Aesthetics Finished faceup. Gem of Doll Ares

Very nice! Good color choices and cleanly done. The lips in particular look really fantastic!

I think the cheek blush is a little too strong, especially next to the nose which is so stark by comparison. It also makes her face a completely different color than her neck and forehead (which is covered by bangs so I guess that doesn't especially matter). However I think the eyebrows are what need the most work. Your technique is good- but the shape is a little off, and they're kind of high. The curve of these eyebrows is almost exactly parallel to the curve of the eyelid... which isn't how eyebrows really are. Of course there are some people with unusual eyebrow shapes, but the fast majority of eyebrows are lower/closer to the eye in the center of the face, and higher/farther from the eye near the outside of the face. It might seem like if you do that then your doll will look angry, but if you look at some photos of people with neutral expressions you'll see the shape I'm talking about.

Anyways, overall it's a really good faceup! You've already mastered one of the hardest parts- not making a mess. So many people struggle with their pastels looking splotchy, but yours are so smooth with perfect blending. Oh and if you think of it, you may want to invest in some higher quality eyelashes. They taper at the ends and look so nice and delicate, I think the quality of your faceup deserves it.

 

Very nice. The mouth is truly lovely. I like the palette of the finished face very much, and the combination of the silver wig and pupilless gray eyes is lovely and otherworldly.

The eyebrows are always the tricky bit. I put the first layer on in pastel, use a kneadable gray eraser to refine the shape, put on a layer of sealer, let it dry, and then do a tiny bit of detail work with a 10/0 brush and Golden brand air brush acrylic, and add flow release to make the paint nice and thin.

This is a very beautiful faceup. Great job!

 

Very, very beautiful job! Perfect lips! You are so talented!

I recommend having the eyelash color closer to the eyebrow color. (doesn't have to match exactly)
A lot of blush is fine. I'd like to see even just a little blush on the ears, neck and hands for a coherent look. You could suggest neck structure with blush. Maybe some blush in the nostrils.

Very impressive work!

 

Very nice I really like the lips

 

You did a great job on the lips and color choices!

 

lovely!

 

Very well done face up if I may say so! I greatly enjoy how you painted the lips, they make for a good contrast to the minimal eye make up

 

The lips are really well done! Maybe the eyebrows are a lil bit too high (i have the same problem with my makeup...)
