It will be somewhat lighter shade than when you started, so you might have to repeat the process. I only use this process to make my TPE heads have a more natural color. I’ve never attempted darker than a dark shade of pink.
Edit: If it helps, the lipstick and gloss brand I use for this process is Revlon

How did I not see this technique before? I have never used oils.Wheezer wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 12:18 am My current lip method for head rework is to use heat set artists oil paints. Just small dots blended together then hot air to surface melt the TPE and bond/protect the color.
First a dark red for shadows and definition, red for main lips, then a bit of magenta for highlights. Naturally the base/highlight color combination depends on the desired final lip color. When comfortable I use hot air on the TPE until it surface melts/glistens. Spray it with iso alcohol and when dry then a light bit of iridescent white to add some glisten. Heat again to seal and finish with a mist of iso alcohol. I've found that a mist of iso on the hot TPE seems to surface flash set it. It retains its sheen and eliminates stickiness and need for powder there. Even when the face is full powdered the lips still shine.
Below is one I'm working on now and about halfway done on the lips. Left is before lip work, right is current in work. I'm still unsure if I will extend the lipstick to full lips, or let this one retain a visually smaller mouth.
Hope it helps.
Cheers!

Re: How do I repaint my doll lips or make them last longer?
Many folks seem to get fixated on methods of painting their TPE doll to add realism. Then run into all kinds of problems when the paint does bond to the TPE.
Some run in to the problem of clothes staining their TPE. These stains are long lasting and take specific methods to remove.
Others have seen during hot air repairs that contaminants bonded into the hot TPE are quite difficult to remove.
I just decided to combine the last two "problems" to resolve the issue of face and body coloring.
So far it seems to work well.
Cheers!
