The dolls shown on the website have been professionally photographed in a well-lit photographic studio using makeup artists, fashion and hair stylists that all contribute to elevating their look somewhat. Just like real models, in real life photo shoots, this is the doll looking their best... but who knows, maybe you could make it look even better! We’ve seen it happen.Your doll will generally arrive with slightly more natural semi-permanent make-up on and may have her hair out rather than in plats for example. Both of these you can easily upgrade or style yourself. There is a lot of great info online and on 'The Doll Forum' with make-up and styling tips so you can have fun experimenting. We recommend you do your research first on the best products to use to avoid staining, we don't endorse anyone in particular, but there are lots of great products out there. If makeup isn't your thing, it's really inexpensive and easy to buy an assortment of wigs to change your doll's style as quickly as you change your mood. Have a play around and experiment with a few different looks, it's incredible what a few small adjustments can do. What ever you do, have fun together!
