corin faceup #2

I had a little bit of spare time yesterday so I decided to give my Corin practice head a new faceup (with freckles and eyelashes this time!) (●´∀｀●) I know the eyebrows are a little bit uneven, and I still need to work on defining the lower lashes a little more, but I'm pretty pleased with the result.

Critique is encouraged! In other news, I finally set up my faceup shop's Facebook page with a new banner and pictures. Feel free to check it out~

My flight leaves in 4 hours...

monster highs

I've been surprisingly busy this summer practicing my faceup skills ヾ(´A｀)ノﾟ But I have to say I'm glad I've improved! I've been mostly working on Monster Highs since I bought a ton of them from Target right before I came back home, but I'm hoping to get some BJD heads to practice on so I can continue to work on my brushwork skills. Here's a few pictures of what I've been occupying my time with:

They're all available on my Storenvy (which kind of serves as my gallery ehe). Additional pictures can be found on my faceup shop tumblr! In other news, I'll be in Hong Kong until the 6th of September so I'll be seeing you guys then! Hopefully I get to buy some stuff for Lenny from the doll stores in Mongkok (｀・ω・´)”

first commissioned faceup!

Hey everyone! In case you didn't know, I actually run a very small Monster High repaint and BJD faceup shop called Darjeeling Aesthetics. Today I just completed my very first commissioned faceup on a Resinsoul Xu for a dear friend of mine. I've been practicing a lot on my Corin head and I'm glad I can finally put my skills to use for something other than my own practice heads  :ﾟ｡+━ヾ((○*´∀｀*))ﾉﾞ━+｡ﾟ:

Here's my pic spam:

Critique is heavily encouraged! Please let me know what I can do to improve my skills and grow as a faceup artist! Also, I still have a few slots open for July so please send me a message at darjeeling.shop@gmail.com if you're interested! This is probably the last month that I'll be offering $15 faceups so hurry hurry (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ

kaleido!

Be very careful when helping other people with their doll plans. Be very, very careful. Otherwise you might end up wanting everything you're recommending to them...

Yesterday my friend was doing some casual planning with Oasisdoll's Naomi and I decided to chip in with some shops for wigs, clothes, etc. and stumbled upon Kaleido, the Taobao store I bought Lenny's wig from. Let's see what they have in stock!



I think I'm probably going to end up buying the wig on the right for Lenny. She does need a new one after all, and her birthday's in September...

These dresses are so cute! I think I'm going to have to add either one of them into my order. Gosh I don't know... Kaleido has such excellent styling with their products, it's so difficult to say no to anything they have in store. It doesn't help that they seem to follow a gyaru/aomoji style with their wigs and clothes (one of their BJD dresses is modeled after the one spo cat dress!) which makes things even harder for me! I hope my cousin gets her Taobao order set up soon so I save a little on shipping costs... (ﾉ)´∀｀(ヾ)

summer doll crushes

It's nice that I don't have school or work this summer but one bad thing about it is that I get all this extra time on the internet to fawn over dolls that I can't quite afford yet. I'm wondering if you can spot a common trend among the kinds of girls I like...
