I noticed that Amethyst's sealant was cracking for a reason I still don't know. It was all around where her eye makeup was and around the top of her nose, and since it didn't seem like I could savage most of her faceup, I ended up wiping her completely blank and started over! I was pretty sad over it, so I've been working on her just about every spare moment I got these past couple of weeks. I was able to finish her new faceup today, though she still hasn't be reassembled since I plan on adding a design to her eyelids! Still, I'm just so happy with her that I couldn't help but want to show her off a bit~ ^^;

Here's the before shot of her original faceup:


And here is her new one:


The colors are much more vibrant on her now, and she has an overall cleaner look, I think. :3 I also think making her lashes purple is a bit more fun. xD This is much closer to what I had in mind for her when I had been working on her first faceup, but since it was my very first time ever doing a faceup and I was still trying to figure things out, it didn't quite turn out as planned. ^^; But, I love her even more now than before and am so excited that I'll be able to put her back together again soon!

Wow, she's gorgeous! Her new faceup is perfect with those eyes!

She looks beautiful, you did a lovely job.

Thank you so much! I do feel like her eyes stand out a bit more with the brighter colors. :3

Thank you for saying so. <3

Wow her faceup is amazing! I love how you gave her an extra pop of colour with the purple liner

Awesome job,she looks gorgeous! I love how her make up compliments her eyes. It also gives ger a softer look which i realy like. Have you decided what sort of wig she will be wearing?

She looks amazing! You did an awesome job on her.

Very nice. I like the colours better now too. Not that Amethyst 1.0 didn't look professional, but Amethyst 2.0 is more so. Your faceup skills are clearly evolving

She is so pretty!!

Her new faceup gives her a softer look. What sealant did you use that cracked?

Thank you so much! :3 I'm glad you like it. ^.^ I tried my best to add as much color as I could to her without it being too overwhelming. x3

Thank you~! I actually plan on using her original wig that she was wearing before. :3



Luckily, I tested it out on her with her new faceup, and it still looks pretty good on her.

Thank you~! ^///^ And yes, I really did love Amethyst the way she was before, but I really am much much happier with her look now. :3 In a way, I guess what happened to her was a blessing, because it gave me a chance to get some more practice in. ^.^

Yeah, I was aiming to make her look a little less harsh. All the black and dark colors around her eyes didn't help with that. ^^; The brighter colors really make a difference. For the sealant, I was using MSC Flat. Since all my other dolls I had used that same can of MSC had not had that issue, I can't help but think that I must have sprayed it on Amethyst under the wrong weather conditions or something without realizing it. That's the only thing I can come up with.

Oh wow! She looks fantastic! well done on the face up

Yay! Thank you~! ^.^


Also..... Amethyst has now been put back together! I just took a quick picture of her. I mainly just wanted a shot showing her eyelids. :3 I felt like she needed something that stuck with the pastel goth theme on her faceup, so I did a melty design on them. I'll take more pictures of her later when it's not so late. ^.^

Whoa! those lids....

Lols! I'm glad you like them! :3 They were fun to paint, and I thought it would kind of make for a neat hidden detail.

And a couple of more pictures of the now new and completed Amy!
