  Shyla M. asked:

  I have a question can anyone advise me what is an appropriate day rate for an 9 year experienced makeup artist who is just starting in film/television doing majority special fx makeup? I want to make sure that I am not literally working for free when I do all these gigs. Ultimately I am trying to get in the union so please quote me union and non union day rates thank you! I appreciate all advise :)

  To quote Kevin James Bennett "if you feel you not charge on the lower end of the scale of artists in your area, then keep practicing until you are at that level, THEN start booking jobs" undercutting those artists by charging $30 per face then doing work not comparable to theirs hurts everyone. Hurts your rep as a good mua, hurts their rep as charging to much, and also the industry in general when people feel "why did I pay a mua I should have done it myself". Practice on anyone who will let you! Man woman or child!
