Actually I didn't see that as my best work. Something of a quick hack job this time.orchido wrote:There's not enough resolution in the head photo, but the lips look really good in moderate zoom, master painter.Dollyman25442 wrote:Not exactly a glam shot, but here's Zoey's Body Color makeover.
Can you teach us, mere mortals with bad eyesight and shaky hands about how to get there?
None the less, I'll share the technique I use.
With Body Color by Miss Atleur, you need to work fast. Very fast. Once the product start to set up and get tacky you've already lost the game. You got about 120 seconds to do the job.
Use the supplied brush with the product. I've used god knows how many other brushes and the one that's supplied actually winds up being the best thing. Load the brush heavy as you want to make single long swipes so you can get an even coat. Work from inside the lips to outside.
When going for the mouth corners, use your opposite painting hand to gently pull down the chin and fully expose that area. Very important so you won't get a corner smudge that will leave your girl looking like she has clown makeup on.
Rest the heel of your hand somewhere. This is REALLY important. If you try to free style you'll get an uneven line guaranteed.
Above all else. Work fast. Probably pay to practice on a spare piece of tpe. Tpe has the odd tendency to want to drag the brush. this is another reason you want to load the brush heavy.
Lastly, I find the product does have something of a shelf life. It thickens in the bottle in a few weeks and this makes application on the lips a bit more....tricky.
I heard that a reducer may become available in the future and that would be very helpful for "re-freshing" product after it's been on the shelf for a few weeks.
Also, reducer makes lip application significantly easier as the flow characteristics become much much easier.
A few notes-
Alcohol prep will make the product stay on quite a long time.
Powder prep makes it easier to remove, but seriously shortens the stay on life.
For realism, important to do the interior of the mouth in a light pink and don't forget to whiten the teeth if they are visible
I find that if I dust on some powder after cure, it quite nicely softens the work for a more natural look. You can always apply some Vaseline later to get that "glam" look if you desire.
Want to be a make-up bad ass? Before doing your Body Color application, outline the lips with eyeliner. But grasshoppa, you will need a very steady hand for this detail. Smoke some good pot, lol!
Here's Jo's lip job powdered.

Here's one of Zoey with the hair that she has when she's just being Zoey, not the super model ZoeyCrazyCajun wrote:Dam Dollyman25442 you are becoming quite the Artist! Zoey is looking exceptional!
Those freckles are killer, I really like that you didn't go overboard with them and the coloring looks natural for her skintone!
And I see you added a bit of darker color along with the nipple color, looks great! Also love the way you do the texturing, really adds to the realism.
I would bet they feel real as well!
Great Job, Lovely girl and photos! Thanks for sharing with us!
But I can't say she'll ever go without make-up. Chix. Whadda ya gonna do, right?

The labia will need a darker color, next time.
The face coloring is still holding up very well.

I definitely see what you're saying, but I think it's the way her hair is falling on her shoulders, obscuring them. Her neck is long, but not nearly as long as it looks in the first photo. I've added another photo to show you what I mean
