How much does school ball makeup cost in Perth?
School ball makeup in Perth starts from $150 per person, with a set of false lashes included. That’s the starting price for a full, long-wear look built to last a night of photos, dinner and dancing — and a travel fee may apply depending on where you’re getting ready.
What’s included in the price
The $150 per-person rate covers a complete formal look, not a stripped-back base you then pay to add to. As a mobile artist I come to you, so the price includes everything for a finished, photo-ready face:
- A full face of long-wear, transfer-resistant makeup
- A set of false lashes (included, not an add-on)
- Skin prep suited to young or sensitive skin
- A look matched to your dress, colouring and the night’s lighting

How much for a group
The per-person price stays the same whether you book on your own or with friends — there’s no group surcharge, and no group discount either. What changes when you book together is the logistics, and usually the travel:
| Booking | Price | Travel fee |
|---|---|---|
| One person | from $150 | One travel fee (if applicable) |
| Group, one location | from $150 each | Usually one shared fee |
| Group, multiple houses | from $150 each | A fee per stop |
Getting ready together in one spot is almost always the better value — everyone shares a single travel fee, and there’s no rushing makeup between houses before the cars arrive.
The travel fee, explained
I’m fully mobile and don’t work from a studio, so a travel fee may be added on top of the makeup price. It depends on your suburb and the distance involved. Close-in areas like Fremantle sit at the lower end, while a longer drive south or into the hills costs a little more. For a group getting ready in one location, that’s typically a single fee for the whole booking rather than one each — another reason to pick one host’s place.
How to keep the cost predictable
A few simple things keep your quote firm and avoid last-minute extras:
- Book early — 6–8 weeks out, or sooner for groups, so the price and your slot are locked in.
- Confirm one getting-ready address so the travel fee can be set up front.
- Count your final group numbers before booking, since the per-person total scales with heads.
- Mention anything special — particularly sensitive or breakout-prone skin — so prep is sorted in advance.
Is it worth it?
For a once-in-school-life night, professional makeup that’s matched to you and built to last is worth the spend — it photographs better, lasts through every dance, and takes the stress out of the ball morning. From $150 per person with lashes included, it’s a clear, all-in price with no hidden product charges. If your ball date is set, send an enquiry early; the busy mid-year weekends are always the first to book out.
