Work out how much it'd would cost to do each person (how much of your materials you use) and then if you want a profit add that on and charge like that =] when your working out the cost of materials, over-estimate rather than under so you know youve got enough cash to replace what you use =]

$50 is too cheap :/ for simple bridal makeup etc.prices start from $70 depending where you go. more time and effort goes into special effects it should be more!

I agree with Liliana, $50 is still a little too cheap, and Hazel makes some really good points. You have to charge a bit more after you factor in how much it's going to cost to replace materials you've used or you won't be profiting much, you'll just be breaking even. Which isn't really bad but I'm assuming you want to make money from it lol. So add up how much you've spent or are going to spend on materials and then tack on whatever amount you want to make from it. There are some formulas online you can look up too. Just search for something like "formula for pricing your work"
