The Customizing of Fuuka.

Last night, I decided to go for it and customize Fuuka (my Super Dollfie New Makeup Rio). I had been putting it off for a while, because her original face paint was pretty cute (waaaaay better than the old standard SD makeup!) and I didn't want to mess her up, but she was starting to look washed out to me. Also, I almost felt like she wasn't really mine because I didn't have a hand in making up her face. Soo.....I popped off her head and went to work.

It wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought, though her eyelashes were harder to put in than Miyako's. I was originally going to leave her lip color as is, but I wanted to give her features more definition.

Big thanks for Kristen for taking Fuuka's head off for me, helping me make up her eyes, and....(the big thing) putting her lungs on the line to coat Fuuka's face! I think that Fuuka looks a lot cuter now that she's customized, but I can't give myself a lot of credit. I think that SDs look better if you don't fuss over their makeup. Most of the time, it's better to give your doll a look that matches a lot of different wigs and outfits. ^_^....even if it does look plain compared to some of the more glamorous SDs...

I gave Tallina's wax a try when I put Fuuka's eyes back in. That stuff is SWEET! ^o ^ I had been using Miyako's eye putty for the longest time, and I had to keep reaching into her head and fixing her eyes. I should just throw that crap out. It's always turning up on the rug in my room, anyway....:P

La la laaaaa.....

I have a confession to make. Here goes.........I used Shu Uemura eyelashes in Fuuka. They cost $10 a pair! O_O They were the only ones I liked! I figured that if I tried to get the Volks ones they'd end up costing more in the long run....sigh......they're lovely lashes, anyway. They feel just like mine ^O^!

I have so many 1/6 scale dolls to repaint it isn't even funny. They're taking over my room! I'm going to have to sell off some of my less-loved Jenny dolls in order to keep myself from being smothered. Ciao!
