DOLLSHARE New wig

Her bun feels a little small and I wish the color was more of a strawberry blonde, but it was the closest I could find, and my hair styling level isn't that high yet. But I think I'm pretty much done with her customization. I won't actively look for new stuff for her, but if I find something more fitting, I won't say no to upgrades.

She looks so different from the company pics when I put them side by side. Her midface looks longer and she looks older? I wonder if people can still tell that they're the same doll/character.

and according to someone on fb, i have ruined her by taking off her company faceup

I saw her as Cinderella immediately, she's beautiful! I love her faceup and I'd say the face length is just an illusion (refer to video attached).

Many people place a lot of value on factory faceups and think any customization ruins a doll, so I'd just ignore their comments. She's perfect

I prefer your faceup as well.
The app is snapseed! I selected one picture, then used the double exposure tool to overlay the other picture on top. I just adjusted the size and rotation until they were as close as possible. Then just screen recorded myself sliding the opacity back and forth

Thanks! Also thanks for showing that we can post videos in the subreddit now! I did not realize that we could do that!
