I see that you've discovered the benefits of getting Adara snuggled up in a soft thick wooly jumper. :D
I agree, it makes cuddling 10x better. :thumbs_up:

Nice pink jumper and the tight white jeans look great on her too. :thumbs_up:

Hi Adelea, Your Adara is looking good, :angel: very nice photos. :thumbs_up:
As Arthur and djcdoll have pointed out, makeup on TPE is most difficult to get right. You are off to a great start though IMO. The best advice I can offer you is to study Mishka1965's tutorial on makeup Here. It's where I got started doing makeup on my gals.
Keep up the great work!
Cheers.

djcdoll - very much, the soft jumped did mean that I didnt get much done that day, instead I spent it cuddled up with Adara and catching up on some reading on the Kindle! As far as days go, that was a very pleasant one indeed!

mfi - thanks. I like the way she looks :) And the 2nd makeup attempt was a lot better than the first - maybe because I kept it simpler and to a single colour. Will need to try this whole colour blending thing again another day.

So a few weeks ago I got my piles of 'tested' and 'untested' clothes mixed up, and put Adara in something that I shouldn't have.

I bought some of Indigo's stain remover from DollStudio to see how well it would work:

The top picture is how it was, the middle with the remover applied, and the bottom is how it looked this morning (after washing the cream off last night).

I am very impressed with the results - there is still some slight staining on her left side, but I am hoping that another application there when I do her back will clear that up a bit more.

That's pretty good results adelea. :thumbs_up:
Looks like the stains have all been removed from her.

With my Tiffany, the only garment that I've had a stain problem was with a cheap black plastic catsuit that I got off eBay a few months back.
I took some precautions first by putting beige tights on Tiffany and also old beige stockings on her arms.
She was about 90% covered but the areas that I missed did get black stains, mainly around her neck.
It took a while for the stains to go, repeated washing and baby oiling etc...

It's a shame because she did look pretty sexy in the catsuit with high heeled boots! ha ha. :mrgreen:

When you want colours to stick - like on lips, they seem to come off at the slightest touch, but when you dont, they stain instantly and are a bugger to remove!

I normally test all clothing by leaving it pressed up against an insert for 24h, so I was really upset when I made this mistake.

Still, lesson learned I guess, and safe/unsafe clothing is now kept in separate rooms and never the twain shall meet!

Catsuit and boots eh, (showing my age a bit here), sort of like Emma Peel from The Avengers! Or I guess, a more modern reference, Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow.

Yes the catsuit and boots was a bit kinky! We had great fun with Tiffany's boobs and the catsuit zipper. There's an animated GIF off the boob/zipper fun on her thread! Ha ha. :lol:

Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow would make a great "Model Shots" attempt. You've got me thinking now. Hmmmmmmm. :whistle:

Adara certainly does it for me, she can press all my buttons, all at the same time!

My cat is mostly indifferent to Adara. Though I have caught her napping on her chest more than once.

When I took that picture, Abigail was staring right at Adara - it was only when I moved to pick up my camera that she turned to look at me. I think she knows she is a pretty cat, and she is a people cat too, so whenever anyones comes over she is right in their face looking for some attention :)

Just impeccable work on the hair, makeup, clothes, shoes, etc.
Attention to all those details make all the difference.
Adara looks heavenly.

As I prepare to make my first doll purchase, I am slowly ascending the learning curve so it is good to know that Mishka1965 has a tutorial on makeup as I would like to follow in your footsteps!

TY for sharing adelea.

I've added another 3 pairs of heels to the collection now!

Not had much of a chance to dress her up lately -- have been spending a lot of time applying stain remover! She is now nearly 100% stain free, at least I dont see anymore.

So hopefully tomorrow we can play dressup a bit!

And yeah the sports bra makes them look a lot bigger - they are plenty big enough as it stands though!

Best laid plans, and all that!

I had intended to do some pictures of a secretary/croupier style outfit, but I think all the horizontal exercise she is getting has done something to her things - zipping up the skirt, and it ripped - not on a seam, but in the middle - so not really repairable.

So, a quick dig through her clothes drawer, and I found this nice white summery dress.

I could look at that little patch of skin above the stocking tops all day long!

I just love the way heels look when are being worn...
