Daily makeup with hair cost 120,000 won and was tailored to the writer’s outfit and overall vibe without reference photos. Verdict: a satisfying choice for looking polished for a wedding or important occasion. ## Good to know - **Daily makeup and hair**: ₩120,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* ![Today Makeup wedding guest makeup feature photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-01-wv3mp-1200.webp) Whenever I have a wedding to attend, I end up debating whether to do my own makeup or book a studio. This time, I booked a makeup studio in Hongdae without a second thought. It was the wedding of someone from my old company before I changed jobs, so I was going to see loads of former coworkers for the first time in ages—and, more importantly, I heard some people I’m not particularly fond of would be there too, haha. > So there was no way I could just show up looking thrown together. ![Makeup prepared for attending a wedding as a guest](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-02-5qevt-900.webp) ![Wedding guest makeup preparation](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-03-1ys0q-900.webp) ![Preparing a dressy wedding guest look](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-04-1t7cb-900.webp) Since I had prepared a slightly dressier outfit than usual, I decided to get my hair done properly too and booked Today Makeup near Hongik University Station. ## How much is daily makeup at Today Makeup? ![Today Makeup daily makeup information](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-05-1kex1-900.webp) ![Today Makeup daily makeup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-06-t90g3-900.webp) ![Makeup service including hair styling](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-07-15x6s-900.webp) I got the daily makeup service, which cost ₩120,000. That price includes hair as well as makeup, so it was great for getting ready all at once on a day when I wanted to put in a little more effort than usual, like attending a wedding. When I made my Hongdae makeup appointment, I didn’t go in with a super-specific style in mind. I just said, “It’s wedding guest makeup, and I’m wearing something a little dressy today,” then asked them to take care of the rest based on my face and overall vibe. Honestly, every time I go to a makeup studio, I wonder whether I should bring photos beforehand, but I prefer having a professional look at my face and choose what suits me rather than explaining every tiny detail of what I want. > I said, “Please take care of it,” and they really did take care of it beautifully. That was what I liked most about this Hongdae makeup studio. I didn’t have to make all sorts of requests; they naturally matched everything to my outfit and the overall mood, which was so easy. ![Makeup matched to the outfit and overall vibe](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-08-6ybou-900.webp) ![Wedding guest makeup left to a professional](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-09-7vwmq-900.webp) It wasn’t excessively glamorous just because I was a wedding guest, but it also wasn’t as plain as my everyday makeup. It was exactly the kind of look that said, “I made an effort today.” ![Wedding guest makeup that is not overdone](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-10-1i921-900.webp) ![Wedding guest makeup with a polished feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-11-1uqca-899.webp) Especially since I wore something dressy, I think the overall balance would have been off if my face had looked too ordinary. Getting my hair done too really made the finished look feel different. ![Dressy outfit with hair and makeup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-12-j6ss5-900.webp) ![Hair and makeup done together](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-13-1kryp-798.webp) ![Hair and makeup for a wedding guest look](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-14-bi3jk-900.webp) They also chose a hairstyle to suit my outfit and makeup—perfectly, without me needing to say much! They lightly tied it back so the tie wasn’t visible, and that was such a smart move. My hair stayed in place all day and it was so comfortable! If I had done my own makeup, I would have been frazzled before the wedding trying to get dressed, do my hair, and put on makeup. I just had to sit there and leave it to them, and I thought, ah, this is why people come to studios on days with important plans, haha. ## My former coworkers’ reactions were the best part ![Completed look for attending a wedding](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-15-1jgb7-900.webp) ![Makeup on the day of meeting former coworkers](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-16-1qt3e-900.webp) And then came the moment when I really felt this Hongdae makeup appointment had been worth it! When I arrived at the wedding venue and met my former coworkers for the first time in ages, everyone immediately told me I looked so pretty. If only one person had said it, I might have thought it was just politeness, but hearing it from several people made me so happy, haha. Since they were people who had seen my face a lot in everyday life, I think they noticed the difference even more on a day when I had professional makeup. > I guess you really do need a professional’s touch on important days... Ah, I love it so much, hehe. ## The reason I got so dressed up was a little anticlimactic, though, haha Actually, there was another reason I went all out and booked a Hongdae makeup studio that day. I had heard that three people I’m not very fond of were coming, haha. It was going to be a reunion after a long time, and naturally I wanted to show up looking my very best... You know what I mean, right? Haha. So I put on a dressier outfit than usual, got my hair and makeup fully done, and went to the wedding. In the end, only one of those three people came. A little disappointing(?) haha. Still, all my former coworkers I hadn’t seen in ages told me I looked pretty, so it was a very satisfying choice in the end. ## Today Makeup was a satisfying choice for wedding guest makeup ![Today Makeup wedding guest makeup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-17-7o45y-832.webp) I do my own makeup normally, but on days like weddings or important appointments, when I’ll be taking lots of photos and seeing lots of people, professional makeup really does make a difference. ![Professional makeup before an important appointment](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-18-1110i-900.webp) ![Wedding guest makeup before a photo shoot](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-19-469tu-900.webp) ![Makeup for a day of meeting many people](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-20-10r7n-900.webp) This time especially, my favorite part was that they created a naturally flattering style even though I hadn’t prepared a makeup reference photo; I only told them about the occasion and what I was wearing. ![Makeup matched to the occasion and outfit](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-21-1kp6r-900.webp) ![Wedding guest look entrusted without reference photos](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-22-15trb-900.webp) At ₩120,000 including hair, it isn’t a price I could pay every time without thinking about it, but I would use them again for a day when I really want to dress up properly, such as a wedding or a photo shoot! ![Cost of makeup including hair styling](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-23-my43g-900.webp) ![Styling for a wedding and photo shoot](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup-24-1hbty-900.webp) If you’re looking into makeup in Hongdae near Hongik University Station, or if, like me, you prefer leaving things somewhat to a professional instead of defining your desired style in detail, Today Makeup was a good option. More than anything, I think all the compliments I got that day speak for the result, haha. If another important wedding comes up, or someone I absolutely need to look pretty in front of attends(?), I think I’ll book a Hongdae makeup studio first. Only one of the three came this time, so please let them all come next time, haha. ## Where it is - Today Makeup (오늘메이크업) (오늘메이크업) - 26-8 World Cup buk-ro 1-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 월드컵북로1길 26-8 2층 - 37.5549771, 126.9196152 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EB%8A%98%EB%A9%94%EC%9D%B4%ED%81%AC%EC%97%85/@37.5549771,126.9196152,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@pocket-palette-seoul/hongdae-wedding-guest-makeup/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
