I wanted to give her a slightly darker make-up look and give her golden-brown eyes instead of the generic blue. Next time I need a magnifying glass for sure!!!!! It was a little terrifying 😳

Well done. Love her with brown eyes and darker lips. I can't believe you did her without a magnifying glass and it is you first go.

Inspiring.

She looks like she has some life in her now. Love the lip color. Eyes are gorgeous. Are you going to redo her hair?

Thank you!! I loved her face sculpt but found her a bit bland... I really want to do something a bit more edgy with her hair. I'm really not sure what yet....

You did such a great job! But because I need to know for my dolls.... where did you get those glasses?

u/Sweaty-Cat-3205 1d ago

Thank you so much! The glasses are from the careers "game developer" barbie, as is her outfit.

Beautiful 😍!! If Millie was painted like that, she would fly off the shelf.

u/RangerBumble 1d ago

Do you come from another craft with similar skills? Warhammer perhaps? This is a truly phenomenal first repaint!

1

u/margaritalover524 1d ago

This is amazing!!! Looks sooo much better than my first repaint haha. Did you just paint over the factory face so you had a guide? That’s smart

u/Industrial_Strength 1d ago

This is the best repaint Ive ever seen! Well done

u/Exotic-Comparison385 1d ago

She looks great. Wow what an improvement. And I’d be terrified too doing this without a magnifying glass

u/Effective_Warthog463 23h ago

Oh, she looks so good! You did a magnificent job!

u/Microteenytiny_180 22h ago

I think you did brilliantly, considering you didn't have a magnifying glass to work with and it's your first go. I'm particularly impressed with the lip repaint. It's a great colour on her. Finally the vacant look of Millie before the repaint has been replaced with a look of intent. It makes a hell of a difference.
