Bride-to-Be Shocked at How Much It Will Cost to Hire a Makeup Artist for Destination Wedding
A friend of a bride-to-be took to TikTok to share her friend's shock and disappointment in the price it cost to have a traveling makeup artist for her wedding The friend revealed that a makeup artist provided a quote over $125,000 for the service The friend expressed doubt that she might ever get married due to weddings being "outrageously expensive"One 2025 bride-to-be is putting her foot down when it comes to certain costs for her wedding. A friend of the bride-to-be shared how disappointed and shocked the bride was to learn it would cost over $125,000 to have a well-known makeup artist travel for her upcoming wedding. "I feel so bad for the girls and the fiancées who are 2025, 2026 brides. I'm feeling bad for the whole family at this point, because in today's day and time, every aspect of a wedding is so outrageously expensive," TikTok user Emily Landon said in a May 1 post to the platform. She added, "My friend reached out to a well-known makeup artist to see what the pricing will be."The TikToker then brought up a screenshot of the email that her friend received from the unnamed makeup artist with the breakdown of the fees in order to travel to the wedding, which appears to be in Sicily. The breakdown included a fee to reserve the dates of travel for the wedding, a separate fee for the wedding day makeup, reserved business class flights for the makeup artist and the assistant and more. While Landon noted that makeup artists are entitled to require fees and accommodations for their time, she said, "these makeup artists and other vendors and venues are charging not even a down payment for a house, you could buy the whole f------ house." "[The makeup artist's] typical rate starting out is $25,000 each travel day. Glam for the wedding day [is] $50,000," she explained. "We're spending $125,000 and we haven't even gotten to travel accommodations."

The TikToker continued, "The hotel has to be pre-approved. You have to pay for the transportation for their makeup artist and their assistant. I get it, but $100,000-plus? I will not be getting married." Users in the comments agreed with Landon and were unable to understand why wedding day makeup would ever cost that amount of money. "I come from a wealthy community where some people pay a million dollars for a wedding and I've literally never heard of makeup costing more than $1,500????" one user shared, while another user added, "That price is actually them saying no without having to fight or be guilt tripped by brides who don't hear no very often." A third TikTok user pointed out that "this person probably works with very specific clientele and/or gave these rates to scare off your friend. The average person doesn't have to worry about paying anything close to this for makeup." is now available in the Apple App Store!

"If it's a celeb then duh it's gonna cost a lot. It's like asking Beyonce to perform at your wedding for $3,000," a user remarked on the follow-up video. Read the original article on People

Chicago doctor talks new COVID-19 vaccine requirements
President Donald Trump's administration has set new requirements for COVID-19 vaccines in healthy adults and children. In a significant new policy shift by the White House, the annual shots will no longer be routinely approved but will face a more stringent set of guidelines, which require more evidence for new shots for healthy adults and kids. More Coverage: WGN's Medical Watch Dr. Emily Landon, the executive medical director for infection prevention and control at the University of Chicago, joined WGN's Evening News at 4 p.m. on Tuesday. She said the annual booster will still be available for those with medical problems that put them at higher risk of COVID or a medical outcome. Landon said that the new policy may make it harder for 'healthy' Americans to get the booster shots covered by their insurance, however. Watch the entire interview in the video player above.

Bride-to-be's pal shocked over makeup artist's $125K quote for wedding day primping: ‘I will not be getting married'
Bridal glam just got a whole lot less pretty with its wild cost. A Texas woman is going viral for her reaction to her friend's mind-blowing $125,000 quote to have her makeup done on her wedding day. 'In today's day and time, every aspect of a wedding is so outrageously expensive,' Emily Landon said in a now-trending TikTok with over 1.5 million views. 'I'm feeling so bad for the girls and the fiancées who are 2025 and 2026 brides,' the 23-year-old added. The Dallas local told Newsweek she was floored after her friend reached out to a 'well-known' makeup artist — and was emailed an invoice that could fund a small wedding… or two. Landon broke down the invoice, explaining that the makeup artist's typical day rate is $25,000 starting out. 'Glam for the wedding date? $50,000. Right off the rip, we're spending $125,000 and we haven't even gotten to travel accommodations.' Add in demands like business-class flights and hotel approval — and the bride-to-be was already over it. 'This is just so shocking to me,' Landon said. 'But … 100 grand plus? I'm sorry, I can't. I will not be getting married.' Commenters clutched their pearls. 'Did you guys notice the business class requirement for the flight?! This is outrageous,' one person gasped. But others questioned the logic. 'Okay but why would she reach out to a well-known MUA (who presumably works with A-listers)?' another posted. 'That's like asking Harry Styles to perform at your wedding and being shocked when he asks for $2 million.' Professional makeup artist Jonna Legg chimed in, 'That's super weird. I'm a pro, award-winning MUA and I charge $200 for a bride. $1 per km for travel.' Some brides are ditching glam squads altogether this year — and their bank accounts are breathing easier. 'I decided to do it myself,' Megan Diem Easton, 25, of Nashville, Tennessee, recently told The Post, adding she spent less than $100 on products from drugstore makeup brand, Milani Cosmetics. 'My wedding morning was very wholesome… The whole day was about love — not how I looked.' It's a growing trend, especially in the Big Apple. 'The New York bride is an independent, self-sufficient girl — the city just brings it out of them,' celebrity MUA Kelli Ann Sewell, 29, told The Post. 'The [DIY bridal] makeup trend is reflective of that self-confidence.' With US weddings now averaging a whopping $36,000, many brides are cutting corners creatively. Monica Razak, 29, of Jersey City, hand-stitched her own gown for $700 after ghosting her $10K Kleinfeld bridal dress dreams. California bride Lauren Avery Holmes even washed off a pro's work 20 minutes before saying 'I do.' 'I already look a lot more like myself,' she declared in a now-private TikTok. 'So much better.' Boston bride Zoe Bucuvalas made a pit stop at Sephora on her wedding day. 'My makeup artist was amazing, but I wanted to wear my favorite lip gloss at the reception,' she told The Post. 'There's this stigma that brides have to fully entrust their looks to makeup artists, but you really don't… I felt like the best version of myself.' In the end, it's not about the glam — it's about feeling good enough to say 'I do.'
