Sasha's Makeover
Giving Sasha a makeover was something I put on my New Year's Resolution list, and I thought I would share it, firstly so you can see I've done it, and secondly because I thought it might be helpful to newbies.
Sasha as he was before I started. Carefully removing his eyelashes with tweezers. I tease the lash off the TPE with one pair of tweezers holding the lash and another pair holding the skin so it doesn't tear. Obviously I can't demonstrate that in the photo, not enough hands! I removed his eyes so I wouldn't get glue on them or anything else, then removed all of his makeup with a combination of baby wipes with baby oil on, and cotton buds dipped in oil to get the smaller areas. A clean pallet. After leaving for half an hour for the baby oil to soak in, I applied cornflour with a large soft brush. I use baby powder on the bodies, but Adam gave me the tip that cornflour makes the face feel soft and silky so I switched, and this has a much nicer finish. Eyelashes - the upper ones, longish and bushy (Primark special), and the lower sparse ones which I find are brilliant, particularly for guys (obtained from the Doll House), plus Loctite Superglue gel for application. One of the lower ones on. I applied the glue a tiny bit at a time on the end of a cocktail stick, held the lash with tweezers, and gently pressed on. Upper lash in place. All lashes applied. I'll continue this later. I was doing this in my lunch break from work and need much longer than an hour! Plus, there will more photos than I can get in one post, so watch this space for the rest of the makeover

Here's Part 2.
First, I put his eyes back in so he can see what I'm doing and choose the colours he wants This is the makeup I have for my dolls. A large pallet and a smaller one of powder eyeshadows and a powder blusher set. Sasha likes makeup. Think 90s glam rock - Motley Crue and the like. First, eyeliner. This is applied with a fine brush dipped in baby oil, using black eyeshadow powder for the colour. Eyeshadow next. We're going for purple with a bit of a sparkle. Again, eyeshadow powder applied with an oily brush - a thicker brush to cover the eyelids. Remember, if you smudge it or decide you don't like it and want to start again, it comes off easily with a cotton bud dipped in oil. Both eyes done. Lips next. I'm mixing a pink blush and a beige one, again with the thicker brush dipped in oil. I have to work carefully around his lip ring because it's a real piercing and you can get colour leaching around the hole if you're not careful. Done! Last job is his eyebrows. The really fine brush again, a dip in the oil, and a medium brown eyeshadow powder. Then draw them on so they look hairy. It takes some practise, but I did both Sihtric's and Rachel's brows over Christmas and am pretty pleased with them all. I even managed to get both brows quite even, without a stencil! My trick, work on the right hand one first (or the left if you're left-handed). Then turn the head upside down and work on the other from the opposite direction. It works for me. I just have the doll's head resting on a towel on my lap. Wig back on, and he's ready for a photoshoot I plan to do over the weekend, which will be his last one before he gets his new body in a couple of months
