I’m back to watch this a second time because I’ve been contemplating doing some customizing and remembered liking a lot of your ideas. I love that you power through even when you’re so nervous. It pays off! You do a great job. It gives me a little boost of confidence to try this on some of my TLC dolls.
I watched this when it first came out but wanted to come back to comment. I love that you did this (and also, I love that the Cinderella doll was not LE, which made it more accessible for you to buy her to customize). Getting to replicate our own freckles, moles, etc does so much to really make our mini-me dolls a better match than AG could ever do. Thanks for sharing!
I learned so much from this video! Your freckling was so perfect to me. A suggestion for the eyebrows: I did this with my dark skin Claudie doll, but I think it would work on your doll. After removing the eyebrows with acetone, I used a PIGMA MICRON 01 sepia color pen from an art store. It cost under $3.00 for the single pen. The size (01) worked perfectly and the darkness of the lines can vary depending on how firmly you press. The pigment is waterproof and fade proof, but you can wipe it off with your finger before it dries. It’s a little tricky getting both eyebrows the same, but they were much easier than doing lips! I was able to follow Claudine’s brow ridge for placement. If your doll doesn’t have prominent brows, you might want to lightly pencil in the exact line to follow.
The Caroline eyes were such a great choice! She’s beautiful, and I’m sure she’ll be even better when you get the lips and eyebrows to do what you want. 😊
Yeah, I’m at a loss, too. Several of my old Pleasant Company dolls (especially Josefina) have such faded eyebrows, I can barely see them. I know I need to go over them with a dark watercolor pencil, or something, but it seems almost too scary to try (and that’s with a pattern I want to keep- can’t even imagine doing a new design). But I’m sure it can be done! Doll faceup artists, lend us your wisdom.
Your eye color is so pretty! I think the Caroline eyes are good fit though I think I had voted for Lea in the poll. I hope you can get her lips to a point you’re happy with!
she‘s so pretty, this was such a fun video to watch!! if you want to reference your name for hers you could call her Rose or Rosie! Eve and Eva are really pretty too!!
She looks so BEAUTIFUL! I know you're critically evaluating your work, but I really think she turned out wonderfully. I love the Caroline eyes (and not just because that's what I voted for on your Insta!)- from the photos of your eyes that you showed, I think they nicely capture the uniqueness of your eye color, especially in natural light. For all the hiccups that she threw your way, I hope you're able to enjoy her, too. I'm always so impressed by your customizing skills.
You are always so sweet.. thank you! I’m so happy with my choice of the Caroline eyes. They were the second most popular option from my insta poll but Lea’s definitely won by a long shot.
I’m not an artist nor do I repaint doll faces, but some of the really nice customs that I’ve seen have small vertical lines in the lip paint. Also, maybe they’d look more natural with a bit of gloss. I like the color and shape of them. I think she looks great! Obviously I don’t know what you actually look like, but the doll looks great!
I think I do want some gloss on her, actually. I found that I liked the color before it dried. I’ve tried using a gloss mod podge on top and wasn’t happy with it. I would love to figure out how to get them smoother, too. I’ll figure it out eventually, I’m sure!
She looks gorgeous! Your family was absolutely right about the Caroline eyes. I couldn't see it at first, but once you put them in, they were perfect. Her freckles and cheek color look so pretty and I really like her lips. I'm so amazed that you got that wig to look basically brand new and it looks so much like your hair. I love the top she has on too, as it looks great with her eyes. I would either call her "Mini Evelyn" or something like Evalina. Grace is my mini-me, so I didn't rename her, but just kept her as Grace. Or you could call her Cindy as a nod to her base doll, or some combination like Cindalyn. :) Thanks for sharing her transformation! That was wonderful. :)
Thank you ❤️❤️ Yes - I’m glad I listened to them rather than going with the most popular option. My mother in law’s name is Cindy so that name is out, but I love the idea of tying her name to Cinderella in some way.
Great job!!! She gave you a lot of trouble, huh? Josefina molds are a nightmare for eyeswaps I swear 😂 You could call her Evie or Evynn maybe? Or Little Lynn 😄
Very pretty! You did a great job on her lips. We can be so critical of our own work but you are very talented. You could call your mini-me 'Rose'. Just a thought...
Thank you for the kind words and name suggestion! ❤️ You’re so right - I am my worst critic and I need to give myself the same compassion I would someone else.
So beautiful and unique! Thanks for showing us the journey! I recently made my minime out of a TLC Blaire who has a great tan compared to me lol. Was it hard to sacrifice a Caroline? Mine needs a new wig, but I cannot bear to take her apart. I eventually took a liking to her dry beachy waves lol. I am the same person who gets upset throwing smiling cute things or pictures in the trash.
Thank you so much! Oh yes, Blaire has quite the tan compared to me too. It was absolutely hard to sacrifice my Caroline but I think I will have a lot of fun customizing her.
Aww, thank you so much!! You are so kind. I just subscribed to your channel - it’s amazing! Looks like you’ve been on TH-cam for a long time which is awesome. Can’t wait to check out more of your content ❤️❤️

This is such a kind comment - thank you!
She's so cute! I think Evie would suit her so well!
Thank you! I always think of Pokémon when I think of Evie. It’s such a cute name!

Thanks Kristie! I’m so glad that Cinderella was not $300, that’s for sure.

Aww, that makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for the recommendation for the eyebrows. I still have been too nervous to do anything with these still.
She came out so well! I looove Lea's wig with loose waves, it looks totally different.
Thank you!! I’m obsessed with how the wig turned out, especially considering the bad condition it was in to start. I’m glad I didn’t toss it!
The Caroline eyes were such a great choice! She’s beautiful, and I’m sure she’ll be even better when you get the lips and eyebrows to do what you want. 😊
Thank you!! The brows scare me the most.. I know I want them to be a different shape, but how to accomplish that, I’m not so sure.

Great job! Name suggestion Evangeline.
Thank you so much! I love that name!
Wow I love your mini-me doll! She is so beautiful! ❤ I think her lips look great
Aww, thank you so much!
Your eye color is so pretty! I think the Caroline eyes are good fit though I think I had voted for Lea in the poll. I hope you can get her lips to a point you’re happy with!
Awww, thank you!! I’m really happy with how the Caroline eyes turned out. Now, what to do with Caroline…
she‘s so pretty, this was such a fun video to watch!! if you want to reference your name for hers you could call her Rose or Rosie! Eve and Eva are really pretty too!!
Thank you for the sweet comment! And for the great name suggestions 🥰
Looks great. Nice job. 👍
Thank you Kathy ❤️❤️
Such a great job! You could maybe name her Roselyn, it’s like your channel name combined together.
Thank you so much! And a great suggestion 🥰
I think Eve, or maybe Evie?
She’s so beautiful! You did a great job and I loved that you embraced your natural blush pattern!!
Thanks Christiania! I tried to make her recognizable as me and according to my kids, I did!
Her lips are literally so perfect oh my gosh!!!
Aww thank you! That makes me feel a lot better! ❤️❤️
She’s so beautiful!! I especially love the freckles!
Thank you so much! I’m definitely going to try this freckling technique on more customs. This was also one of my first times using liquid watercolor.
There’s no way I was going to bed without watching this video. You’re fantastic😍
Awww, that is so sweet of you! Thank you! ❤️

She is such a gorgeous custom. I hope you are happy with her soon.
Thank you!! I think maybe a bit of gloss on her lips might help.

She looks very pretty! Good job!
Thank you so much! ❤️
She looks amazing!! Maybe gloss on the lips could be an easy solve? How about Ava for a name? Has an Evelyn ring to it but not the same name
Thank you! I love those suggestions. Gloss might be just what she needs. And I love the name Ava.
Oh my gosh, she's perfection 😍😍😍
Thank you!! 🥰

@@EvelynRoseAG is your middle name Rose? She could be Rosella or something like that.
I decided on the name August for her - my birth month, and something unique and different.
@@EvelynRoseAG Oh, that's beautiful. She looks like an August. Lovely!
Wow you are so brave to try this. Great job! What a transformation. Mini you is very beautiful just like you. 😊
Thank you! It was frustrating at times but I had a lot of fun.
She's gorgeous! Absolutely amazing! You did an awesome job as always !
Aww thank you 🥹
Great job!!! She gave you a lot of trouble, huh? Josefina molds are a nightmare for eyeswaps I swear 😂
You could call her Evie or Evynn maybe? Or Little Lynn 😄
She sure did 😅 luckily my husband came over to rescue me. Also I quite like Evynn.. thank you for the suggestion!
I think you should name her based on her eye color. Maybe a gemstone like peridot? I like the name Aventurine, but I might use it, too:)
That’s a great idea! I wouldn’t have thought of that.
Thank you! The only reason I did was because I was studying gemstones in science class!
Very pretty! You did a great job on her lips. We can be so critical of our own work but you are very talented. You could call your mini-me 'Rose'. Just a thought...

Great job! Her eyes are beautiful! Where did you get those doll clothes she wore?
Thank you! The shirt is from an Etsy shop called Little Lavender Thread. It’s my favorite handmade top ever!
