Kaia has the exact same palette from Ammmmzon I used about 4 of them LOL

She also has specific colours from Ebay in larger single compacts for stuff like Black, Red, and Purple, as every Goth girl should have

I just have that eye shadow sampler and this brush set



Again just picked at Amazons recommendation.

Baby oil, baby powder a hairbrush I got from from Poundland and (now) a box of hospital swabs nicked from my cancer care supplies!

Well ... go on then. What do you use?

I've got to pluck up courage to practice my non existent makeup skills too and like Cabbage I'm terrified of making a complete mess of the eyes so I thought I could start with trying to put some freckles on her. I like freckles and I've seen the terrific and very realistic job some of you experienced Dollie Dads have done with freckles and I'd be very grateful if someone could offer advice.

Any replies gratefully received and I promise to post my efforts up regardless!

Thats like saying I'm terrified of making a campfire so I'm going to start off with building nuclear reactor...

I would put freckles in the scarey stuff category. I was more apprehensive about applying freckles than I was doing a finger wire repair! (Really proud of the job now I've done it on two of them but trst me, its not a five min job).

Don't fear the eye makeup. just apply a little, really gently and layer.

Starter eye makeup. barely visible brown under, darker colour over. for starters keep the upper on the upper eyelid, not on the bit between the eyelid and the eyebrow.

Personally I remove their eye's when applying it.

Do the eye's before the cheeks as you need to work down the face to stop yourself from smudging stuff that you have already done.

HTH,

Shamus.

ok, my two with freckles:

Amelie (WM #36)


Maria (Irontech Victoria)


They are more visible in real life than in my poor photographs.

I really need to get my tax return done and accounts sorted out ... so I have spent most of the day working on Alyssa's eyes.

Very patiently I managed to remove the eyelashes (using nail polish remover - acetone) and have removed all the eye shadow apart from a few remnants of black eye-liner. I think this must be what they pt on at the factory as it seems very stubborn.

I have just been using baby oil dabbed on and dabbed off again with surgical swabs (I happen to have a load in the house). Does anyone have any handy hints at any more effective solution using regular household items or do I just keep at it?

I'll do the accounts tomorrow.

With surgical swabs, you may find you get bits of cotton being left behind.

I use a sponge, cut into 30x20x10mm pieces, which can be laundered and reused.

DON'T use sponges with acetone though, but for cleaning off makeup, the oil+sponge combination works just fine.
