What is this paint!?

Postby MizzMoxie » Fri Oct 19, 2012 1:05 pm

Hi! I've barely been here a day and I already found a question to ask :P

Can someone tell me what kind of paint this is on this girls eyes? It's the shiny, pearly stuff. http://i.ebayimg.com/t/BJD-Dollfie-SD-D ... ~~60_3.JPG

Cheers and Pre-thanks!

The eyeballs themselves appear to be glitter encapsulated in acrylic, and the paint around her eyes could be a mix of a pearl paint like http://www.volksusa.com/matlpa0027.html or a custom blend done by the artist.

If you can find a pearlescent acrylic paint in white it can be mixed with pretty much any other color to create a pearlescent paint.

I think it's this stuff probably with a bit of glitter sealer over it. It's wonderful stuff. It looks like a mix of the copper and a little gold plus some fine grade glitter sealer, though they might have added some powder pearl pigment like from Pearl Ex and then sealed it with gloss sealer. It's fairly translucent like glass paint unless you really layer it on a lot so I'm guessing it's probably good for eyes. Could be metallic glass paint with glitter too, but I think it's more likely the jacquard.
