Wayment—$13k for makeup and hair?

The estimated cost of the royal wedding is in, and social media is losing it!

The estimated total is a long list including the venue, catering, cake, floristry, the wedding dress, and security which, cost a whopping $35.8 million.

While many are in shock over the mega expense of the royal affair, one price tag is standing out above all others: the cost of beauty! 

Turns out, although Meghan chose to keep her makeup simple to show off her signature freckles and her hair in a messy bun, the total price of hair and makeup was $13,895.

When these numbers were released, Twitter exploded with thoughts about the beauty expense, including many who felt the royal family was overcharged. 

TBH: While indeed the pricing is high for an average wedding, this is a royal wedding. It was not just the bride’s makeup and hair that was done, the entire wedding party used the glam squad!

Something to keep in consideration.
