)
goes???
If they asked well we don't know how much do you charge? You then say: My rates varies, Let me know your minimum and maximum
budget and I see what I can do for you.
So have them say a number, You would be surprise how many times I have heard a number that was bigger than what I had in mined.
And don't forget if the number is average like $ 250 esh per day you can always ask for : How about $300 could we do it for 3??
It is called the arts of negotiations. I teach all of these in my classes and my friend you just hired me for free.

How should I start gaining experience? How do you negotiate your fees? Should I do free gigs and volunteer work for no money as a
makeup artist?
Here is a question that one of our graduates sent to me. I thought it will help all of you who are on your way to grow as a professional
makeup artist:
Sarah wrote: Hi Angie, I was just want to update you that I spoke with the film director that you have referred to me last Friday and I'll be
doing the makeup for 3 of her movies. I just want to thank you for forwarding me that lead...so THANK YOU!!! She said that if I did all
three movies for her, I would be paid.
In your opinion, what do you think would be a good negotiation for pay for three movies? I'm supposed to meet with her and her team
soon.
Thanks and hope you're doing well!! Be safe in all your travels!
My reply to advise our graduate:
I am happy for you; however I need to tell you that you are too good to be free. When it comes to do a free work you must realize that you
can offer your time and talent for free but you must get some pay to cover your costs.
I would ask for $100 product fee (makeup kit) and $50 travelling costs. You are still working for free but you should not pay out of your own
pocket. Let her know your kit is media pro and it costs a lot but she will have awesome results on her shoot.
Now the decision is yours to make.
When you common sense and reason people they can see your point. Now if she is a fare person and is not lying about her future
promises with you then she will pay you a minimum for your costs. Haw ever if she is one of those people who goes around and shops
for free artists all the time and never call them back again after the 3 free work then she may say no or make a excuse to not pay you at all.
Asking for your costs is a good test to see if this is a good investment for you.
Beside tell the director that she can defiantly get a cheap makeup artist who may not show up or don't know their things. But she will
never be able to hire some one like you with work etiquette and extreme talent for $150.
You must negotiate and fight for your pay and reason her while letting her know that you are doing it for free but not willing to do it for a lost.
PS; about the makeup supplies: make sure there are not additional special items needed for this shoot. If any items beyond a normal
makeup kit she must pay for it as well.
Let her know the pay would be in CASH and on the spot. And tell her that she can think about it and let you know of her decision.
It is great that you are giving yourself a chance but at the same time you must earn the art of negotiations and be willing to take some
risks. You have the experience and you have the talent don't do it for lost, do it for free ($150) only for two times not more than that.
