I'm not a closet Trekkie - I don't keep it to myself. While some take this opportunity to send in inspiration from a certain decade (the '80s are apparently very popular) or to be extra-particular about the hair and makeup on their doll (think bright pink lips, or freckles), others let their imaginations run wild - and Katelyn Thorpe, the makeup department head at RealDoll, welcomes these requests. The truly inspired, however, forego the company's palette altogether - and that's where the fantasy really comes to life. For those, you have a dizzying array of so-called 'standard' choices, including everything from red lipstick to multiple shades of nude, French manicures to black nail polish, and more. I found a Halloween doll dress from Wal-Mart ($12) but any cute dress would do.Īll you need is a dress, any dress.For clients who want to build their own doll, the potential combinations on the site are pretty endless to begin with: There are 33 different faces to choose from, as well as 18 body types, 5 skin tones, and 8 eye colors before you even get to the hair and makeup. I purchased Maybelline’s white eyeliner for $3. I’ve tried a Nude liner in the past but it doesn’t give you the same effect like white liner. To achieve the big doll-eyed look, you’ll need to get white eyeliner. I purchased the ELF felt tip liquid liner for $2 and it worked perfectly. Lines with a black pencil liner doesn’t come out as clean or nice as the black liquid liner.

All the DUO glues will work just as well! 3. For costume purposes, the black will work in your favor, but don’t fret if you can’t get the black option. You need to purchase the DUO lash glue in black. I use to wear false lashes religiously and the DUO glue is the only glue that will last ALL DAY. Now, I know that most lash sets come with glue, but let me tell you from experience, the lash glue in the set will NOT hold up all day. I ended up buying the more dramatic lash set from the costume isle for the top lashes, and a lighter-whispy lash set from the make-up isle for the bottom lashes. Both were about the same price, $2-$3/each. I bought a pair of lashes from the costume isle and another pair from the make-up isle. During the Halloween season, stores stock up on Halloween doll lashes that can usually be found by the costume isle.
