I say $40. I don't think that $20 is enough for your time and the makeup you'll be using. Plus, lashes are probably about $5... So that would be $15 for your time and makeup application. Just doesn't sound right. Plus $40 is less than Sephora and MAC. I think it's a way to meet halfway.

If you are not a professional I'd say like $20 or $25 anything over that is ridiculous especially if you aren't professional. Plus since it's teens; they probably don't have a lot of money and if they are going to spend more than like $25 they might as well go to someone professional. That's just my opinion.

I would personally only pay someone 20-25$ to do my makeup. Only because it isn't very practical to spend any more. I could go to a beauty counter and have them do it and even buy a few products for that much. That's just my opinion though:)
