Help me choose: which eyes for Ellie?

Postby Evelien » Tue Jul 24, 2012 2:56 am

I finished her new faceup and even though it's not as perfect and slick as the company faceup was, I'm quite happy and proud with/of what I did for her. She's come more to life to me and I love it!! But... which eyes to choose?? I don't know. I like the pretty brown but the purple makes her come to life more somehow... what would you pick..?

I like the one on the left. I don't know if the color is showing up correctly for me... the one on the right looks black while the left one looks brown.

Your faceup job looks great though! Be proud of yourself :)

Her faceup is darling, the mouth is very pretty! I only see one picture, did you decide?

I see most people chose brown - I went with purple XD

I like the brown colour, but the purple ones seem to have more character, more of a soul.

Some shots with flash (and her new wig, Monique Taylor brown/black 7-8):

hmm... yeah, the purple does seem to actually look better with the wig, because the brown of the wig is more of a cool color and the brown of the eyes is warmer so the purple fits better.

I like the brown better since they don't look so dark even without flash.

I like the purple better. The brown are lighter but the contrast between the iris and the pupil is a little too much, I think.
