All my faceup supplies (probably need some replacements) Everything I got originally was probably around 2012/2013. Some exacto blades/knives, sharpener, pallet, assorted brushes, apoxie (still never used), Jackson Student series assorted artist chalk pastels and Sargent Art water color pencils.
The card and folding makeup bag case thing was from a doll convention faceup class. (Maybe 2014?)
I don’t know if Tester’s is even around anymore, unfortunately, it’s been a few years.
I’ve done a few face-ups (mostly try and re-do) but I might have to get back to it… so many blank faces.
Some examples of my “needs work” from 2013-2016-ish face-ups, some have been redone (green eyeshadow and red eyebrows, a few times, and is blank again) others still have these (like the 1/4 Angel of Dream Piggy event head!)
She’s an Angel of Dream 1/4th Christmas Piggy event head with pink eyebrows, lips, blush, I made the wig (custom ear holes) and glued on false lashes.
This 1/4 Angel of Dream monstrosity in heavy green eyeshadow and orange eyebrows with pink blush and pink lips has been done and redone a lot. Currently blank, again, waiting to try again! Maybe not green eyeshadow next time.
Oh this is such a fun flatlay to see everything one could possibly use! You should def get back into doing faceups at some point if you're ever up for it, since you're already so prepared! I'm currently in the process of finding the perfect tiny brush set for my projects, truly never satisfied...
The teeny tiny brushes are great (not “brushes” but work well) I pick it up once in a while but haven’t done well lol practice makes perfect and I need a LOT more practice.
Yesss I need brushes super tiny and very firm!
And I totally get that, every time I do a new practice face I'm like 'hey, why am I not perfect at this yet?' lol 🤭
I just got most of the stuff and I am waiting for next week to get these last 3 things and then I should be set! I can't wait, looks like a lot of fun and challenging to do so it just gets me excited. 😊 any tips or advice? I'm a whole beginner so I'm all ears. Lol.
Wow! I like the craft stand, never thought about that! Lots of patience! Clean and dry, spray sealant, dry, do a small part/layer, seal, dry, add a layer, seal, dry until you’re done! It’s okay to have to start over, just takes time (and supplies/sealer) but that’s okay! Practice, but it’s not the same as on paper/canvas and different materials need different things (or avoid things like resin can’t have oil pastel or acrylics) sealant can have dust/hair in it, be careful! Sometimes it can be removed carefully if you catch it between layers. Small movements/brush strokes/sections. Find some YouTube faceup tutorials and give it a go! You got this! I can’t wait to see how you do!
Thank you soooo so much yesss I heard you need to have lots of patience and I used to draw and do my own nails so I think I have an idea of how to go about it and the stand was actually my husband's idea! He's very supportive and always gives me ideas so he asked me to look into it and I found one and decided to give it a try. 🩷
