Aesthetics First Face-up! [SWITCH Hyul Final]

Hello everyone! I have been meaning to give my two floating heads face-ups, so I decided to go with my female head first because I thought it would be similar to applying make-up. I do not have a practice head so I basically used a "learn as I go" approach. I rarely use pastels but the learning curve wasn't too hard! Wait times after using the sealant spray were about 30 minutes long.
A good amount of time was spent on the eyebrow shape, blush, and eyeliner because I wanted it to be perfect. The eyeshadow and lips were by far the easiest to do. The sculpt does not show too much of the eyes, so I wanted to emphasize the eye make-up a bit. I aimed for warm peach, orange, and coral hues, which are my favorite! I put the micropearl shimmer powder on the eyeshadow and cheeks for some highlight. She has fairly light eyebrows since she will have a very light hair color (and I'm not a fan of the light hair/dark eyebrow look).
Sadly, I do not have the wig and eyes I intend for her to wear, so she is eyeless and wearing a black wig I am saving for an incoming doll. I plan on giving her a long, white-blonde wig with deep red-magenta eyes.

Tools used: Mr.Hobby Super Clear UV Cut Flat Spray, soft pastels, gouache paint, watercolour pencils, acrylic gloss, tacky glue, micropearl shimmer powder

I turned on my easy-listening music and this is the final result!





I like how she turned out and I am excited to do another face-up and more to come! Time to get a body ASAP! She looks very nice in black hair but I determined that she would be blonde before the face-up because I knew I would lean towards a darker color if I did not plan ahead. These pictures were taken with my cell phone, so I apologize for any low quality.

Thank you for reading!

 

Thank you for the kind words! I am hoping the dark eyeliner and eyelashes will pop out even more with a lighter wig and vibrant eyes. My hands got a bit shaky when I was working on the eyeliner (I messed up several times) and putting on the eyelashes so I do understand that frustration!

 

Thank you both!

 

Thank you! I was concerned that the shimmer powder may be too big and look too shiny before I actually used it. Luckily, that was not the case. I was debating between regular pearl and micropearl so I am glad I went with micropearl!

 

Thanks! I am glad I considered the shimmer powder. I was able to add just the right amount of highlight with it.

Thank you so much! I really wanted to go for a soft look since it was my first face-up.

Thank you! I am a huge fan of SWITCH dolls as well. I would collect them all if I could.
