Make-up artist invoice template and a free website

Bridal make-up is booked a year out and done in a few hours on the morning, often in a hotel room with poor light. Between weddings come shoots, proms and lessons. goud.work gives you quotes for the bride, invoices with your travel on them, and a free portfolio page that shows your work before anything else.

What goes on a make-up artist invoice

The lines are the ones you write every season: Bridal make-up, Bridal trial, Bridesmaid make-up, Occasion make-up, Photoshoot make-up and Travel charge, plus a Lesson priced by the hour. Send the bride a quote with the bridesmaids on one line, counted by how many there are. When she says yes, the quote becomes an invoice in one tap. Travel can be counted in miles. Reminders go out on their own if the balance is late, so you don't have to chase a bride the week of her wedding.

In Easy Invoice these are a tap each, and after a few invoices your own lines come first, with the last price you charged.

Your own page, free

Your page opens on the gallery, because brides choose with their eyes: soft glam, editorial, the trial next to the day. Under it come your services, with bridal from a price and shoots set to Ask. Reviews from past brides follow, then a Book button for quote requests, which you answer yourself. Add the area you travel to with a postcode and miles, your Instagram, and your insurer as a badge.

Questions make up artists ask

How much deposit should a bridal make-up artist take?

There's no fixed rule. Most artists take part of the fee up front to hold the date, since that morning can't be sold twice. Decide your own amount and whether it comes back if she cancels, and write it down. With goud.work, send the deposit as its own invoice, paid by bank transfer.

Should a make-up artist charge for a bridal trial?

Most do, because a trial takes about as long as the real thing and uses the same products. Put Bridal trial on its own line, either on an invoice soon after the trial or on the wedding quote. Some artists take it off the final bill when the bride books. That part is up to you.

How do I charge travel as a make-up artist?

Add a Travel charge line. You can set a flat price for the area you cover, or count it in miles so a venue two counties away costs what it should. Put parking or a hotel night on lines of their own. Clients take travel better when it's on the quote from the start.
