Hey girls!
I'm planning my destination wedding in Igatpuri in January 2027 and could use some advice on the makeup front.
I have three functions planned - sangeet, haldi, and the wedding, but I only want a makeup artist for the sangeet and wedding. I personally prefer a very minimal, light look; honestly it's something I could do myself, but it would be nice to just sit back and relax while someone takes care of it.
The issue is that every MUA I've spoken to charges around ₹20,000 to ₹30,000 per function, which feels like a lot for a simple, natural look. I'm also not sure if artists are willing to travel to a destination just for two events.
Hair is non-negotiable for me so I do need someone for that but the makeup is more of a "nice to have."
Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? Did you find a local MUA at the venue/nearby town instead of bringing someone from the city? Or did you just negotiate a package deal? Would love to know what worked for you! 🙏
