Here's a handy dandy eye removal tool anyone can make from a paper clip. Idea courtesy of Allottahope. Usually it gets the eye and all the cotton in one fell swoop with minimal chance of eyelash damage.

Yep, I made that for Kwench a while back. It's made out of silicone with a pipe cleaner inside. Should have used 2 to overcome the silicone and be more poseable. Yeah, a silicone tongue on a TPE doll. It's all good. Just used it for pics and took it out.

So I received my MF eyes a few weeks ago and finally had time to play with them. I just wanted to share how thrilled I am with this upgrade! I cannot believe how much life it adds to my Sukiwaai! In my opinion, the best things about these eyes are 1) getting rid of the f*&@ing cotton - which means that my dolls eyes are always equally set into the head (no more one eye pooching, endlessly adjusting depth, etc.; 2) they are super easy to move and align with one another; 3) The eyelids add so much feeling and capacity for expression that its almost like owning an entirely new doll. I love being able to fully close them and setting a little half lid makes Sukiwaai look that much more sultry. I could seriously rave about these for ages, but instead I'll just say: everyone who owns a doll NEEDS a set of these.

Thank you so much MF!

Now for some photos

WOW!
Fantastic photos Adventurer, and thanks for the kind words!
Love this shot...

I love how you were able to keep the makeup simple but with stunning results.
Any tips you can give would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks MF! That means a lot coming from you. My trick is to rarely if ever fully remove old makeup - I like to leave a little of the old behind to give the skin a more uneven appearance, which is slightly more lifelike in my opinion. Other than that, I use multiple colors of blush on lips, tongue, cheeks etc. Mostly though, I have to give credit to my camera - a Nikon D750 that just rocks in low light. The camera does most of the work really

Hey Adventurer, thanks for the info and keep those great pics coming!

For a while now I've been making some minor refinements to the eyelid design.
Instead of having two different sizes for the factory eyes and my eyes, I've just made the one for my eyes slightly larger diameter so they will fit the factory eyes more closely. There's hardly any noticeable difference with the Easy Moves so it just didn't make sense to keep having two sizes.

After seeing the fine work done by VonRubber and others, I've reduced the size of the lash mount and angled it down a little to help minimize the appearance.
