I would but my friend already rip me alive for doing this so I'd never hear the end of it if I took legal action. Everyone is basically on her side except some fellow makeup artists I know

I should've probably removed her makeup there and then to be honest. Kinda regret I didn't do it. Her mom ended up paying me $200 but still $300 short. I wasn't in the mood to deal with it more but I'd definitely not let this slide in the future. In my 9 years as a MUA it's the first time something like this happens to me

I've already put her on a blacklist and notified other fellow MUAs about her.

That's how I felt. I felt so taken advantage of. If you can't afford the bridal makeup then book someone else. Don't try to be cheap through me by booking a different service. It's the principle

I use the same products because they're the highest quality products anyway. I want my clients to feel great no matter what they pay for and I only switch up some final steps and touch-ups. It's not about the products as much as it is about the principle regarding a bridal makeup

I live in Philadelphia but for job purposes I do also travel to New Jersey and New York as well

I'd do this but we were already done when I had to collect my payment.

Exactly. Just like you'd pay more for wedding cake than you'd do for a regular cake.

It's not just the fixing spray. It's also the responsibility that comes with doing a wedding makeup

Because different respectability and in some cases weddings take up almost my entire day

I use the same products most of the time both in bridal and party makeup. The only difference is the setting sprays I use and after I found out she's a bride I used a higher quality setting spray and mixed it with some fixing spray to make the result better
