Making the best of Julia
 

Hi,

Julia is a bit "miserable" looking sometimes. She has asked me whether any of the experts on the forum have a view as to how she can make the best of herself.

Here are a couple of examples.

To my untrained eyes the second makes her look "better".

To me, in the first her open mouth is ok but looks much better at an upward angle.

I suspect her eyelashes and eyelids look heavy in the first photo. Perhaps not helped by the downward angle the lashes help create.

Any gentle suggestions (so as not to upset her) are invited.

And with eyes hidden

Hi Tex.

Shes beautiful as she is, but I understand the lack of her smile on occasion. I can introduce her to faceapp if you wish....


Want me to look at those above?

I don't think that its anything so complex.... You forgot to buy her an Easter egg didn't you!

Off to the shop with you now (if you can find one thats open) and put a smile back on the poor lasses face.

Shamus.

That would be interesting to see. Please feel free to use any Julia images that will show what can be done and perhaps where she might be "cheered up".

Damn, you would suggest that great idea today of all days!

Well, I think she looks lovely. To the point, if her eyelashes were curled up more at the corners of her eyes, that would give a more happy look. Maybe lightening the eyeshadow between her eyebrow and eyelid or changing its angular shape to something that blends out softer, especially at the corners of her eyes. Possibly only having eyeshadow on her eyelids?

Thank you, this is the sort of excellent help she was hoping for.
There is a painted dark eyeshadow and eyelids, apart from anything i helped her to put on. I will have a chat with her to see if we can hide it with something lighter.

I have a feeling the existing eyelashes will have to come off (they have tried several times already) and start afresh with something that curls up more to show a little more of her eyes.

You are certainly right that lightening that area will make her look more of a happy bunny (note the Easter reference:))

Don't tell and cruelty organisations but i have taken her tongue out (it just sat in her mouth) so her mouth will naturally close a bit more.

Eyebrows indicate a deep frown, particularly in the first of those two photos.

Oh, and move those eyes! :rulez

The eyes are the windows of the soul...

The first pic... The outer corner of the eyes look lower.. The 2nd pic you obviously changed camera angle and she looks happier. I remember when i first got skye she always looked pissed off. They cant change their expression so we have to do it for them and when you get it just right its a lovely feeling
