how to paint / stain / color a TPE doll?

Great color job .... (longer comments in my other post)

This and other results are showing that once you understand the substrate (TPE) and how it works, then if you WORK WITH IT you can get some fine ladies.
Human makeup (made for humans) and traditional paint (for solid surfaces) were designed and tuned for those substrates, not TPE.
Human makeup works on a face, not too well to paint a boat. Likewise acyclic paint is great for a figurine, but not for human eye shadow.
Every new test extends what we know and thus we all will get better.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!

just need eye shadow
I get a eye shadow pallets with flesh tones and pinks. I brush some onto a paper plate and mix a small amount of baby oil, only need a couple drops till you get an oil like paint. then you brush it onto the part you want to color, I just use a q-tip. The tpe will suck up the oil pulling in the eye shadow pigment

Would you happen to have pictures of this process to see results really want to do the aerolas on mine
