ehm.....I'm not so good at the big'uns. If you look close you can see where I messed up on the eyes and you can see the awkward fat lashes. I'm pretty hard on myself I know, but I want my heads to look like heads by a faceup artist. She's still pretty and luckily for her, I'm out of MSC so she get's to keep this face for a bit. You can tell I pretty much gave up on her by all the spots I left on her.

But, I will try harder next time...and not use day old paint...yes...i know...bad idea.

It's the Parabox Gretel right? If so it looks way better then the original face-up they gave her.

You are a wonderful faceup artist!!!

For a first one that's pretty darn good!

Thanks guys. You can't see in the pics but the reason she has super dark shadow is to cover the mess i made of the crease line. I was influenced in the face up by the default FL Chicline Lishe face so the smokey eye works out anyway. I guess it is unreasonable to expect to do as well as professional faceup artists the first time around. There are a few wobbles around her lips and such so eventually I'll redo her face. I have to order some MSC from JS first.

She's beautiful! The Friend Gretel is a good factory faceup (Volks are still the champs for that) but it really can use a little TLC. Which my Mitzi got, happily, from two excellent artists: Pumibel (who was first pwn3d by Mitzi) and Biff.

Here she is in all her glory:
