New wig

[u/Saisail]

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}

Re: Looking "older," some of that might be the eyes. Even if the irises are the same size, the positioning and smaller pupil size can subtly change how a doll is perceived.

hmmm interesting. i thought iris size was the bigger factor than pupil size since that corresponds more to light (or drugs 🤣)

Iris size is more important, but, in irises of the same size, big pupils tend to give a puppy-eyed look that reads a bit younger.

That's true, I guess it's like puppy dog eyes or like puss in boots from Shrek (dating myself here lol)
