Writing FCS Make up descriptions is hard! I'm trying to keep it simple enough to translate while at the same time making it detailed enough to explain exactly what I want.


Description of Make-up: Colour scheme is dusky pink (1) and milk brown (2) lips are pale dusky pink (3). Overall look is ‘antique natural’ similar to Volks LE Sasha (Sasya). Wig colours worn by this doll are usually light; blondes and pale browns.

Eyes - Dusky pink (1) mixed with milk brown (2) eyeshadow above eyes, eyelid crease lines darkened but not drawn in heavily. Eyeliner in milk brown (2), tear ducts and inside of eyesocket painted in pale dusky pink (3) and glossed. Eyelashes on lower lid painted in many very fine lines close together, colour is milk brown (2), length is medium-long getting shorter towards tear duct. Some milk brown (2) eyeshadow over painted eyelashes to soften the lines. Very fine line of gloss around the edge of the eyesocket.

Eyebrows - Milk brown (2) in curved shape, tapering at the outside ends. Shape and position as shown in picture. Eyebrows painted with fine milk brown (2) lines that are diagonal like hairs. Over this is softer painted shape of eyebrows. Eyebrows are not sharp, angled or painted high on head. Hair lines are faint not strong.

Cheeks - Blushing in dusky pink (1) at corners of cheek, gradually fading towards the face. As shown in picture.

Lips - Painted in pale dusky pink (3) with darker pink line between lips painted to the corners of the mouth. Lips are glossed but not very shiny, more satin than shiny. Lips are painted not airbrushed.

Description of Personality: Miss Charlotte is a sweet, fun loving girl. She is 8 years old and lives in victorian england. She is also very cheeky and sometimes mischievous and has a very vivid imagination. She likes to play games with her toys, pretending to be pirates or adventurers and to play tricks on the servants. Sometimes she can be quiet and sit and read a book or watch the rain fall outside her window. Her expression is sweet, but with a bit of cheeky mischief in it, as if she knows some secret that she won’t tell.

The numbers refer to colours on a pallette I've added to the reference photo. I wouldn't mind suggestions from anyone who's done this before ^^;
