I'm looking for an affordable make-up artist. Everyone out here seems to be charging an arm and a leg! Any recommendations?

This is what I was going to recommend as well. Everyone I have contacted charges hundreds and hundreds of dollars and I just can't afford that.I was able to find someone who frellances on the weekends in the local facebook group and she was much m ore affordable.

The most reasonable option is often going to a hairsalon that also sells makeup and having it both done there day of. Hiring someone to come to you is going to run $100 to $150 per girl.
You might also get a makeover in a store and ask the makeup artist if she does weddings or has any interest. Also, if there are places in your area that train cosmetologist. That is a good option to find someone less expensive. Always worth paying for a trial to make sure you like their style and the makeup wears well. they should include a touch up kit.

I just asked everyone I knew who they used, and found someone who did it as a side gig.

I avoided the really expensive ones who specialize in weddings. Many wouldn't do a trial until after you signed up, were very expensive and when you look at their photos the girls all looked alike. Some you hardly recognized from the before picture. Be I want to feel gorgeous, but look like myself in all those pictures.

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?
