This is probably a really stupid question, but I was wondering how I put eyelashes on dolls?

I don't wear makeup in real life, so I've got no idea how to do it. I tried it sticking them on the doll once, but the eyelashes just ended up curling into where the eye was supposed to be.

Would it also be a good idea to put dark coloured eyelashes on a light skinned/haired/eyed doll? Or should I get eyelashes of a lighter colour?

Help and/or answers would be greatly appreciated. heart

Generally when I put eyelashes on a doll I match them to the eyelashes that are painted on the bottom.

To make sure that they stay in place I use WHITE CRAFT GLUE to glue the base of the lashes to the INSIDE of the upper eyelid, curving upward.

Thanks for the tip. 3nodding I'm a little scared of messing up, so I haven't tried it yet.

Still gotta get a brush thin enough to paint on the bottom eyelashes.

awesome. Generally I find the brush doesn't neccesarily have to be thin thin thin if you thin the paint enough and are delicate.

I need to put eyelashes back on 3 of my dolls. Would those fake human eyelashes work if I cut them the right size? I also heard you can tape them in... but wouldn't the putty pull the tape off? I think the craft glue is a better idea.

I don't personally like human sized lashes in dolls. I had them in one of my boys for a while and found them to be too dense and too big. I reccomend getting doll sized ones so that you can just apply rather than having to cut, thin, etc.

Alright. I'll look on eBay first. I'm pretty sure you can find almost anything there. ^_^;
