<human>: I am getting married Columbus Day weekend, when I booked 10/11/14 I didn't realize it was a holiday weekend which meant a lot of other weddings! I searched for a while for an available makeup artist in my budget. I was recommended to a woman who had been out of the business for awhile because her child was sick and was constantly in the hospital. She was starting her business back up. She had a good portfolio, she was in my price range, and I figured "I'd like her to get the money compared to a salon". She gave me a flat rate of $35 and it would be an extra $15 for the photo finish. My girls only needed the flat rate. I confirmed with her several times that that meant full makeup. Well, suddenly I wasn't getting replies from the girl, I was having to remind her of many things. It was frustrating but I sucked it up. 

Then we got a contract which was worded in a strange way then said it was $45 per person but we all got a discount...That didn't make any sense. So my mother called and emailed her, no reply for over a week. Then late last night she got an email from the makeup artist saying the flat rate is just for primer, concealer, and mascara. That wasn't correct at all after we discussed this on multiple occasions. Basically, I am done with this girl! I have to give up the $45 deposit and deal with looking for a new makeup artist with five months to go. Anyone in the upstate NY area-particularly the Capital Region- can you please recommend me someone? I have exhausted my searches on WeddingWire and the Knot and really need word of mouth right now. I'll take newbies too! As long as they have a good work ethic and I can trust them!

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Had to fire my makeup artist today. Please make recommendations for Upstate NY! I've contacted everyone on WeddingWire and The Knot.
