I had a favorite makeup artist at a nearby MAC. I absolutely adored her and I loved what she could create with my face , Mac products and her skills. Most MAC makeup applications cost $50, at least that was what I was charged at my appointments. I always gave her at least $20. For most service I usually tip 20% if the service is good. And when service is very good then I give more. It all just depends.

My makeup artist has left MAC and gone independent. This reminds me that I had better just check in with her.

When I workedat a spa, ou MUAs got the same kinds of tips as the estheticians and whatnot. (like 20+ percent, or whatever you're used to) If people come to my house - a girl I know does hair at home - I tip the normal amount and if I can afford a little extra, I usually always give a little more for the house call! But I'm usually an overtipper.

I am a makeup artist and while tips are always appreciated, they're not obligatory at all.  I can tell you that most people who do tip, do so in the 15 - 20% range.  For on-location services with individual clients, most MUAs will charge a travel fee or roll it into the cost of the service.
