Invoicing bridal and event makeup

Price the day by the face. Put your bridal rate on one line, then add a second line for the bridesmaids with the number of faces in the quantity column and your per-person rate in the rate column — five bridesmaids at your rate totals automatically. Keep the trial, any early-start fee for a dawn ceremony, and travel or on-location charges as their own lines so the bride sees exactly what she is paying for.

To reserve the date, issue one invoice for the deposit; on the event day, make a second invoice for every face and fee, then use the single fixed-amount discount to subtract the deposit already taken so the total reads as the balance due. Set an issue date and a due date — many MUAs want the balance cleared before or on the event day.

Use the notes field for the details a makeup invoice needs but has no dedicated box for: the event date, the getting-ready location or venue, the call time, and the head count your quote was based on. Your draft autosaves in the browser as you work, so once you have built out one booking you can reopen it for the next bride and just change the invoice number, the dates, and the number of faces.

Seven faces before an 11am ceremony

A July wedding with seven faces to get through and a 4:45am start in the hotel suite. The bride's application sits on its own line, while the four bridesmaids and both mothers share a single line at the per-face rate, so the head count the quote was built on is right there in the quantity column. The trial two weeks earlier was a separate appointment and stays a separate line, and the assistant is billed for the hours she was actually on site rather than as a flat second-artist fee. The pre-dawn call is charged in the open instead of being folded into the per-face rate, and no tax line is applied here.

Because the whole party sits on one per-face line, a late head-count change is one number in the quantity column and the line and invoice retotal themselves.

Terms worth pinning down before the wedding day

  • Face count in quantity

    Give the bride her own line and the bridal party a second line with the number of faces in the quantity column, so the count the quote was based on is checkable rather than buried in a package price.

  • Trial as a separate line

    The trial was a different day's work, so list it on its own line, and if you credit it toward the wedding total, apply that with the single fixed-amount discount.

  • Early-start and add-on charges

    A pre-dawn call time, airbrush, lashes, and a touch-up hour after the ceremony are each chargeable, so give them their own lines rather than quietly raising your per-face rate to cover them.

  • Travel billed by the mile

    Put the round-trip miles in the quantity column and your per-mile rate in the unit price, and the line prices itself — clearer than a round-number travel fee the client cannot check.

  • Call sheet and payment timing

    The getting-ready address, your call time, the ceremony time, the face-count deadline, and when the balance settles all go in the notes field, since the form has no venue or event-date box.

Frequently asked questions

How do I charge per face for a bridal party?

Give the bride her own line, then add a line for the bridesmaids with the number of faces in the quantity column and your per-person rate in the rate column. The line and invoice totals calculate automatically, so a party of five is one clean line rather than five.

How do I show a deposit or retainer on the invoice?

The tool has one fixed-amount discount, so on the final invoice list every face and fee, then subtract the deposit as that discount to leave the balance due. Alternatively, send a separate deposit invoice when the date is booked and a second invoice for the balance on the event day.

Should I bill the trial separately from the wedding?

Most MUAs list the trial as its own line since it is a separate appointment — if you credit it toward the wedding, apply that with the fixed-amount discount. Add travel, parking, or an early-start fee for a sunrise call as their own lines too.

Do I charge tax on makeup services?

It depends on where you work and whether you are registered for sales tax, VAT, or GST — rules vary, and some places treat services differently from any products you retail. If you need to charge it, set the label and rate; if not, leave the tax field empty and check with an accountant when you are unsure.
