BEFORE AND AFTER

Back in March another Sasha collecter showed a photo of her Sasha that she'd painted the lips on.
I thought that the colour was lovely and did give the Sasha a different look.
Renate very kindly said I could show you the before and after photo's.



A beautiful face .



The after with the lips painted in a deep colour. Although some may say they should be left  alone, some times they can be painted badly and in a terrible colour, Here personally I think Renate has done a lovely job and I love the colour and look this as given this girl.

    What a difference. Her eyes even look different. I really have to study the pictures very carefully to convince myself it is the same girl. Very lovely and soulful.

      I believe that the eye's were not touched just the lips but it makes such a difference to the look of the Sasha.

    I have to say that I think she's beautiful with her new lips. She was lovely before but I am not a great lover of the look of lips when they've oxidised, so this for me is a really lovely new look for her.
    I think she's a gorgeous looking doll and this just makes her even prettier.
    Hugs Sharon x

      I agree Sharon, I think she looks really nice with her new colour lips.

    I agree Dee and Sharon - but have fallen foul of a Sasha purist before, for saying I liked another doll with beautifully enhanced lips . However, I am not going to keep quiet just because somebody else thinks they are more knowledgeable or have a greater right to an opinion. I think she looks great and, surprisingly, the new lips really seem to make her eyes look even more beautiful too.
    I have a lovely brunette girl but her lips are putty coloured and I wish I was brave enough to repaint them. She would be gorgeous if she didn't look like an escapee from the early 70s - who remembers white lipstick? And we thought we looked so good.....!

      That's right Jenann you have a right to your opinion! And if you are no going to sell your brunette , then remove her putty lips and paint them! I too think the putty lips can detract from a sasha ,To me It's the eye's that I feel should not be painted unless there is a problem but then others would disagree with that statement and so they can.
      I am pleased to say I never wwnt in for the white lips look in the 70's..Lol

    Ah, Dee!

    I tried the white lipstick thing in the dead of winter when I was already a little pale and pasty looking - definitely looked like one of the undead! Another disaster that I wore with enthusiasm was loons - the hugely wide denims that were fashionable when I was in college - being short, I must have looked really stumpy, despite weighing less than 7 stone back then!

    Thank goodness Sashas wear what their mums approve of! LOL

    I've been looking at my brunette girl again - I know why I dislike the pale, putty-like lips now - she looks quite sickly. She either needs a course of antibiotics followed by a better diet or a touch of lipstick.

    The re-painted lips look lovely and make a fantastic difference. But how easy is this to do? For example, I guess you remove the old oxidised paint (with what?), but then what do you use?

      I emailed Renate and she said she did not remove paint just painted over top with acrylic paint Liquitex which you can mix and can be removed with Alcohol.
      I would not paint a Np's lips but I would remove and maybe repaint a less expensive sasha's lips, or even just remove the putty colour and see what it looks like with no colour!

    Renate --love the way you have painted the lips on your Sasha!You do have a special touch with your Sashas when they have been abused or "over loved" by some small child.

    Thanks for sharing!

    This doll certainly looks like she is a 'Kendal-must-have-doll!'
    Shall I send you my address just in case she needs to ever find a new home?????
