Vanessa Got a Face-up!

Last Tuesday I gave both my Impldoll super model Vanessa and my Impldoll Idol Azalea face-ups. I spend almost 4 hours working on the girls. Azalea with a very natural and simple face-up took me a royal 30 minutes, whereas I spent the best part of the 3 hours on this girl here. I have yet to photograph Azalea, but Vanessa already got her first photo session and here are the results.

For the first time ever, with Vanessa, I had a sculpt in my hands where my usual tricks did not work at all. Hehe! I had to invent a bunch of new tricks to get this darling working. I had a vision in mind and I did not want to muck up her most prominent and interesting feature, her lucious highly detailed lips! I ended up using several different pastels ranging from darker pink tones to dark browns on them and I even contoured them with watercolour pencils.

My plan for giving her smokey eyes proved not a good idea and I had to backtrack there. Instead she got rather a light shadowing around her eyes which enhanced the exotic shape of them the way I wanted and left her lips the center of attention. I went with peachy warm tones on the overall blushing and she even ended up with a couple of subtle freckles on her nose.

Vanessa is proving very photogenic and she has tons of interesting angles to her face. I have a feeling she's going to end up being one of those camera hogs yet! ;) She's expressive and has the advantage of being very different from my other girls. Her only problem now is the clothing department. She needs EID/SID sized clothes and I don't have much of those. Luckily she should be able to share some clothes with my Mirodoll Iris and the boys. She seems a bit demanding though. She already made me buy her a dress on Ebay... LOL!
