The looks don’t have to be exactly the same to convey a spooky message. Plus, if you find you can’t achieve a look exactly the way the makeup artist did, all the better - find a way to make it your own. Trust me, if you can draw a semi-straight line or a circle, you can complete most of these looks, so don’t let them intimidate you. There are so many different Halloween makeup looks you can do that require little to no makeup skills. Whenever I choose a Halloween eye makeup look, I always do something that will stand out from the crowd and make sure that my peepers truly pop.

And on Halloween, I can truly let my freak flag fly without having to explain it to anyone. (Is that just me?) I can’t help but love an over-lined eye, all-black everything, and random glitter on my face for no reason. If you are looking for a more realistic effect, you may want to root the hair by attaching it one strand at a time with a fine needle.The best part about Halloween is freely being able to dress the way you want to dress during the other 364 days of the year. If you choose to use a wig, you will attach it to the head using super glue. The hair can be from a wig that you purchased or you can paint the hair on. The size of the false eyelashes that you use will use depends on the type of doll that you are making children tend to have shorter and finer eyelashes than adults. Glue the false eyelashes above the eyes with a drop of super glue. Place a clear glossy coat of paint over the lips to get the appearance of moistened lips. If you paint around the dolls eyes using a deeper color of paint with a fine paintbrush, you will get a dramatic effect. Paint the lips, the fingernails and the toenails, and outline the eye. A second coat may be necessary to get the desired effect. Using a paint brush, paint the entire head with acrylic paint using the color that you chose for the doll. When it is cool, carefully remove the porcelain from the mold and sand it with ultra-fine sandpaper until all the edges are smooth. Remove the mold from the kiln and let it cool completely. Do not fire for longer as this will burn or crack the porcelain. Once the mold is filled, you will place it into the kiln and fire it for approximately 8 hours. Pour it into the mold making sure it is completely filled. Make the porcelain slip according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This is what will be used for all the porcelain parts of the doll. Porcelain slip is clay that is diluted and strained until it is consistently smooth. You also need to decide if it will be entirely porcelain or will it be soft-bodied.ĭecide what color the porcelain slip will be: white, ivory, flesh, pink, oriental, peach, brown or black.

The size of mold you will purchase will depend upon the size of doll you will be making. Decide what size of doll you want to make: a girl, boy, woman or man.
