Lipcolor Pencils for Vinyl Dolls ~ 23 Colors!

SAFE & EASY COLORS ~
REBORNS AS ART OR PLAY ?
Other people want to make a Reborn doll for their children or grandchildren. In that case, we recommend the lipcolor pencils. The colors are so safe you can put them in your mouth (that's what they're made for.) And, the color selection makes it possible to customize the doll so it's very pretty and realistic.
INEXPENSIVE, APPROPRIATE COLORS ~
NON-TOXIC ~ Because the Reborn art is a "hands-on" type of art, it's important to know that the pigments you work with are non-toxic. Artists have been known to develop health problems and even nerve damage due to exposure to toxic pigments in their paint. YES, the lipcolor pencils are NON-TOXIC.
COMPATIBLE ~
Our lipcolor pencils can be used with other brands, including your favorite colors from your makeup box.
COLOR SELECTION ~
I've had a very hard time finding my favorite lipcolor pencils in stores. It's almost impossible to find the lovely shades of red and pink that I want. So we are very happy to be able to FINALLY offer this wonderful selection of colors, because we need them too! BLENDING & SHADING ~ I like to use several colors on Reborns. The doll's skintone looks better if you mix colors, rather than using the same color all over. For example, Cabernet makes a good undertone. You can brighten some areas with Fuschia highlights. Use your favorite colors to make your own unique look. The results are not garish, in fact these colors are very subtle unless they are applied heavily (which I don't recommend.) Sometimes the best results are accomplished with understatements. An artist does not use one color alone on his paintings. In the same way, the skin tone of the Berenguers does benefit from artistic blending. At this time I haven't sorted out which ones are my favorites. It's important to have a dark red such as burgundy or cabernet. Brick red is terrific for AA blushing. Fuschia is lovely when used carefully for highlights. I also like rose and mauve for mixing and blending. TRUE RED ~ True Red is the all time favorite staple color... you definitely need a true red such as FOREVER RED or SEXY RED on the list below. True Red is the perfect color for most VINTAGE vinyl dolls from the 50's and 60's, although I do use pink and fuschia on them sometimes depending on what the original blush color was like. We have a colors that are not for blushtones (such as blue and brown.) We need to experiment with these colors yet to see if they work well on vinyl. I'm especially pleased with the blue Viola pencil: I think it might work for veining. DRYING & CURING ~ As with all paints on vinyl, the lipcolors will soak in and take some time to dry and cure. Within two or three weeks you will notice that the colors brighten up a lot. After that they settle down and tone down as they dry and stabilize. Although the curing time may take many weeks, the doll can be handled during this time. The lipcolors do dry within a day or two. Keep in mind that the colors will intensify somewhat after they are applied, so you may want to be cautious now, and touch up a bit later if you think more color is needed in some areas. Disclaimer: The methods for making Reborn vinyl dolls are experimental. We try to offer the best materials that are available. Some of our selections are offered at customers' requests. We cannot make any guarantees or warrantees about results, partly because methods and results are in your hands. And, the long term affects of these colors on vinyl are not yet known. Therefore, use of these products is subject to your own discretion and your own risk. |
