Makeup artist woes

Chloe, on September 5, 2019 at 7:37 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 4

So I’ve been searching for a makeup artist for months! I’ve had two trials so far with two separate artists and though they did a good job, it just wasn’t for me. I came across an artist’s page on Instagram recently and love her work from what I see! She works with three other artists under an umbrella group — so I reached out of course! Stupid me, I apparently emailed the group email address not realizing and I honestly thought I had been in contact with the girl who I wanted, but i’ve been speaking with someone else😩.

I went to the other girls page to see her work and since I am a woman of color and so is my bridal party, that is who I look for on anyone’s page. There is maybe 2 spanning the past two years whereas the other girl (who I want) has at least two a month.

I know I should just request the girl who I really want availability BUT I am so awkward about these things lol. I don’t want to offend anyone or come across as being rude or something - I don’t know!! Any suggestions on wording for my response??

    I would just apologize for the confusion and explain that you were looking to get in contact with the other person.

    Hey there, Chloe!

    As they are a collective, I'm sure this isn't the first time they've had someone in contact with the incorrect artist they're interested in. I would be honest and explain you were interested in artist XX and you're sorry for any confusion.

    Try not to overthink it, the fact you're worrying about upsetting someone leads me to believe you couldn't be rude, even if you tried Smiley laugh

    Have you since reached back out to the artist? Let me know if you get everything resolved Smiley smile
