Is it better to be a person that calls on others to do things for you or not?

I can't seem to work this out.
For example I have learned how to do my makeup. I do know someone who is a makeup artist but it's never really occured to me to call her to ask her to do my makeup. Especially as I've never had a big function to attend that would require a more professional look.

Would it be better to call on her?

I have witnessed other people do this but lines sometimes get blurred in regards to a payment.

Am I thinking too hard into this or should I just be open to forking out to help them out.

Is this why I don't really have friend's?
