American Girl Rehab

I've had this fixer upper American Girl for quite some time now... over a year. And barely now am I doing anything with her. I think if anything I was afraid to.

Here's her "before"

 

And trust me, this is after quite a lot of work was done to her... she once had a yellow tipped nose (in the end I had to just sand it off- you can't really tell in photos, thank goodness) and she has a brand new wig (her previous one was cut in a bob that wasn't working in any way :|).

My main focus on the make over was her makeup. Her upper lip was more or less gone. I applied acrylic paint that didn't 100% match her old look, but then that was greatly faded as it was and not a good benchmark. I also applied some chalk pastel blush (that is not and won't be sealed... I'm having/ have dealt with sealant and vinyl in the past and have had too man bad experiences with the stuff to ever want to risk it again).

 

Hmm... should the inside of her mouth be painted darker or not at all? The color looks too opaque and  pink... I think if I ever try it again, I'll have to get more supplies to help with thinning the paint. But all in all, I think she came out ok.
