Amaya's Face Up

I liked Amaya's original Fairyland face up, 

but it went downhill after I changed her eyes and trimmed the bangs on her wig. 

I used the wrong eye putty for this size doll, and used Q-tips and paper towel bits to try and clean her eyes, which also wiped off her lower right eyelashes. 

I brushed away the trimmed hairs from her face, and her lip paint also chipped. 

I noticed that photos of her did not look as good as I would like. 

I touched up the black inner eyeliner that had flaked off. 

I tried to do her lips, but it was also not what I was looking for. 

I wiped off her lips, and I sent her to a less expensive face up artist who had been recommended wanting her lips to be touched up and her eyelash lines redone. 

I don't think the first person listened to what I wanted 

and her face up was not what I was looking for. 

I sent her to someone with more experience who did a much better job 

listening to my desire for a natural look and being able to provide it. 

I am still having my moments where it looks cinnamon and not as pink as I think I would prefer, but most of the time it is a soft, natural look.

7. February 21st (home from first face up-not what I was looking for) 

8. March 25th (day of arrival with new face up).

I don't know if this kind of deterioration is typical of Fairyland face ups, 

or if it was done too quickly and not set properly. 

I certainly am having the "what was I thinking?" moment 

with her cut bangs and face up flaking off.

I am REALLY glad I had her face up redone and replaced her wig.

I am having a lot of fun getting to know her again.

I am also having a lot of fun with close up portrait photos

showing off her new face up.
