Rates

I have a question for you ladies. I have a photoshoot on Saturday that I'm doing 13 girls makeup AND hair. It's a runway show and all the girls have to be done in 4 hours. I was wondering what you guys would charge? Would you charge by the girl or hourly? I'm doing airbrush on all of them. I use only high end makeup (MAC, MUFE, Smashbox, etc) I dont want to undercharge, but I also want to get paid for my products I'm using as well as my time. PLEASE HELP.

If it were makeup only, the going rate in my area is $500-$600 for 4 hours but since you do hair, I would do like $700-$800. That's crazy that they want you to do all that in 4 hours. That means you are spending less than 20 minutes per girl to do hair AND makeup!
