Take off any makeup you are wearing with makeup remover. Then, wash your face with soap and warm water and gently pat your face dry with a towel. Use a headband or clips to hold back your hair—you don’t want your hair to get in the way. Choose the right moisturizer lotion for your skin type and apply it to your face. This will smooth out any dry patches and create an even surface for makeup application. A doll’s eyes are exaggerated in size and color, so you may want to enhance the color or look of your eyes. If you want defined irises (the colored section of your eye), find a contact lens that creates a dark circle around the iris. These are usually called "circle lenses." Novelty contact lenses can be purchased without a prescription.  Choose your lenses based on the look you want. Novelty lenses also come in heightened colors (like blue, green, purple, or gold-brown). Put in your lenses before you put on your eye makeup. You don't want to have any smudges! Create the base for the rest of your makeup. Choose a concealer that is one shade lighter than your skin tone. Carefully apply the concealer around your eyes, nose, and cover any dark spots and blemishes on your face. Repeat this step two more times, making sure to blend the concealer really well. Blending is the only way to create an even, smooth layer. Use a powder that matches your natural skin tone; lightly apply the powder by gently blotting your face with a fluffy applicator. Many powders come with an applicator. Do not rub the powder in—you want to maintain a light look. You want the powder to be seen as this is what creates doll-like skin. This is the most important step of looking like a doll because dolls most notably have large, deep-set eyes. You can create the same look using makeup, even if your eyes aren't very large or deep-set naturally.  Take a light eye shadow color in a pinky color and apply this all over your eyelids to the bottoms of your eyebrows. Then use a reddish-brown shade of eye shadow and apply it to the outer corner of your eyelids. Make sure to blend your eye shadow. You can do this using your fingers or a small brush. After you’ve applied the darker shade of eye shadow, use lip liner or eyeliner to line your lower eyelid. (The liner should be roughly the same color as the darker eye shadow.) Starting at the middle of your lower eyelid, apply the liner just under the lashes, and move the liner towards the outer corner of your eye. Lightly blend the liner outwards. Use the same liner to draw a line in the crease of your upper lid. Lightly blend. (Tip: If you don't have a defined lid crease, you can create one.) Apply a dark shade of mascara to your upper and lower eyelashes. You will need to apply quite a bit in order to get the lashes thick and long. Apply false eyelashes. Choose a pair of lashes with a lot of lashes, but makes sure they’re not too long. You want to bulk up your eyelashes, but you don’t want them to be distracting. Apply the lashes to your top eyelids. If you're hesitant about using fake eyelashes, you can also draw on fake lower lashes with a liquid line. Just draw little wisps below your eyelid. Define and shape your eye brows with an eyebrow gel or liner. In this case, it's perfectly acceptable for eyebrow to look draw on because that's how dolls look! Use a light colored pink or orange-y blush, smile, and apply the blush to the tops of your cheeks. Next, apply the blush upwards from the tops of your cheeks to your hairline. Softly apply a bronzer around the sides of your face. Bronzer helps contour your face and make your cheekbones appear more chiseled.  You can make your nose look narrower by using the bronzer along the sides of your nose. You could also add freckles with a brown eyeliner. Use a neutral, dark lip liner and apply to your outer lips. Next, use a brighter liner to fill in your lips. Blend these two colors together, making sure that some of the darker liner remains—you want definition! Finally, apply a pink, red or sheer lipgloss, depending on the color you want. This will really make your lips shine!

Summary: Start with a clean face. Moisturize. Put in novelty contact lenses. Use concealer. Powder your face. Apply your eye makeup. Fill in your eyebrows. Create rosy cheeks. Warm up and define your features. Make those lips pop.


Apply the glue and trim to 1 side of the label at a time. If you are decorating the front label, consider doing 3 rows of rhinestone trim. Use a thin trim for the first and third rows, and a larger trim for the middle row. Use a thin, simple trim for the back label. You don't have to use rhinestones for the middle row. Try pearls or even studs! Some bottles have a round stamp or seal near the top, right between the neck and label. Choose a large rhinestone, then glue it right over the stamp or seal. Glue 1 to 2 rows of tiny rhinestones around the larger one for a fancier look.  The large rhinestone should be large enough to cover the stamp or seal. For more variation, use tiny pearls for the first row, and silver rhinestones for the second row. If all of your rhinestones are the same shape, size, and color, your bottle may look monotonous. Give the bottle a quick coat of a clear-drying glue or spray sealer, then shake some glitter onto it. This works especially well over smooth, pearl trims.  If you are using spray sealer, it must be glossy, or you will dull down the rhinestones. Use glitter that is the same color as your rhinestones to help blend it in some more. Extra-fine glitter will look pretty, but you can use chunky glitter instead, or even a combination of both! If you covered your entire bottle with rhinestones, it may look a little monotonous. Let the bottle dry first, then add larger rhinestones, gemstones, or flat-backed pearls on top. Use these sparingly; do not cover the entire bottle with these. This works especially well over a pearl trim. The rhinestones will help add some texture. Cut a length of ribbon and tie it into a bow. Glue the bow to the neck of bottle, then cut the tails of the bow into angles. Glue a fancy gemstone or brooch to the center of the bow for a more detailed touch.
Summary: Outline labels with rhinestone trim for a fancier touch. Glue large, fancy rhinestones over round stamps or seals. Break up monotony and add texture with glitter. Layer larger gems and rhinestones over tiny ones. Add an accessory, such as a bow, if desired.
