Honest status: QuoteZila is pre-launch. Customers cannot post jobs yet, and no businesses are listed yet. This page explains how QuoteZila will work for makeup artists, and for homeowners who need one. We are signing up local businesses first, starting in Cheshire.
What does a makeup artist do?
A makeup artist applies makeup for weddings, proms, parties, photoshoots and special occasions, usually travelling to you or to the venue. Typical services include:
- Bridal makeup, including a trial
- Bridesmaids, mothers and guests
- Prom and party makeup
- Photoshoot and event makeup
- Makeup lessons
- Airbrush makeup
What should I check before hiring a makeup artist?
General guidance, whichever way you find someone:
- Ask for a trial before a wedding, and how many people can be done within your time window.
- Tell them about allergies and skin sensitivities, and ask what products are used.
- Agree timings carefully: the artist may need to arrive hours before photographs.
- Ask about deposits, cancellations and what happens if they are ill on the day.
QuoteZila plans to show customers what we checked about each business and when. Those labels describe checks only and are not a guarantee of any business or its work.
How will QuoteZila help me find makeup artists near me?
- Post your job for free. Describe the makeup artistry work and where you are.
- Matched local businesses send quotes. Each job is planned to go to a small number of suitable businesses, not the whole town.
- Compare. See what each quote includes, ask questions and review what has been checked.
- Choose. Pick who you want and agree the details in writing.
This is how QuoteZila is designed to work. Customer posting is not open yet.
What should I put in my makeup artist job description?
- Give the date, time and location, and say how many people need makeup.
- Attach reference photos of the look you like.
- Mention allergies or sensitive skin.
- Say whether you want a trial and a lesson.
Are you a makeup artist in Cheshire? How can you get local work with no lead fees?
QuoteZila is built so that local businesses spend their time quoting, not buying enquiries. Our intention is no lead fees: you would not pay per enquiry, per job or per quote. The first 500 businesses to join at launch (the Launch 500) get 2 months free with no card needed. After that the planned price is £15 a month, starting later and only once you accept the terms. That is our current plan, not a contract. Choose Makeup artistry as your main trade on the sign-up form and tell us how far you travel.

Which Cheshire towns will QuoteZila cover?
We are launching first in Crewe, Nantwich, Sandbach, Congleton, Winsford, Middlewich, and the wider county. See the Cheshire areas page for details. A launch area is where we plan to start, not a claim that makeup artists are already listed there.
Frequently asked questions about makeup artists
Do I need a makeup trial before my wedding?
Many people book one so they can agree the look and timings. Ask the artist whether it is included or charged separately.
Will a makeup artist travel to my venue?
Most will, particularly for weddings. Give the venue's location and time, and ask what travel is included in the quote.
