So I've been offered to be a SFX Artist for this Halloween Sale this Sunday. I will have my own booth to do anyone's makeup if they ask for a fee.
This is my first time doing something like this, and I don't know how to charge. I don't want it to be too expensive that no one would want to do it, but I also don't want it to be too cheap either.
I was thinking a price range of $5 - 30, for simple prosthetics. But I don't know what the people (consumers) will ask me to do?
Any advice on how to price, especially with the different levels of SFX?

Ahhh, I wish there was such a fairy, haha. I won't be airbrushing but I have liquid latex and scar wax, where I'm from its severely limited. There isn't any store that sells it, so I had to get mine overseas. The facepaints I have vary from the cheap ones at store to expensive face paints.
I fear how I price it would be too expensive for the general consumer...even if my products are expensive...

Totally agree with Jacequeline, setting out a tip jar is a great idea.
