Patience I have! So no worries about that!Tyr wrote:I did this very job yesterday. I used baby oil. Ami's eyelashes were glued on with super glue! I gently rolled and sqeezed the eyelid between my fingers to break up the glue and with a lot of patience, (the job took about an hour) just picked the dried glue off. The baby oil will soften the eyelids. I didn't damage her eyelids at all. The eyes were out at the time and her head was off.
I'll give that a shot since I already have some for my TPE gal in the first place!
Thanks!

The baby oil technique works great. Both top eyelashes off safely in about 30 minutes! Just let the baby oil soak up a little and gently work them off from one side to the other.

Re: Safe eyelash removal?
By far the easiest lashes that I've found to use are the Kiss brand with adhesive already on them.
Just stick them on the lids starting even with the flared end of the lid so that any extra space left is on the inside. Then just paint some of this matte varnish over the band for extra strength...

Re: Safe eyelash removal?
I found some clear adhesive safe for plastics at my walmart. I also browsed a nice section of eyelashes they had right next to the men's deodorant! That worked out nicely. I just pretended to be looking there, when in actuality I was browsing the eye lashes . I found a pair I like and when nobody was around very stealthly slipped them into my shopping basket! They had a little bit of adhesive on the ends and middle but I wanted them more secure. So I cut them to the perfect length, then started on one end and worked my way across. I think they turned out great and I'll have a picture up as soon as my camera batteries get recharged.

-princeoverit. One vendor name kept coming up as being great at helping customers walk through the process, Booty Call Dolls. So I decided I would work with them on this first purchase, and did.
-Just in timeYou could not of found a better person to help you with your first doll. Jeff /Booty call dolls, knows his stuff... One of the few members that is a vendor and a real lover of dolls. He owns quite a few dolls, and really understands the love we all share.
Re: Safe eyelash removal?
Not the greatest pictures I've ever taken! I charged the batteries just long enough to snap a few and get them transferred to my PC!
The only issue I have ever had with face #36 is that the eye sockets seem a bit to wide from top to bottom. It kind of gives a "bug eye" appearance. These eyelids really seem to solve that as you can just have her eyes very partially closed and it gives a much more natural look. For those of you considering MF eyes... Just do it!!!
Check out my thread for some more photos in the future!
And I completely agree with the self checkout thing! I hated them right up to the moment I started buying stuff for my Elise!

Let us know what lash brand and glue you used.
Also, any additional tips you could offer would be helpful for others.

I'm on the waiting list for the eyelids myself, with the same #36 head. Glad to see how beautiful it looks on her.

Re: Safe eyelash removal?
Here's Ami with her new peepers... We're trying out the blue lenses, I'm a little wierded out, she looks so different.
With eyes closed. She does say that she's had the best nights sleep since getting them!
Many thanks to MannequinFan for making such a lovely mod.
