How to Clean Your Doll's Makeup
Maintaining your TPE sex doll includes regularly removing her makeup. Here's some guidance from 76SexDollShop:
1. Use TPE-Safe makeup remover.
- First, choose a makeup remover specifically formulated for TPE material. Soak a cotton pad with the remover and gently press it onto the doll's face for a few seconds. Then, wipe away the makeup with a clean section of the pad.
- Important: Replace saturated cotton pads promptly. A dirty pad can spread makeup residue across the doll's face.
- Unlike real skin, TPE dolls have a naturally even complexion without blemishes. Therefore, foundation removal isn't necessary. Focus on removing eye shadow, blush, and lipstick.
2. Use mineral oil/baby oil.
- Fold a high-quality paper towel several times to create a straight edge for controlled application. Heavily saturate the folded end with mineral or baby oil. Wipe the oil across the desired TPE area for cleaning. Factory makeup might require repeated applications.
- Leave the factory eyebrows alone unless you're confident in recreating them. Simply clean around them carefully.
- After makeup removal, reclean the entire area with a fresh towel and oil using the same method.
- Allow the TPE to fully dry for 24-36 hours. It will feel slightly tacky afterwards.
- For reapplication of cosmetics: Skip the powder for now. Apply makeup and eyelashes (upper and lower, if desired) and allow them to set. If you're new to this, test all materials on a scrap piece of TPE (like an insert) to see how they work. You can also learn from YouTube tutorials; the process is similar.
- Finally, gently powder the doll using cornstarch and a large makeup brush. Apply with only the brush tip – avoid dragging the brush to prevent abrasion. Tap the brush against a sink to remove excess powder. Lightly repeat brushing with the empty brush for further removal.
- Made a mistake? No worries! Simply repeat the steps above.
Maintaining Factory Makeup on Dolls: Tips and Techniques
It's best to avoid using baby oil on the face of your doll as it will completely remove all makeup. Activities like kissing or using the doll's head can also quickly wear off the makeup. While makeup on these dolls can last, regular use will gradually remove it over time. Learn more about doll makeup techniques here.
How to Redo Eyebrows on Sex Dolls?
- Use powdered eyebrow makeup to redo your doll's eyebrows. Mix the powder with a small amount of baby oil and apply it gently with a small makeup brush. Allow time for the mixture to settle into the TPE material and dry. If you make a mistake, simply wipe off the eyebrows with baby oil and start over.
- Visit the makeup aisle of your local pharmacy and choose an eyebrow pencil in various shades. I regularly touch up my doll's eyebrows with a pencil every few days to maintain a fresh look.
- Consider using an eyebrow stamp or eyebrow wax paper. When I removed all of her original makeup and started anew, I found eyebrow stamps helpful. Nowadays, I prefer to use an eyebrow pencil to fill in the eyebrow color and then apply a bit of petroleum jelly for setting.
Effects of Mineral Oil Treatment on Dolls: What to Expect
- The doll doesn't usually darken permanently after a mineral oil treatment, but it may temporarily take on a different hue. This typically lightens again after applying powder.
- As the TPE doll dries, it may appear slightly lighter in color, but this usually returns to normal once you rehydrate the doll.
- If you notice a change in color, it could be due to inadequate cleaning or a dusty environment, causing dirt to surface after applying mineral oil. It's recommended to work the oil into the doll and remove any excess residue before lightly applying Vaseline petroleum jelly and allowing it to absorb overnight.
Guide to Applying Makeup on the Face and Nipples of Sex Dolls
- When applying makeup to the doll, I use a washable marker, ensuring to remove any excess ink, and then apply eyeshadow over the nipples. Similarly, I use lipstick for the lips.
- Personally, I prefer using powdered makeup and securing it with vaseline. Using a small brush or makeup applicator, I apply the makeup and gently rub a small amount of vaseline into the nipples (for TPE dolls only). After allowing it to dry, I've found that the color can last for several months or longer. For the lips, I apply lipstick with a small makeup brush and, once dry, apply clear lip gloss for added shine.
- For glossy lips, you can mix a small amount of clear lip gloss with the lipstick on the brush or applicator before application.
Comparison Between Sex Doll Wigs and Regular Wigs
- Most wigs are designed to fit all dolls above size 140cm. Smaller dolls with smaller heads may require a smaller wig or a fitting band to secure the wig. It's advisable to check the specific details provided by the wig brand.
- Ensure you use a wig cap and opt for wigs designed for smaller head sizes. If the website where you purchased the doll from also sells wigs, you can order directly from there.
- A fitting band typically consists of hooks that connect underneath the elastic band to provide a tighter fit (not all wigs include this feature). Some hooks are used to attach the wig to hair clips or loops along the underside for added security.
Can I apply some piercings to the body of my TPE sex doll?
TPE material is generally accommodating for piercings, depending on their type and placement. You can puncture this material, and once a piercing is removed, the hole typically becomes unnoticeable. However, it's crucial to prevent piercings from snagging on items like bedsheets, clothing, sofa fabrics, or carpets.
During vigorous activities with your love doll, if a piercing catches on something, it might tear the TPE. So do it at your own risk.
I have personally added multiple piercings to my doll, including the belly button, ears, pubic area, nose, nipples, and temples. These piercings can be removed without leaving visible marks. It's advisable to use small, lightweight piercings and opt for plastic whenever possible to minimize any potential risks associated with heavy metal piercings.
