In addition to special dolls - mannequins for practice with makeup and hairstyles, some dolls themselves need makeup. This happens if the doll's makeup has worn off or it was originally purchased without makeup.

Sometimes makeup just doesn't fit, this happens when you buy a doll over the Internet. Cameras and monitor screens do not always reproduce all shades with high accuracy. Therefore, you can be disappointed with the real appearance of the doll, and in order to fix everything, you have to do a new make-up.





Wet wipes will also come in handy to wash off failed makeup, a colorless glossy varnish for finishing makeup, and all sorts of little things. When everything is ready, you can start.

If the doll is bought without makeup, we immediately start painting. If you have old makeup, you need to wipe everything off with nail polish remover. You need to erase not only the makeup itself, but also the colorless varnish to the very base.

After that, the doll is covered with a layer of varnish, which serves as a base coat so that the paint does not stick into the polyurethane. At the same time, it is important to apply the varnish evenly without bubbles and streaks on a perfectly cleaned surface, so that not a single speck of dust gets caught! Keep the can at a distance of 25-35 cm from the doll.



Before applying the varnish, it is best to hold the can for 1-2 minutes under warm water. But be careful not to overheat, otherwise deformation and even rupture of the balloon is possible! Warming up the balloon contributes to a more uniform application of the varnish.

Next, we wait for the varnish to dry completely and start applying makeup. We paint the doll and cover it with varnish, then refine it to perfect condition, drawing all the smallest details under a magnifying glass, and finish with another layer of varnish.

An experienced makeup artist can do with two layers of varnish, and beginners apply a layer of varnish, finalize the makeup, then another layer of varnish, and so on until they are satisfied with the work. Therefore, sometimes it turns out many, many layers of varnish, which is not very good.

In addition to face color, dolls are given body blushing - body makeup. In the process of blushing, the relief of the body is highlighted with color, making the doll even more beautiful. Someone even draws tattoopainting the whole doll.

All of this requires drawing skills or the ability to confidently apply makeup. In addition, special means are required and, most importantly, make-up for dolls is a very harmful activity, because while you learn, you have to breathe in vapors of varnish and nail polish remover many times. But then your dolls will always be beautiful!
