. . .So I redid Cici again because her previous faceup got chipped but along with that I had a mental health spiral so it took a couple months for me to at least be stable. I'm gonna try to do a photoshoot but that may take a bit.

#AHHHH I'm gonna have to update her DOA profile.#Sko Speaks

Reshelling + Improvement over one year

The makeup is more or less the same look: Pinkish-Red around the eyes and along bridge of the nose, heavy black eyeliner, and black lips.

The execution has changed: Mr. Super Clear instead of Testor’s Dullcote, eyeliner and lashes on newest version were done with gouache rather than watercolor pencil, custom blend of pastels (ochre, grey, and brown) in order to achieve a blonder brow with grey and olive watercolor pencil with white gouache for highlighting, eyeshadow is done lightly in multiple layers as opposed to stacking it on in three layers and magenta micro-glitter is applied for shimmer, the newest version has more blushing on cheeks and forehead, and lipstick is done in many layers with black gauche lines for detail. Finally, the newest version has 3-D eyelashes, isn’t dressed in literal rags, has body blushing, and has a much more convincing wig which was rather affordable.

What I learned: Working in several smaller layers makes for a smoother effect, stacking on colors will make your doll look muddy, gauche isn’t your enemy and is a very forgiving paint, unless your watercolor pencils are absolutely silky smooth don’t rely on them too much or you’ll end up with a rough finish, blending out is very important, invest in kneaded and mechanical erasers, Tamiya gloss is worth it, USE REFERENCES AND WATCH MAKEUP TUTORIALS!!!!, and finally, there’s nothing wrong with wiping away your work and trying again.
