Nowadays some clients choose their makeup artist based on the rates alone. What's funny is some people ask for so much discount then ask what brand of make up you use. Sometimes you give them discount and yet they ask for more. It can really get so frustrating. And you are right, we dont go to their businesses or work and ask for discount or for free services. Thank you for this :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667365303629165310.post-67910833330618457482013-06-17T22:34:44.621+08:002013-06-17T22:34:44.621+08:00Bambi, i feel you here, photographers and H&MU...Bambi, i feel you here, photographers and H&MUA comes with so many things in common... :) Cheers! more projects to come.. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919801139233332983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667365303629165310.post-55446347876442478042013-06-17T21:35:05.712+08:002013-06-17T21:35:05.712+08:00Clap clap clap Bambi!

Kung alam lang nila kung gaano kamahal yung nilalagay sa mukha nila that will make the look fresh. <br /><br />You've done few make ups with me and wala akong angal sa price. Why? Kasi satisfied ako sa outcome and people praised your work alot! Nung hindi ka pwede one time mag make up sa akin kasi may wedding ka, I had some1 do my make up. It was ok naman. A little pricey than yours. Again, the make up was ok. Ito na, sa party. People were asking kung sino nag make up sa akin and they were looking for your trademark. (the 1 you put on my cheeks ü i so love that product)!<br /><br />Point is, you see the reaction of the people and keep searching for it, sulit ang binayad mo sa make up kahit na mahal.Yes, 1 day lang naman yung make up pero make it memorable. Di ba? <br /><br />Sana before they bargain, they do their homework naman about make up. Pasalamat nga sila at sila pa yung pupuntahan. Sitting pretty na lang sila and will just wait for the muas.<br /><br />Thanks Bambi for voicing out and for being my make up artist. Guys, no joke. Whenever we have company parties, Bambi is my top 1. I'm not saying this because we know each other but because I love her works!<br /><br />I salute you dear! lincnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667365303629165310.post-28904335732836663112013-06-17T21:05:46.407+08:002013-06-17T21:05:46.407+08:00Great post!

Continuing Education alone, costs me about $2100, not to include the $100-$200 I spent everytime I attend one of MACs workshops.

Sometimes ang nakikita lang nila na dapat silang ma-charge is what they see on the day you were there to render your services. Pero a lot of costs were incurred before that. The cost to grow ourselves, yung pag-reresearch/ continuous education. Parang iphone, feeling ko, yung cost to actually make an iphone, mura lang, pero yung r&d costs na hindi natin nakikita, that's what we pay for (although I still think overpriced ang iphone, but that wasn't the point :P)<br /><br />anyway, meron naman tlagang professionals who charge more than they are worth. so we need to research din.<br /><br />i know of a makeup artist who charges 2,500. pero worth it coz inaral nya talaga face ko. he even asked if he can check some of my photos on facebook so he can 'study' my face. and he had all the products available to suit my skin type.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14812286705027210539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667365303629165310.post-65000311993836371672013-02-19T00:24:28.198+08:002013-02-19T00:24:28.198+08:00Hi Ms.Bambi, I totally agree on all your points.

I'm not the first person who blogged about this. There have been blogs too why we charge as such and even memes and status messages going around in facebook and twitter. I think it's time that we be fair to ourselves and show others why we're not worth php500 pesos or TY lang for credits. And if you think I'll never get a client after, well, I just booked a client last night.<br /><br />A wise friend just told me, you have to give yourself some respect, and then others will respect you for your worth. I personally would rather book the few clients who would book me for my skill than book like ten clients because I was willing to go for 1000 pesos. Ako rin kawawa. i'm pagod, i work at a loss, and nabawas products ko.
