Hey all! I'm looking for recommendations if anyone has some. I'm originally from the U.S. but moved to South Korea for work, and since then I've gotten a few blank heads that I would love to get faceups for. However, I've been having a hard time finding faceup artists here; not sure if it's because of the language barrier, or maybe I'm just not searching the right things, etc., so I was wondering if anyone knows any good faceup artists located in South Korea? I'm a little wary of the international postal system so I don't want to go outside of the country if I can help it. If I have to I will; I just wanted to check if anyone had recommendations first. Thanks!
Maybe DollSN? They are a South Korean doll company that does faceup commissions as well. They have several faceup artists on staff and will do faceups for the blank heads you send them. I haven't commissioned them before, but have bought a few of their dolls through their Etsy shop and their customer service is pretty good. They've always been quick to reply to my messages and questions there. Here's the faceup commission page on their English site and here's the faceup commission page on their Etsy.
The wonderful Poppy (Poppymind on Instagram) is in South Korea. Edited to add: Another famous face-up artist is Regnodoll, I can't believe I forgot them.
You should check out CREAM CHEEEZE (@ppimm_jj on Instagram), she speaks English really well, and her work is simply stunning! I have commissioned her twice and she's been very understanding and replied almost immediately, considering the time difference for me. Sairin (@sairindoll) also accepts international commissions and speaks English as well, so commissioning them shouldn't pose a problem. Nuit (@nightnuit) and Rose Pompon (@pompon0123) are also great, though I have never commissioned these artists myself. There are plenty of other amazing artists in Korea, however, I'm not sure if they speak English or are willing to try and communicate using a translator, since that can be quite stressful.
