Makeup artists in Hong Kong

Updated 5 November 2026

Makeup prices in Hong Kong range from about HK$1,800 for an on-location session to HK$2,800 to HK$3,200 for wedding-day makeup. Bridal packages start from HK$3,380, and a bridal trial is charged separately. To see current prices for your date and district, describe the look you want on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences and training

No licence or certificate is compulsory to work as a makeup artist in Hong Kong, so the rules do not check the skills of the person who comes to you. Ask for a portfolio of recent bridal work and ask what training the artist has. Courses such as ITEC Level 3 in stage and media makeup appear among the local course listings, and a certificate from such a course is a fair sign of training.

Season, dates and the early morning rate

Hong Kong's summer runs from June to August and is hot, so ask for long-wear products if the ceremony is outdoors. Winter runs from December to February, and popular dates can fill early, so request quotes as soon as you have a date. Early morning sessions carry an extra fee, so state the start time when you ask for a price.

How the service is bought here

Prices are per session, and on-location work is available across Hong Kong, including Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun, subject to the artist's availability. A trial is often a separate visit on another day, and one studio waives half the trial fee when a package is confirmed on the trial day. Ask whether the price includes a hairstyle, how many people are made up, and what call-out charge applies to your address.

What to write in your request

Give the makeup type (bridal, party, photo shoot or everyday), the number of people, and whether you need a hairstyle as well. Add the date, the time you need to start, the district, and whether you want a trial beforehand. Mention the experience you expect from the artist and your budget in HK$, so the offers can be compared on the same basis.

To get offers on BlaBlaPrice, write the date, the district and the look in your own words in the chat, and add a photo of the style you like. The service is free for buyers. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their price, terms and availability, and your contacts stay private until you decide to exchange them. Begin on the request page, or see hairdressing if you also want a hairstyle quote.
