Makeup is one of the most relevant fixtures in female cosmetic enhancement. Virtually every female applies makeup to look more attractive. Applying makeup is a process, and while some people are very good at it, others have a lot to learn. Fortunately for sex doll owners, they can apply makeup on the doll to enhance their look. Aside from dressing up, applying makeup is another beauty enhancement tip for your doll. 

Before you start applying makeup on your doll, it's important to note that the skin of these life-like sex dolls is extremely porous. Due to the nature of their skin, this makeup tends to soak in or fade on their face after some time.

Before you apply that makeup, there are some tips you should know:

1.   Clean Her Face

This tip is similar to cleaning your doll's face for makeup removal. Avoid oil-based products to cleanse your doll's face in preparation for makeup application. Furthermore, one should also avoid using harsh face cleansers. Instead, you can opt for mild and skin-friendly face cleansers. Using lotions is also not recommended because they lock it in instead of taking dirt off your doll's face. You can simply use mild soap and clean water to wash your doll's face to keep things simple.

2.   Decide Where to Apply Makeup

There are many areas on the face to apply makeup on. For example, the eyebrows, lips, cheeks, eyelids, etc. Depending on the look you want to achieve, you can opt for one facial zone or all of the above-mentioned facial zones.

For eyebrow makeup, you will need at least one of the following:

  • An eye shadow or eyebrow pencil for filling in her brows
  • An eyebrow powder for toning the brows to match her hair color
  • An eyebrow gel for darkening and shaping her eyebrows
  • Eyebrow wax for a better hold and to mold her eyebrow hairs into your preferred look
  • Mascara for shaping and toning brow hairs
  • Spoolie (eyebrow brush) for untangling thick brow hairs and brushing out excess clumps of eye makeup. 

For lip makeup, you'll need at least one of the following:

  • Lip liner
  • Lipstick
  • Lip brush

To apply makeup on the cheeks, you'll need any of the following:

  • Cream blush
  • Liquid highlighter
  • Stippling brush
  • Bronzer

For the eyelids, you'll need at least one of the following:

  • Eye shadow
  • Mascara
  • Eye primer
  • Eyeliner

3.   Apply Makeup

Eye Makeup

  • Use your eyeshadow brush and eyeshadow palette of your choice and apply a base shade on the eyelid of your doll.
  • If you want your sex doll to have a dramatic smoky eye, you can take the shade upwards to the brow bone. If you want your doll to have a regular look, stop applying the base shade when you get to the crease or edge of her eye.
  • To achieve neat makeup, apply the base shade on the eye crease when your doll's eyes are open, then work it towers the lash line. This way, you avoid drawing messy lines.
  • Apply darker shades of eyeshadow on her eye crease to add dimension and depth; this will highlight your doll's eyes.
  • Apply eyeliner to make your doll's lashes appear thicker. If you're not big on eyeliners, go for a dark eyeshadow color.
  • Take a flat brush with short bristles and apply this color on the edges of her top eyelid starting from the beginning of her lashes, then repeat the process on the bottom lash line.
  • Finally, apply a shimmery light color under her brow to lift it and highlight it. Repeat the process on the inner eye corner and finish with 2-3 coats of your preferred mascara.

Lip Makeup

  • Create a lip contour by using your lip liner on the contours of the doll's lips. Begin with the middle of her top lip, then repeat the same process on the middle of her bottom lip. Then complete the process by drawing the line from the corners of both lips. A lip liner makes lip makeup more durable and prevents the lipstick from peeling off. It also makes thin lips appear fuller and more kissable.
  • Get your lip brush and apply lipstick to your doll's lips. Choose a lipstick color with great color intensity, silky feel, optimal coverage, and durability.

Cheek Makeup

To apply bronzer:

  • Use your makeup brush to apply bronzer along your doll's hairline; work the brush downwards to the bridge of her nose and over her cheek regions. Next, you can dab a little bronzer on her neck and chin. Begin with light applications and gradually build up the shade for the look you're trying to create for your doll.
  • To highlight her features and contour your doll's face, use the brush to lightly apply the bronzer across the hollows of her cheeks and her jawline. This will give your doll a more defined look.

To apply blush:

  • If your sex doll has a heart-shaped face, apply blush in a curved shape starting from her temple to the base of her cheekbone. This will highlight her cheekbones.
  • If your sex doll has a round face, don't apply the blusher on her cheek apples. Instead, apply the blusher under your cheekbones.
  • If you have a squared-jaw sex doll, apply the blusher on her cheek apples in a circular motion.

4.   Clean the Makeup

Avoid using harsh makeup removers so that you don't ruin your doll's skin. Instead, regard your doll's face as a human face and use a skin-friendly makeup remover. An excellent example of makeup remover includes baby wipes. Baby wipes or makeup wipes are more effective makeup removers than a cloth or towel, so this can be your first choice makeup remover. After deciding what you're going to use to clean your doll's face, start slowly. It's essential to take your time; the slower, the better.

Cleaning your face with fast motions will generate friction which isn't good for the skin. Also, don't rely on makeup wipes alone. After using makeup wipes to remove the makeup, wash the face with clean water and mild soap to remove any remnant makeup and debris from the face. 

You can opt for face wash as an alternative to mild soap. 

Don't forget the edges of your doll's eyelid while cleaning her face. This is one of the most neglected zones during the removal of makeup. Another neglected facial zone is the hairline. Before you even begin cleaning your doll's face, we recommend tying her hair into a ponytail to expose the hairline. Next, clean her face to the very edge of her hairline. At this point, you should properly clean every inch of your doll's face.

5.   Avoid Using Oil-Based Products for Prolonged Lifespan

Due to the porosity of your doll's skin, avoid oil-based makeup on your doll's face. Over time, this can ruin your doll's skin. Opt for water-based makeup. 

6.   Final Thoughts

You can opt for regular make-up as there's no special makeup for sex dolls. They are safe on their skin, but also consider choosing makeup that's also safe for you because you will initiate contact with your doll through kissing or sucking. Also, avoid cheap makeup products because most of them are low in quality. We're not saying you should break the bank to beautify your doll. However, most high-quality, eco-friendly, and non-toxic makeup products are usually expensive.
