Free Makeup Artist Invoice Template

Makeup artists often bill several people on one booking, especially for weddings, where the bride, bridesmaids and family members each have different services. A clear invoice lists every person or service, the trial, early-morning call fees, travel and any assistant artists, so the person paying knows exactly what the total covers. That matters when costs are being split between family members or between the couple and a planner.

The template is set up for a wedding morning: bridal makeup, bridal party makeup per person, a trial run held earlier and a travel fee. For editorial or commercial shoots, swap these for a day or half-day rate and note any kit fees. Include your deposit amount and the date it was paid so the balance is clear, and add an early-start surcharge if you begin before 7am.

FAQ

Should I take a deposit for bridal makeup bookings?

Yes, most artists require a non-refundable deposit or retainer, often 30-50%, to secure a wedding date, since you'll turn away other work for that day. Record the deposit on the final invoice and set the balance due on or before the wedding morning. Spell out what happens if the party size changes.

How do I invoice a commercial or editorial shoot?

Commercial and editorial work is usually billed at a half-day or full-day rate rather than per face, with overtime charged hourly after the agreed time. Add kit fees, assistant fees and travel as separate lines. Production companies often require an invoice with their job number and may pay net 30, so ask early.

Can I charge for a makeup trial separately?

Yes. Many artists bill trials as a separate service on their own invoice, or include them in a bridal package. If paid separately, note the trial date on the final invoice for reference. Charging for trials values your time, product and planning, and it filters out clients who are only shopping for ideas.
