Gayathri helped me prepare for an onsite photo shoot, and before the day we sat down for about an hour to work out the makeup look, from the shades and eye colors to the eyelashes, blush, and lipstick. It was really good because she had experience with dark skin, and the makeup looked right and did not look ashy or washed out. On the day of the shoot she joined me early in the morning, stayed on site the entire time for touch ups and changes with different outfits, and I thought it was a fantastic experience. She was incredibly professional, had her kit ready to go, the price felt more than affordable, and I would definitely hire her again.

I have been with Valerie since my wedding ten years ago, and I really like that she recommends colours that suit me, listens to what I say, and does not rush through the whole process. She explains why she is using certain products for me, so it never feels like something she just replicates for everybody, and she gives her honest opinion while still respecting what I want for myself. More recently she did my makeup and hair for a corporate shoot, and I also appreciated that she prepared a little touch up package for me afterwards because she considered that my shot might only be a few hours later. Her prices feel reasonable, maybe a bit premium, but not unreasonable.

We had a wonderful experience with Paula during a one-to-one makeup class. We were actually her first clients, and she was incredibly patient, calm, and explained everything clearly while taking things step by step. Although the class was planned for one hour, there was no rush at all and she spent much longer with us to make sure we felt comfortable and got the most out of it. What I appreciated most was how personalised everything was-her advice, techniques, and colour matching were adapted to our individual faces, which is something you simply can’t learn from YouTube videos. I picked up some genuinely useful tips, and the final result was above my expectations. Paula clearly puts a lot of care into improving the quality of her service, and she even followed up afterwards to check that we felt confident applying what we had learned. Highly recommended.
How much do makeup artists and hair stylists cost in Singapore?
Real price ranges from the jobs our vetted makeup artists and hair stylists actually do. Updated June 2026
Evening / party makeup
How much does party makeup cost in Singapore?
A single look for an evening event is S$180 to S$400, which is the same rate a solemnisation is charged at. Artists price per look rather than by the hour, so the question when booking is how many looks and whether you want the artist to stay for touch-ups, which is where hourly standby rates come in. For a dinner or a company function, one look is normally all you need and the lower end of that range is realistic. Ask whether lashes are included, since they are frequently an add-on and almost every artist will recommend them.

Photoshoot / editorial makeup
How much does photoshoot makeup cost in Singapore?
Makeup for a pre-wedding or portrait shoot is S$238 to S$500 for a single look, slightly above an evening rate because shoot makeup is applied heavier and checked against the camera rather than the room. Multiple looks across a shoot day are priced per look, so a two look shoot is roughly double. For commercial and editorial work the artist is normally booked by the day and quoted per job. If the shoot is outdoors in Singapore, ask what the artist does about humidity and sweat, since that is the difference between makeup lasting the morning and lasting an hour.

Prom / graduation makeup
How much does prom or graduation makeup cost in Singapore?
A single look is S$180 to S$400, the same as any evening booking, and the lower end is realistic for a straightforward look with no trial. Hair styling is usually bundled into that rather than charged separately. For a graduation, where photographs happen in daylight and often outdoors, ask for something lighter than a wedding finish, since heavy makeup that reads well under banquet lighting looks very different at midday. Booking a group together is worth asking about, as artists will often do a better per person rate when they are doing several at one location.

Special effects / theatrical makeup
How much does special effects makeup cost in Singapore?
This is a small specialism in Singapore and it is quoted per job rather than per look, because the work ranges from a Halloween wound to prosthetics built for a film. Ordinary bookings for comparison are S$180 to S$400 a look, and effects work is meaningfully above that once materials and application time are counted, with prosthetic pieces often made in advance. Ask to see the artist's effects portfolio specifically rather than their beauty work, since they are different skills, and allow far more time on the day than a normal makeup booking would need.

Bridal makeup
How much does bridal makeup cost in Singapore?
Bridal makeup in Singapore runs S$238 to S$3,000 depending on the artist and the day. A lunch reception with one or two looks and a trial is S$488 to S$800, a dinner banquet with two looks and a trial is S$600 to S$1,000, and a full day package with two or three looks, a trial and touch-ups is S$700 to S$1,500 and up. Celebrity and premium artists are S$1,200 to S$3,000. Trials are often billed separately at around S$300. Watch for the early morning surcharge, commonly S$50 an hour before 7am, which almost every Singapore wedding triggers.

Makeup for mature skin
How much does makeup for mature skin cost in Singapore?
The rate is the same as any other booking, S$180 to S$400 for a single look, and within a wedding package the mothers of the bride and groom are usually charged as additional people at close to that. What differs is technique rather than price: lighter coverage, less powder and careful work around texture, which not every artist does well. Ask to see photographs of the artist's work on older clients specifically rather than only bridal portfolios. A trial is worth more here than at any other age, and at around S$300 it is money well spent if the event matters.

Bridal hair
How much does bridal hair cost in Singapore?
Hair and makeup are almost always sold together in Singapore rather than separately, so the figures are the package ones: S$488 to S$800 for a lunch reception, S$600 to S$1,000 for a dinner, and S$700 to S$1,500 for a full day with several looks. A change of styling between looks is priced as an add-on, with one published list showing one look at S$400 and one look with a change of styling at S$700. If you only want hair, a salon upstyle is S$120 to S$200, but you lose the on-the-day touch-ups that a booked artist provides.

Bridesmaid hairstyles
How much does bridesmaid hair and makeup cost in Singapore?
Bridesmaids are charged per person on top of the bride's package, at rates close to a single look, so roughly S$180 to S$400 each depending on the artist. Groom styling and makeup is a smaller add-on at around S$100. Because the artist is already there, the per person rate is usually better than booking separately, and many will bring an assistant if there are several of you, which is what keeps the morning on schedule. Ask how long each person takes and work backwards from when you need to leave, since this is the step that most often overruns.

Evening / party hairstyles
How much does event hair styling cost in Singapore?
Hair for an evening event is normally bundled with makeup at S$180 to S$400 for a single look. Booked at a salon instead, an upstyle is S$120 to S$200 and a blow dry with simple styling is S$57 to S$93, which is the cheaper route if you are doing your own makeup. The trade-off is location and timing: a salon means travelling and a fixed appointment, while a mobile artist comes to you and stays until you leave. For anything where you are being photographed, the mobile option is usually worth the difference.

Updos and occasion styling
How much does an updo cost in Singapore?
A salon upstyle is S$120 to S$200, and an updo as part of a mobile hair and makeup booking sits inside the S$180 to S$400 single look rate. Where a booking involves changing from one style to another during the day, that is priced as a change of styling, taking a S$400 single look to around S$700. Ask for a trial if the style is complicated or your hair is difficult, and be realistic about Singapore's humidity: a structured updo holds far better here than anything relying on a smooth blow dry, which is why so many local styles are pinned rather than loose.

Hair and makeup for events (combined)
How much does hair and makeup cost for an event in Singapore?
Combined hair and makeup is the standard way it is sold here. A single look is around S$400, two looks S$800, and adding a change of styling brings those to roughly S$700 and S$1,100. For a solemnisation or a smaller occasion, one look is S$180 to S$400. Groom styling and makeup is usually a small add-on at around S$100. The two charges people miss are the trial, at about S$300, and the early morning surcharge of roughly S$50 an hour before 7am, which applies to most Singapore wedding mornings and should be in the quote.

Makeup lessons and workshops
How much does a makeup lesson cost in Singapore?
One to one lessons are quoted per session rather than off a list, and as a benchmark they sit around the single look rate of S$180 to S$400 for a couple of hours, since the artist's time is the same either way. Group workshops cost less per person. It is a reasonable purchase if you want to do your own makeup for an event, and a much better one if you bring the products you actually own, so the lesson teaches you to use them rather than sells you new ones. Ask whether the artist has a retail arrangement, since that changes what gets recommended.

Do makeup artists come to you in Singapore, and what does it cost?
Coming to you is the norm here rather than an extra, which is why bridal packages are priced per look rather than per hour. Expect the standard figures: S$180 to S$400 for a single look, S$488 to S$1,000 for an actual day package. The charge that is genuinely additional is time of day, with early morning surcharges of around S$50 an hour before 7am, and most Singapore weddings start with a gate-crash before dawn. Tell the artist where you will be getting ready and whether there is a mirror and good light, because a hotel bathroom and a HDB bedroom are very different working conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What people want to know before hiring makeup artists and hair stylists in Singapore.
What should I check before hiring makeup artists and hair stylists in Singapore?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and a price in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check the credential yourself rather than taking it on trust.
How are prices quoted in Singapore?
Watch for prices shown with "++". That means 10% service charge and 9% GST are added on top, so a quoted S$100 is really about S$120. Ask whether a figure is nett before you compare two quotes.
Do I need a licensed professional in Singapore?
For some trades, yes, and it is not optional. Electrical work needs an EMA licensed electrical worker, plumbing that touches the public supply needs a PUB licensed plumber, and building work falls under BCA. Ask for the licence number.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other people's reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and turns up when they said they would.
What should I avoid when hiring makeup artists and hair stylists in Singapore?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I find makeup artists and hair stylists I can trust in Singapore?
