Putting On Makeup - What kind? Factory Makeup Questions...

Noob1970 · Post by **Noob1970** » Fri Jun 12, 2020 7:47 am

As waiting mode continues for my 145 D with face 145-2, I'm constantly reading threads on this great forum. I appreciate all of your wisdom and experience!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but she'll arrive to me with factory makeup? (which is a nice clean look IMO)
Is there also the possibility of requesting a different style of factory makeup? Has anyone here done that before? If so what is the process for that?
The only reason I might be interested in something like that is because I have no idea how to apply makeup myself...

I'm also open to learning how to apply makeup at some point.
What kind is safe for a silicone face? Any decent video tutorials out the for beginners? And what is best to use for makeup removal that won't jeopardize the factory makeup underneath?

As always, much gratitude to all of you and to Mike who has been helpful throughout!

There are plenty of threads and tutorials that address this topic.
She will arrive with factory makeup unless you request otherwise.
I requested one arrive without makeup because I was going to change it anyway.
Given you're probably spending 2k for the doll, I would certainly ask for (demand) a custom makeup job.
Worst they can say is no. Then you could learn how to or outsource the job.

As far as learning to do makeup,
I'll point you to this thread because it contains a link to Mishka1965's make up tutorial on YT and my most recent comment about doing makeup on Silicon dolls.

As you can see, Mishka1965 is the go to for makeup questions. You might want to shoot him a PM.
Also shoot Serge a PM because he is very experienced with doing makeup on Sanhui's and does a fantastic job.

I use powder makeup for all mine. I hate liquid anything but that's my personal preference.
All of these dolls are Sanhui's and were done with powder eyeshadow.

Good luck.

Thanks Endless War!
I've noticed your work over the past week or two. And I've creeped onto your instagram page. Exquisite work!
Oasis is beyond enchanting...
Do you happen to know any artists in the NYC area that you would deem worthy of recommending?

I use powder also.
Use powder by itself for temporary makeup.

Use powder with silicone and mineral spirits, it makes a paint for permanent makeup.
There is more to it than that, but that is the basic premise.

Did my ladies lips temporary for a year before I decided to go permanent with it.
I think she turned out well.
