I eventually want to do faceups myself but I'm a little nervous so I will probably get her faceup done by the company for the first doll. Good to know a magic eraser works for removing faceups and staining! I have been repainting barbies a while and I just use acetone/cotton balls. Never thought to try a magic eraser.

I'm surprised no one has jumped yet... using acetone on your BJDs is like wandering down a busy highway on foot, you MIGHT not die... SOME people have managed to not melt dolls, but you never know. Depending on what you have (vinyl vs resin), they can melt, they can flake... it's best just not to risk it. And non-acetone has dyes and can stain. 91% alcohol with Magic Eraser is all that ever touches my dolls, aside from soap and water.

Both the MSD and the tinies such as the elfkins or luckies are a lot harder to find clothing for, where as dolls such as Isabella, March and Bei can wear Liv and Barbie clothing, plus their heads are the perfect size for the Liv wigs.

you can see that here
I've seen some people add to them with sculpty or whatnot or even just sand around to make them a touch more mature.
This girl here is kayke's and she's sanded her to make her more curvy and mature. I think the result is very cute.
