HOW TO: make your face more realistic with Hair Design

Hey dolls, today I'm going to give you some tips on how to make your medoll's face more realistic by using hair designs. This is how I do it, but of course there are more ways to do it. For example, check out this tutorial on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82EkrFx2GFw

This is the difference between a face without hair design and with hairdesign:

Some prefer the clean version, I prefer the version with all my touch ups. When I try to make my face more realistic, I use make up first. Then I will add extra shadows and highlights with hair design. These are the things I'll add:

When you are in Hair Design, first add some highlights (lighter spots) in your face, this will create more dimension. The red dots on my medoll's face are the spots I will highlight. To do this, I use the round hairpiece, that looks like wool. [click on the images to enlarge them]

Change the color to white and make the hairpiece more transparent. Please note: the color of the highlights and the level of transparency are different for other skin tones.

Once you've added all the highlights to the face, you can start on the cheekbones. I use a different hairpiece and color for this:

Use the same hairpiece with the same color to create shadows on the side of your face, but make them more transparent:

To make shadows around your nose, use the round wool-looking hairpiece again. Use a darker color than before. Use it on both sides of your nose.

If you want to, you can add a red shade to your cheekbones.

You can also add extra shadow around the corners of your eyes.

When you've done all that, this is the result! It will cost around 17sd.
