Makeup Artist's Complaint about Being Booked by Non-Paying Celebrity for Transportation

"Confessions of a Makeup Artist Being Booked by an Artist Who Doesn't Pay Transportation Fee"

Dream - Professional makeup artists (MUA) often have the opportunity to meet public figures because their makeup styles are attractive and can create perfect makeup looks. However, not all MUA have pleasant experiences when their services are booked by public figures. Some MUA also have unpleasant experiences when working with public figures, one of whom is the owner of the TikTok account @makeupbyzoraa.

Makeup Artist's Complaint about Being Booked by Non-Paying Celebrity for Transportation

Initially, the MUA received a message through Instagram direct message from a verified account that turned out to be a quite famous public figure. After being responded to, the quite famous public figure took quite a long time to respond back.

Although so, MUA still provides a booking form and requests a down payment for their makeup service. The public figure did not fill out the booking form or give any notice at all, so the MUA considers that their service is no longer needed.

"\u201cSuddenly on the D-day, where this artist wanted to book me, I received a WhatsApp message from this artist again informing me about the makeup location and time. I thought it was okay, no down payment, so I still came. Meanwhile, I was actually having a job in Nusa Dua at that time,\u201d"

MUA also approached public figures who were in Canggu, Bali. After doing the makeup for the public figures, MUA went home and sent an invoice for their services. The contents of the invoice consist of the price for makeup services, hairdo, hair accessories, and transportation costs.

The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The fee for the MUA's services is paid directly, but only for the makeup fee. The MUA also charges transportation costs to the public figure, but the cost has not been paid until now. As a result, the MUA feels deceived by the public figure. "Feels like being deceived by an artist. I don't know if I'm allowed to be angry or not, but I just want to tell the story."

MUA also considers it as a learning material to organize their invoice in order to have a more comfortable communication with clients. In the comment section, some netizens who work as MUA also feel the same way. Some of them also give tips to organize a clearer invoice for MUA clients. "It's true that transportation fee is actually quite difficult, that's why now I directly increase the makeup price and include a note about transportation fee," said @menuhwahyunad.

"Fee transport, why is it so difficult for some people to accept? I have experienced the same thing, even though if we don't use it, how can we go anywhere," commented @beesajah. "As for me, I no longer mention separate transport fees. Once I know the exact location, I provide a price that already includes transport. Because some clients don't want to bother," wrote @yvliasaraah.
