>>6305652>I'd rather not post pics because of how bad it looks lolPost anyways. Your first faceup is always shit. ALWAYS. We all know this because we've all been there. Yes, we're going to be harsh, but your next face up will be 100% better if you take the criticism to heart. We're also fair and will tell you like is, unlike most doll forums.
>maybe makeup brushes would be better..?No. Use Q-tips. They're smaller for better detail on small dolls. Also they're disposable. Reusing makeup brushes again & again will get remeant pastel colors in the bristles, no matter how good you clean them. This causes your colors to get muddied. With Q-tips, you can use one for one color, dispose, use another Q-tip for another color. Etc.
>Also, do you need to like.. scrape the pastels first to get it like powderYes, exactly like
>>6307369 described. You can also scrape two different colors & mix to get a custom color, but that's fairly advanced.
>Sorry for all the stupid questions, I have zero experience with this stuffYou haven't mentioned watercolor pencils. Do you have them? They're used to make hard lines, like eyebrows & eyelashes. A must-have if you're doing face ups.
Here's a common MH faceup tutorial. Plenty more on Youtube if you search for them.
