I always love hearing you talk, you have such a nice voice
Idk if you've heard of Asmr but imagine her starting a channel 😍
+Minxy MSP My. GOD. My ears are dreaming of it.
+UnegaWaya You are all too kind, thank you :)
After I saw he show the respirator mask, I kinda got all excited, just imagining her sitting at her desk, making beautiful, intricate dolls, and then she's adding a coat of sealant and someone walks in while she's wearing that respirator mask and then they freak out xD
Haha :P
Lauren Parker I know, I've seen her room tour. She could do that, but I'm guessing she opens a window or something and that it doesn't take a whole lot of sealant for one coat. Multiple coats, yes, but I'd guess by the time she was done with doing the eyes or something, the smell or vapors might have dissipated enough for her to apply another coat in the same room
Can you please do a step by step super basic face up tutorial?
My very first episodes of Faceup Stories have every stage of the process explained in the lower thirds. Is there a specific part that you are unsure about that I haven't covered yet?
+Nicolle's Dreams i saw the video and it was awesome but i was thinking of like super more easier and like super natural for beginner type of face up step by step tutorial
+Nicolle's Dreams with also using just the items you showed on this awesome video
+LuckyBjdS I agree, I would also like to see a video like that
That moment when you wanna do doll redraws but you're broke af.
Kiwi Plays Games ME THO! XD
Literally bought everything i needed from amazon for less than 30 pound :) If you wanna know exactly what items im happy to helP!
+Erika B how
AbigailFrancella you just try to search and search and search...i bought a pack of 32 pastels for 4 pound...water colour pencils for 4 pound, brushes for 2 pound, spray for 8 pound etc...
(Is still 100% broke I live with my parents I have like 3 bucks)
When you're a poor midle class and brazilian and you just :///// holyfuck i need to rob a politician
Same here. Plus, I live in a small town, so no art stores or hobby shops. Jesus, help me.
***** o lado ruim de ser br
+Odara Alves Pretty much same, but everything is soooooo expensive!

Andreja, you are a lifesaver!! I've been trying to find Mr Super Clear where I live, but its IMPOSSIBLE, and as I live in a place with very strict mail laws, I cant get it from online either. But I KNOW I can get Tamiya Color here, I've seen it MANY times I was just unsure if it could be used.
Thank you so much!
Does it work well? (if you've tried it)
The two polychromos pencils are not watercolor. I'm assuming it doesn't make a different with those specific ones, but do you prefer watercolor ( example: albrecht durer by faber castell ) over polychromos/non watercolor?
I love these back to the basic videos, they're very helpful. Thank you!
This is what I call real fashion dolls glamorous and elegant classy dresses are the best it makes the dolls even more beautiful... love them all 👗👠👜👛💄
I started repainting dolls in January and your videos have boosted my confidence in becoming a pro like you. Thanks so much for all of your amazing tips and ideas! (Also your cat is so cute!)
Thank you for the video, I've been dying to try this out myself since watching your videos, and now I know what I need. I love, love, love your work. You are an inspiration, thank you so much for being amazing!!
Thank you so much Kiera :D
I can't thank you enough for all of your tutorials. Thaley make mee feel so much better when doing my own doll's face ups. I'm a perfectionist so hearing you say things don't have to be perfect makes me less afraid to make mistakes. Or at least less freaked out when I do make one.
This is something I've wanted to do for years now. I never knew exactly what I needed and I messed up my first time trying. Thank you for making this video! It was extremely helpful ❤️❤️
I LOVE you edit on Your videos it looks so natural or calling. sorry if that sounds a little weird
Me encantan tus videos...felicidades por tú talento! mi sugerencia; subtitulos en español porfavor. .. saludos desde Chihuahua
Thank you so much for this video,I was inspired by you to do this but I had no idea how to start.
also I love what you do,it's beautiful.
Andreja, thank you sooo much for this video! I went to the store today and I bought nearly everything except a gloss (I couldn't find any :( ) and this just gave me a list that really helped me save a ton of money! Thanks so much again!
I love this channel! I bought a Sarah Screams Doll and I'm so excited to start on her repaint!
I love you, really help me, in my country México, I don't know anybody makes this type of work, I really appreciate your videos. Thank you so so so much! To much time ago i wanting does this.
I wish you could do a video about different lipcolors and which colors do you use for that :) thx!
I had a thought about using the airbrushing sealant without an airbrush. Could you feasibly use one of that pump up aerosol cans that you use in cooking to put it in and spray that way?
Thank you for making this video! It was very helpful!
For those who can't find the gloss varnish locally I recommend using a clear nail polish top coat. As for the sealant there's really no good alternatives that I found other than those she'd mentioned. Maybe a base coat??
That's exactly what I was looking for, such a great help! Thank you
Haha glad to see I was not the only one wondering about why she kept using Polychromos (oil based) pencils when those are supposedly bad for resin... well since the video is older it might be cleared up by now.
I love this!
Could you make a basic step by step tutorial for how to use these products and materials when repainting a doll?
I'm grateful for your video I'm a beginner and I live in Brazil, I do not have these materials. I have to adapt thanks for putting subtitles in Portuguese.
This is super helpful! However, I do have a couple questions. I don't know if face-ups are going to become a consistent hobby for me (I would love if it could be though!), and I already have a lot of art supplies from college that I'd like to put to use now that I'm graduated.
Do you know if Grumbacher Matte Workable Fixative or Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic Coating will be good alternatives to MSC?
Also, is it ok just to get a face mask instead of a respirator so long as I spray outside in an open area? Then once I know if this is something I'll be doing often, I can save up for a respirator :')
Thanks
I was wondering which three you had; I have different brand of soft pastels but I DO want the three you have... Could you please post the color names ; Schmincke (3) Pink, Peach, Brown? They have numbers instead...
very helpful!!! thank you!! great video!!!
I am very glad, thanks for commenting :)
Cool vid amazing art stuff to
OMG perfect I have lots and lots of pastels and watercolours because I'm artist, so it's perfect! But I have a couple of questions:
1. What do you do if you are wrong? (for example, my pulse is not very good and when I ink in my drawings, most of the times I do something wrong :/) Does exist anything to erase the mess?
2. Do you use any product at the end? I mean, I didn't understand the process. First you seal the doll, wait for it to dry, and then you paint over. And you add some gloss on the lips, but the rest of the face? It stays forever and ever or you don't have to touch it because if not it will be erased?
That's all, I hope you keep on working (because you are so freaking talented!) and to answer my questions! Thank you so much, lady!
Finally I can see why your Faber-Castell "water colour" pencils are round and not hexagonal. I've always thought "They look like Polychromos, why is that??" and now I see, ok, they ARE Polychromos. But Polychromos are oil-based and not water colour pencils? I thought they shouldn't be used for faceups? >
Yes, I had the exact same suspicion. Polychromos ARE oilbased. The Albrecht-Dürer are watercolor pencils. I have asked Andreja a few times on instagram but I never got a reply. I am wondering if you can actually use Polychromos as well or if she was just mistaken that they are watercolor.
Zenzika
Well, I used Albrecht-Dürer pencils and didn't get a very good result. Since I have a lot of Polychromos, I tried them on my Monster High dolls (since I only made them for myself) and I liked the great results. So far I haven't seen any side effects, but I guess I wouldn't use them on BJDs, since it's a different material? >
I am really not sure. I get nice result on my Monster High dolls with Albrecht Dürer. It helps when you dip just the tip in water... I just would never dare to use the Polychromos on my BJDs... I am scared to death of stains...
I mean in the end everyone can do whatever they like to their dolls, I just thought about customers, when you actually use Polychromos on face-ups... Maybe someone else knows if they stain on resin or not?!
Zenzika
I now bought the derwent watercolour pencils and with those it works well.
Yeah it would be nice to know if it works with Polychromos or if they stain...
So many times I ask the same question, can I paint dolls with Polychromos if are oil based pencils? Why she said are watercolors? @nicolle's dreams
Could you use modge podge gloss in a bottle if you water it down to put on the eyes of an EAH?
Hi!! I'm Korean and I love your videos!!! and i'd love to try face up, but the link is to amazon so it's quite hard to get those stuff...
right now i'm comparing them to other online shoppings!! hope I can get all of em!!
can you make a catrine faceup? and could I use chalk pastels for faceups?
Thanks Nicolle, this was a big help! :)
I am happy this video was useful :D
Thank you so much for this video very useful I can't wait to start!
I have found that KRYLON matte finish has a similar look to msc. But it doesn't have very much tooth
Thanks! That was really helpful. My biggest issue though is the sealants and the glosses. I have an airbrush and it doesn't seem to seal correctly (I have the liquitex sealants you recommended in the other video and watered them down as you showed). I don't know what is going wrong it always comes out sticky and that never goes away. I am not using any pigments or pencils that are oil based either.
+Frigg And Freya it could be that you apply too much of it, it has to be a very light mist, this is why we have to do it multiple times so that we are 100% that we cover the whole head.
Awesome! I'll try again when I get a chance and only lightly apply it. Thanks.
Do you mind sharing the exact three pigment colors that are pictured in the video? Thanks in advance ❤️
i want to customize dolls too😍😍 and try to sew some clothes 😊 this is great for beginners thanks i love this 💜
Hi Nicolle! I have a msd size bjd that came with its own default faceup and I've decided that I'd like to add on to it a bit, however I'm too nervous that I'll mess something up and ruin the doll so I'd like to try and practice on something more inexpensive first. I was wondering if I could use the same methods to repaint a Barbie doll face as practice, and if it would actually work. Thanks!
Yay! The only emberassing thing about this hobby is buying the monster hight dollXD
Thank you so much for the video, it was super informative and I'll make sure to remember it when people ask me about materials in the future.
I was totally under the impression that Polychromos pencils were oil-based so I'd avoided them in the past, looking now though I have no idea where I got that idea. I look forward to buying 100000 of them in the future XD
+Ohbeesneeze As far as I know Polychromos pencils ARE oil-based. They're def. not watercolor pencils (they're actually water resistant). That being said, they're wondeful pencils with a lot of color pay-off.
FaberCastell does have watercolor pencils, but they're called Albrecht Durer. :)
Ahh that's what I was thinking, I got a couple of pencils from both the Polychromos and Albrecht Durer ranges to test out, it should be fine as long as I never use the Polychromos pencils on resin, I don't want it to stain but that doesn't matter as much with Monster high ^^
can you paint the sealer on the face instead of spraying it, like would it have the same effect or mess anything up?
You are my favorite youtuber.Keep up the good work
+Shereen Mac-intosch Thank you
Which ones can one use still of the gloss varnish.
sorry for my English. I can't English.
I will definitely try and customize a doll
Do you have any recommendation as to what respirator to get? Btw Thank you for this video❤
I have also had problems finding mr super clear, the sealant I have found in the uk is called americana which is also an acrylic matte sealer/finisher spray, I also can't find schminck pastels so I have purchased the best quality ones the art shop stocked, I have derwent and faber castel pencils to use and have a few mh dolls to begin with, I have tried so many times to remove the factory paint with cotton balls and acetone but it smears the paint, I found that using cotton buds (q-tips) was easier but I have a question about the removal of smeared paint and the black staining that the paint leaves, do I just continue to use acetone and cotton wool to rub this away? it doesn't seem to be coming off, what is the best way to remove factory paint? do I just hold the pad on the eye, do I rub it off or do I gather it up into blobs the scoop it up? is it normal to take a long time removing the paint, in videos people seem to remove the paint really easily and cleanly in a few wipes! This is a brilliant back to basics video, will you be doing a wig making tutorial soon? also which stores do you buy your wigs and clothes from?
thanks for the amazing videos, I look forward to them all the time! you do the most gorgeous faces and the dolls look incredible once finished.
Could you please write down the name of the last things you use over the doll when you finish painting them? Please, please? 😍
What about the Liquitex Professional Matte Varnish Spray does it work for doll customizing and do you think you can do a video experimenting on it please? I don't want to have a Life and Death situation with those sprays and i have to wait until i get more money in order to buy the airbrush (Plus what kind of Airbrush do you use?)
Awesome video
this is really helpful what about eyes though could you do a video on those
What was the first product that she said in a studio I could not hear and with the pastels all based or water based
Thank you so much!
Hello Andreja, I was wondering of you would be willing to list some of the colors you use for the Schminke pastels?
Does mod podge work in the doll's face to seal it?
(love you and your channel)
Nila Wright Yes it gets very sticky and after applying you cant take it off .Take that from someone who has tried mod podge and regretted it
Valentina Sama I tried using modge podge but it peels off
mod podge if used as a sealent needs to be watered down them applied using a airbrush
Nila Wright l
Valentina Sama Can I use clear nail polish? :/ I dunnooo
Can I use Krylon's Kamar Varnish as a sealant?
so does she use the derwent water color or the inktense derwent pencils?
Love your videos! They really help me a lot as a beginner in faceups. :) Could you perhaps do a tutorial on how to draw eyelashes/eyebrows? I really suck at them :(
Do you still use sealant after the complete face up? I learned a lot from your channel. Thank you! ♥️
What can I use instead of Mr super clear spray
Does it matter what brand of watercolor pencil you use?
Have your (or anyone else) ever tried Liquitex Matte Varnish Spray?
can i use mate nail polish as the sealant ?
I know that you didn't just wanted to calm the situation 😊I'm glad your ok now
Does tamiya color work well like mr super clear ?
polychromos pencils are wax/oil based pencils, won't they upset the resin?
Best video for begginers ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Can I use acetone to erase the make up?
Which specific colors did she show in the pastels? I've trying to figure it out...
nice tips! but as someone who as no clue about faceups; what kind of pastells are suited for faceups, soft pastell or the oil-based ones? and you say/link watercolor pencils, but the polychromos you show in the video are oil-based as well.
so i'm a little confused :,)
I know it's been 7 months but in case somebody is wondering, you should use soft pastels and water based pencils 😃
Amazing and informative, love your nails!
+Mew the Goddess Thank you for watching :D
I love this hopefully I can get some supplies today so I can finally transform my barbie doll I have. also the same thing goes for the mask if their is a non toxic brand, cuz I know I have one but I do think where it went. also where do you buy the doll clothing?
Thank you so much for making this video. I couldn't find single Schmincke Pastels and the ones I got are way too hard, so I'm thinking about ordering the Schmincke ones online. Would you mind telling me what colors these three are you show in the video? thank you so much!
Instead of using water colour pencils, what else can you use?
Just a question but do you use Fabre Castell polychromos or Fabre Castell water colours??
Can you use prismacolor pencils?
This is a really lovely video for newcomers like me! :D Thank you so much Nicolle
+Jasmine Morgan I am very glad it was helpful :) Thank you for watching!
Since I'm cheap will crayola airbrush work?
I never knew you needed respiratory gear to use sealants!
is it fine if I holt my breath wyle spraiing mr. superclear? or do I realy nead a mask
(sorry fore the bad grammer I am dutch)
I've been thinking about starting with ripoff MH dolls from dollar stores to practice, so I can get multiple and not worry about messing up.
Don't forget that the faceups are removable, so you can keep repainting the same doll over and over again and not need to have many dolls. That is what I did at least since I don't like supporting bootlegs :)
And also do you put the sealant all over the doll's face?
Will it. Work with. Watercolor?
I would love to start, but I wanted to ask, with brushing on a Matte Sealant, and using pencils or watercolors, does the paint( or pencil, or pastel) move around? I've had a problem like that, not on doll making but in general, and thought I'd ask! Also with good ventilation(And protection of breathing "holes" XD) would a spray matte sealant be better?xx
Sorry to ask, what materials do you use to model the dolls?
one ask!!! were i can find the pencils and the other color of picmets! (srry for the bad english
what is the cost of all of it together? thanks!
Should you also be wearing the respirator for the gloss varnish?
if you used a lot of it, then yes because I'd assume it would emit a strong odour which could cause you headaches. However because I literally use less than one drop of it every month, you can't really smell any of it - at least not from the brand that I use. The main reason why you must use a respirator with the spray sealant, is that you could easily inhale the actual sealant airborne particles when spraying and get that nasty stuff stuck in your lungs.
I’m pretty late on this video lol. But to do face ups, would it work if I used only acrylic paint to do the face up and then use Liquitex matte varnish as a sealer? (I would brush it on)
i cant buy mr. super clear cuz they dont ship to Denmark... errr do u have any sealent u recommend instead?... same with gloss varnish those 2 brands dont ship either... also the nail polish remover what do u recommend?^^
Hello. Can I ask where can I get that paint sealer?...I'm from Czech republic and I'm only 15 years Old...so is there something not so expensive that I can get here? Also I'm very sorry for my bad english and thank you so much for your help
OMG, You are the best! thank you!
Finally i can make beautiful faceup for dolls! :)
Do you need sealant
eu não sei se você vai responder , mas qual o nome do curso ou faculdade para aprender a fazer isso ?
Thank you so much!
But I have a very important(/not important at all lol) question to ask. What is the best shade of blue is good for dolls with brown hair? (For the Derwent water colors)
Thank you so much, I love your work!
:3
thank you for your great videos! could you pls make a video on how to remove doll's heads? i am soon ready to make my first repaint and rerooting hair on a disney animator doll (1. edition). i want to make sure i do not wreck head and body by doing so :) and maybe make a video on how to fix a nose on a doll who has lost the tip of the nose (i have a barbie that lost the tip ;/ thank you so much!
