Ieva gets a face-up.

Oh my Gosh, today is the day. Ieva finally gets her face up! She is so excited! At first it was rainy this morning so she thought she wasn't going to get one done, because it is not ideal to use the Mr. Super Clear spray on a rainy, damp day. But then the sun came out and after I did my work for the day I was able to take on the face up.

So here is her plain white face, all cleaned and ready to go.











First step, we remove the eyeballs. Eep! Can't see a thing!











Moving right along... I've established the brow line, some of the eyeshadow and some lip colour.











Another shot. Now to spray Ieva's head again with MSC.











Moving along quickly now... eyebrow hairs, eyelashes, lip lines, painted in and upper lashes glued into place. Also cheek blushing, temple blushing and ear blushing.









Now to add some shine to the lips, eye corners, eyelids and brow corners. Ooooh. She is looking so pretty and sparkly now.










Now we put in the amber eyes to match the eyeshadow.











Now finally the wig, to pull it all together. The horns are still drying so they won't be ready to be photographed until tomorrow. Same with the hooves and body blushing, although I have made good progress with them.








I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille. If you don't know who Mr. DeMille is, I suggest you research it. It has to do with old Hollywood. I believe the Ieva needs a new hair band. I don't think the pink matches the sunset eyeshadow too well. I think I'll go back to the green one for now.







And finally the last shot for the night. This was my first face up. It was both fun and exhausting. I actually had several mishaps, the first one resulting in a complete strip down and a start over from scratch. The second one I was able to fix it without much to do. I'm very pleased with the results, and so is Ieva. I will post the pics of the horns and hooves tomorrow.
