See, and I think it's fine to provide that and let them know how much it costs in case they want it.

I think that whether it's rude or not depends on whether the bride is requiring them to have professional make-up and asking them to pay for it. Making it available and optional is not rude. I think requiring it and asking them to pay for it is rude.
