The first thing you need to do is remove the old faceup.
I use Acetone nailpolish remover and cotton balls.
As soon as the faceup is removed, I rinse the face with warm water, to make sure there is no acetone residue left behind.
After I dab the cottonball in the acetone, I squeeze it out. You want to make sure the cottonball is not dripping with too much acetone, otherwise it will drip down the doll and possibly stain the clothes.
I may have bought this set primarily for Maleficent, but I paid 10 quid in import duty for them both, so I was damned if I was leaving Sleeping Beauty herself to languish in a box...
It almost feels like 'too little, too late' with Mattel's Signature series. There are some great new head sculpts - but then they all have the same, stiff arms and (at least these two) completely unjointed legs! Monster/Ever After High and the Fashionista/Style series have shown us that Mattel can make some brilliant articulated bodies - I just don't understand why they wouldn't try and use some of that for these dolls - which are supposed to be some sort of premium range, after all.
As for the repaint - I went for a side-glance (because I usually do), and a sort of doe-eyed, Veronica Lake-esque face; she always strikes me as looking half asleep even when she isn't under the spell. I refrained from rooted lashes/gloss varnish this time because I wanted her to have the rather stylised, flat appearance of the movie art direction (which is genius, by the way).
So I decided to Repaint my Meygana's lips with this cute pink color I bought from Michael's
so tell me, yay or nay?
A recent repaint into the new livery is 27602, seen here on Ellon Road at the former AECC now a church on the X60.
The latest E500 to re-enter service following repaint is 38213, latterly unbranded in Olympia. Sister 38205 has already been done and is ready for return from Caledonia.
38213 is seen here on Union Street on the Bridges 1 for Garthdee.
I got her on sale a couple of weeks back and i was always intrigued by this sculpt- androgynous and strong, which upon arrival , it confirmed all my expectations. the sculpt is surprisingly detailed and easy to work with though quite ginormous lols. She is wearing a leatherette empire gown, with shoulder sculpture details and a filigree headpiece all inspired by Cherlize on Snow White and the Huntsman.

She just arrived yesterday (Thanks Michaela!) and today i just couldnt resist doing her repaint. While she was in transit, i was planning on using berries and nudes for color, though i would still have to see her skin tone if it will work. and it did. Now she's my african queen, and cant wait for her to be my fitter. :D
These 2012 trucks are all getting repainted in the last year. Only 2 left 358 and 309 of the 10 or so Bridgeport bodies
I nearly finished a repaint I was working on since longer, my Marilyn OOAK doll. I didn´t want her to look like a sexbomb, but to have a vulnerable and sweet expression, like she was captured on many photos made by Milton Green.
Still don´t know which outfit to make for her. any suggestions?

This celebrity doll repaint was inspired by Julie Andrews' classic Disney character of Mary Poppins.
I used a 16-inch Mary Poppins doll here produced by Robert Tonner Doll company - a very nicely made facial sculpt but the facial paint left much to be desired. So, I completely removed factory facial painting and hand painted it to more faithfully replicate Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins. The doll's hair has been extensively restyled to more accurately represent the character's hairstyle from the movie.
Repaint is a new form of pop art, wherein the doll's face is treated like a three dimensional canvas, with the added challenge of painting within a very small area . Since dolls are basically miniature pieces, brush strokes and shading have to be very controlled and precise.
-- acrylic paint and ultra fine brushes

She's available, check my profile for info.
So here’s Lammily. She puts me in the mind of a snobby hipster that’s probably done everything you have, only sooner and more expensively.
I carved her lips to get the weird flat expression off her face. I boiled her hair to get it to lay down flatter (instead of the just rooted mad scientist look she had going on). I also carved down her weird toe-thumbs. They were two times thicker than the rest of her fingers and just made her hands look really, really awkward.
She’ll arrive with her default clothing in her original box (which has a bit of a tear, it was awkward to open). She fits YOSD size pants perfectly and Ken shirts are a good size for her, too, as well as Ken shoes.
Remodel, Week 16
Last up for today, my promised new “wide view” of the exterior post-repaint (even if it’s not as great as the one I posted at the start of this photoset yesterday afternoon, haha!). l_dawg2000 reports that there’s still one tiny portion at the rear of the building that still remains brown, but otherwise, the entire rest of the building was complete as of last weekend. Let me know what you think of the new look in the comments below!
Separately, I’m just now noticing it appears that the blue services sign to the left of the entrance has been removed after all… I figured it wasn’t going to last too much longer in its current state, what with “digital photo” still on there long after the photo center had closed down, but I wasn’t expecting the entire sign to disappear! Maybe it’ll wind up returning later, though; I’ll have to keep an eye on that. Likewise, I’ll continue to keep an eye on all the rest of the remodel progress, and bring you another update in a few weeks or so…! :)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
With all the business that is the prom season, i fainally had some down time today and started playing with dolls again, and condition myself for the upcoming weeks to fill in some commissions... Im lucky to have this doll as a gift for christmas and its just now that i get to play with it. I repainted her with neutrals, doey eyes, thick lashes and brows, almost having that androgynous feel.
Am I ever out of practice painting the vinyls! LOL! In my defense it HAS been a good...4 years now at least since I painted something like this. It was fun though!
I'm a little late in the game as far as Face App goes, but discovered it over the holiday and thought I'd play with repaints and actual photos to see how close it really was or can be to what someone looks like younger, older or even as the opposite gender. Of course I ventured into Charlie's Angels realm and couldn't resist to see Cheryl Ladd, Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith and Kate as what their younger selves might have looked like.
Here are two graphics playing with this app.
This one features repainted and restyled (in some cases with hair added) by artist Noel Cruz of www.ncruz.com using the face app with only the child filter on the original photo by stevemckinnis.com.
