What to Expect From Makeup Parties

Written by Courtney L. | 29 July 2010

Ever thought of hosting a makeup party? If you’re like most women, you probably have not even heard of a makeup party. Makeup parties are becoming all the rage across the world as women collaborate and share beauty tips and secrets with one another. Not only that, but all women at the party may very well get a free make over! Now who doesn’t want to get in on that?

Makeup parties are either hosted by a friend who may have a talent for make up, or by a professional cosmetologist (who may or may not be affiliated with and promoting a certain brand of makeup). Makeup parties not only offer makeovers to the women in attendance, but they also:

  • Share and reveal secrets that you have probably never even heard of
  • Learn about where to find the best stuff at bargain bin prices
  • Bring the professional makeup to you (if you hire a professional to run the makeup party)

Most makeup parties run any where from 1-3 hours in duration and allow enough time for at least 2 lucky women to receive a make over. Depending on how many beauticians are applying the make up, all women may very well walk out of the party with a brand new face!

TIP: For a truly pampering experience, hire on a hair dresser as well to come and help you ladies with your hair.

Makeup parties are a great idea for many reasons. One of the most popular being:

You’ll look fantastic for a night out on the town! If you have a big date planned or a fun night with the girls ahead of you, getting a make over before you head out is a great start to your evening! You’ll be looking and feeling your best the entire time.

You can experiment with different wedding looks. If you are a bride-to-be who is trying to find out just what bridal makeup you would like to be wearing on your special day, having a makeover party can help you decide what works, what doesn’t work, and what you definitely want to be wearing for your wedding.

To give yourself an indulgent treat. We all know just how much we need a break from time to time – why not give yourself a break in your own home with a makeup party?

Makeup parties are a great idea for teens and adults alike. Teen makeup parties tend to be slightly less expensive than an adult makeup party, though the average price range can be any where from $300 to $1000. The cost depends on the personnel who are going to be applying the makeup (is it only one person? Or will there be more cosmetologists?), the length of the party, and sometimes the quality of the makeup that is being used. Some makeup party hosts also charge for the amount of time it takes for them to travel to your home, so be ready for any transportation costs.
