How to apply make up on a sexdoll

Applying make-up on a sex doll is best done using water-based or powder-based products. Do not use oil-based make-up, as this can damage the doll.

Work clean, in layers, and use a reference look you can imitate.

 

Tips for beginners

✅ Start with powders, these are easier to apply and remove.
✅ Use soft brushes and cotton swabs for details.
✅ Work in thin layers to avoid blotches.
✅ Look for reference images or tutorials to copy styles.
🚫 Do not use your fingers while applying (can leave marks).
🚫 Avoid liquid foundation and eyeliner.

 

Step 1: Preparing the doll

• Clean the doll’s face with mild soap and a soft microfiber cloth.
• Avoid harsh chemicals such as alcohol, nail polish remover, or bleach.
• Let the face air dry completely.
• For TPE dolls, you can use a little baby oil/mineral oil to gently remove old make-up or greasy residues with a cotton swab or cloth.

 

Step 2: Preparing the make-up kit

Always use powder or water-based make-up. Avoid oil-based products (they can seep into TPE and leave stubborn stains).

Recommended basic kit:

• Eyeshadow palette (large & small)
• Set of make-up brushes (various sizes)
• Lipstick (water-based, applied with a small brush). You can also use eyeshadow (powder) and apply it on the lips – often easier for beginners.
• Eyebrow pencil
• False eyelashes + glue (optional)
• Blush/bronzer in powder form
• Cotton swabs and soft cloths (alcohol-, oil- and silicone-free)

 

Step 3: Face shape and blush

• Foundation is unnecessary and a waste of money – the doll’s skin is already smooth and even.
• Use a soft powder blush to subtly accentuate cheekbones and contours.
• Always work in thin layers and blend with a soft brush.

 

Step 4: Eye make-up

• Start with a light base color of eyeshadow over the entire eyelid.
• Then add a darker shade in the crease for depth.
• For a soft look, use a cotton swab to create a smoky effect.
• Avoid liquid eyeliner or oily pencils – they can stain or seep into TPE.

💡 Tip: If you want, you can remove the eyes from the doll beforehand to avoid smudging.

 

Applying false eyelashes:

• Try them on dry first and shorten if needed for the right length.
• Apply a thin layer of lash glue to the band.
• Use tweezers to carefully place them.
• Press lightly until they stick firmly.

 

Step 5: Lips

• First clean the lips with a cloth and remove powder residue.
• Use a small brush to outline the shape.
• Fill in the lips with thin layers of water-based lipstick, or use powdered eye make-up – easier to remove if mistakes happen.
  • Don't use normal lipstick because it will smudge and it is often oil-based, beginners should prefer using eyeshadow as a lipstick
• Let the first layer dry, then apply a second thin layer for a fuller effect.
• Optional: add a little water-based lip gloss for shine.

 

Step 6: Eyebrows

• Use an eyebrow pencil or powder for light accents.
• Follow the natural shape or use a stencil for symmetry.
• Remember that eyebrows strongly influence facial expression.

 

Step 7: Nails (optional)

• Use regular nail polish or press-on nails.
• Make sure the nails are clean and short before starting.
• Press-on nails are convenient if you want to change styles often.

 

Step 8: Finishing touch

• Check if all colors are well blended.
• Use a soft brush to sweep away excess powder.
• You can use a thin layer of Vaseline to make the make-up last longer.
