Thank you, everyone, for your kind words! Now I have enough confidence to try something more radical with a blank floating head I have moping around here somewhere
Though, when I was doing this faceup I had trouble with the eyelashes. I didn't want to put the base of the lashes on the rim of her upper eyelid, since it would take away a precious mm of openness from her eye, and since they're already half-closed, it makes a lot of difference. So I glued them on so that the eyelash base is just inside her eye (the way most people seem to do it), but it makes her eyes push on her lashes a little, which makes the lashes look a bit uneven and wonky, like she slept on them wrong (though this doesn't really show in the pictures). Though it could just be that I was too impatient, and put her eyes in before the glue was fully dry
Anybody have any recommendations regarding lashes? Any favorite tips and tricks? All advice is appreciated!
