1) How to Effectively Remove Makeup from Your TPE Sex Doll?

Keeping your TPE sex doll clean and well-maintained is essential to extend her lifespan and ensure she always looks her best. Removing makeup from your sex doll's face can be a challenging task, especially if you're not sure how to go about it. Below are two effective methods you can use to remove makeup from your TPE sex doll:

Use TPE-Safe Makeup Remover
The first step in removing makeup from your TPE sex doll is to use a TPE-safe makeup remover. Soak a cotton pad with the makeup remover and place it on your sex doll's face for a few seconds. Gently wipe off the makeup using the cotton pad, making sure to replace the saturated pad generously to avoid spreading makeup residue onto your sex doll's face. Keep in mind that TPE sex dolls typically do not have foundation on their faces, so you generally only need to focus on removing eye makeup (generally eye shadow), blush, and lipstick. Some manufacturers will gift a TPE-safe makeup remover with purchases. If not, you can buy a TPE makeup remover online. 

To reiterate, it is recommended that you purchase makeup remover specially formulated for silicone/TPE sex dolls and not just any old makeup remover from your local beauty shop. Furthermore, don't use alcohol or harsh chemicals to remove makeup, such as nail polish remover or bleach.

Use Mineral Oil/Baby Oil
Another effective way to remove makeup from your TPE sex doll is to use mineral oil or baby oil. Start by folding a high-quality paper towel several times to create a straight edge that allows you to control where the oil goes. Soak the end of the folded towel in the oil and wipe it across the area of the TPE you want to clean. For factory makeup, you may need to apply the oil several times. Be careful not to remove the factory eyebrows unless you know you can do better. Once you have removed your love doll’s makeup, clean the entire area again with a clean towel and oil using the same method. Be careful not to over-oil your sex doll. It is recommended that you only oil your whole doll 3-4 times a year max.

After removing the makeup, allow your TPE doll to dry completely for about 24-36 hours. You may notice that the TPE feels slightly tacky to the touch. If you plan to reapply cosmetics to the area, do not powder it at this point. Instead, apply the cosmetics, including upper and lower eyelashes, and allow them to set. To avoid making mistakes, test all makeup on some scrap TPE like an insert to see how they apply. You can also watch YouTube makeup tutorial videos to learn more about the application process from beauty influencers and makeup artists.

When you're ready to powder the area, use corn starch or baby powder and a large makeup brush, such as a blush brush. Only use the tips of the brush hairs and avoid dragging the brush across the TPE to prevent abrasions. Tap the brush sharply on the edge of a washbasin/sink to remove any excess powder and lightly repeat the brushing on your sex doll with another brush to remove any loose powder. If you make a mistake, don't worry. You can always repeat the above steps until you achieve the desired results.

2) Preserving the Factory Makeup on Your Sex Doll: Tips and Tricks

Many TPE sex dolls come with factory makeup that gives them a beautiful, lifelike appearance. However, over time, the makeup can fade or be removed with regular use, leaving your sex doll looking naked (in a bad way). If you want to preserve the factory makeup on your sex doll, here are some tips and tricks to keep in mind.

Avoid Using Baby Oil on the Face
While baby oil is an effective way to remove makeup from TPE sex dolls, it can also remove factory makeup. If you want to preserve the factory makeup on your realistic female sex dolls, avoid using baby oil or any other oil-based products on your sex doll’s face.

Minimize Touching and Use
Regular use, such as kissing or using your love doll's head, can remove the makeup from your TPE love doll over time. To preserve the factory makeup, minimize touching and use as much as possible. If you plan to use your love doll frequently, consider removing the makeup and applying makeup of your own for a longer-lasting effect.

Store Your Sex Doll Carefully
How you store your TPE sex doll can also affect the longevity of the factory makeup. Make sure to keep your sex doll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity. Avoid storing your sex doll with other objects that may rub against your sex doll’s face and remove her makeup.

Clean Your Love Doll Carefully
When cleaning your love doll, be gentle and avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the TPE or your love doll’s factory makeup. Use a soft cloth and mild soap or TPE-safe cleaner to clean your love doll's body and avoid getting her face wet.

By following these tips and tricks, you can help preserve the factory makeup on your TPE sex doll for a longer-lasting, lifelike appearance.

3) Redoing the Eyebrows on Your TPE Sex Doll

The eyebrows are an essential feature of your TPE sex doll's face that can enhance her expression and overall look. If you want to redo your sex doll's eyebrows for a new, fresh appearance, here is a simple guide to help you out.

Use Eyebrow Powder
Eyebrow powder is an effective way to make up your sex doll's eyebrows. Mix the powder with a small amount of baby oil and apply it with a small makeup brush. After a while, the powder will be absorbed by the TPE and dry. If you mess up the painting, just wipe the eyebrows off with some baby oil and start over.

Use An Eyebrow Pencil
You can also pick up an eyebrow pencil from the makeup section of your local pharmacy or supermarket. Choose a shade or colour that matches your sex doll's hair and skin tone. Check your sex doll's eyebrows with the pencil every few days to keep them fresh and fill in any gaps or uneven areas.

Try An Eyebrow Stamp And Stencil
If you're not confident in your painting skills, you can try using an eyebrow stamp and stencil. Apply the stamp or wax paper to your doll's eyebrows and gently press down to transfer the colour onto your sex doll’s face. Alternatively, you can use an eyebrow pencil to fill in any areas that need extra colour, then apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to fix the eyebrows in place.

Overall, there are different methods you can use to redo the eyebrows on your TPE sex doll. Whether you choose to use eyebrow powder, an eyebrow pencil, or an eyebrow stamp and stencil, make sure to take your time and be gentle with the application. Practice on a small area or spare TPE inserts to perfect your technique before trying it on your sex doll's face.

4) Understanding the Effect of Mineral Oil Treatment on Your TPE Sex Doll's Colour

Applying mineral oil to a TPE sex doll may result in a slightly different hue, but this should lighten again after powdering.
Once your sex doll is re-hydrated, any slight colour change due to mineral oil treatment should return to normal.
If your realistic female sex dolls appear darker after mineral oil treatment, it may be due to dirt coming to the surface from a lack of frequent cleaning or an excessively dusty environment. To avoid this, it is recommended to work the oil in, remove any excess oil and dirt/dust, then apply a light layer of petroleum jelly, allowing it to absorb overnight.

5) How To Apply Makeup to Your TPE Sex Doll's Face and Nipples

For nipples, some people use a removable marker to outline them (I don't recommend using markers as they can seep into your doll's material and smudge overtime). I recommend applying eye shadow instead. Similarly, eyeshadow or lipstick can be applied to the lips with the same technique and a small brush.

Powder makeup can also be used, with a small brush or applicator, followed by a dab of Vaseline, setting power, or setting spray to fix colouring (for TPE dolls only). This method can result in long-lasting colour for several months or more. Lipstick can be applied with a small makeup brush and then clear lip gloss can be added for shine.

To achieve glossy lips, a small amount of clear lip gloss can be mixed into the lipstick on the brush or applicator.

6) Choosing Wigs For Your Sex Dolls

Size: Most wigs should fit sex dolls above 140cm in size. Smaller dolls with smaller heads may require a smaller wig or a fit band to tighten the wig.

Wig Cap: Use a wig cap to help keep the wig in place. Look for wigs that are designed for your sex doll’s head size or check if the website where you purchased your doll sells wigs. For easy comparison, you can remove the wig from your doll's head to compare to new potential wigs.

Fit Band: Some wigs come with a fit band that attaches to the underside of the elastic band, providing a tighter fit. This may be necessary for smaller dolls or those with smaller heads. The hooks on the fit band can be used to attach the wig to hair clips or loops along the underside.

Overall, there is not a significant difference between a sex doll wig and an ordinary wig, but it is important to consider the size and fit when choosing a wig for a sex doll. You don’t want to go for something too tight.

7) How To Safely Apply Piercings To Your TPE Sex Doll

TPE material is generally forgiving to piercings, but the nature and location of the piercing should be considered. It's essential to avoid getting the piercings caught in anything during use, such as bed sheets, clothing material, or carpets, as this may cause permanent tears in your sex doll’s TPE material.

It's important to note that heavy piercings and metal earrings should be avoided, whereas small piercings with plastic backing are preferred.

If done correctly, piercings can be applied to various parts of your sex doll’s body, including the belly button, ears, pubic area, nose, nipples, and temples. However, it's essential to proceed with caution and understand that any modifications are done at your own risk.

If you do decide to apply piercings to your sex doll, it's crucial to ensure they are removed carefully to avoid any damage to your sex doll’s delicate TPE skin.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, caring for and maintaining a sex doll requires some effort and attention to detail. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations to ensure the longevity of the sex doll. Regular cleaning, applying mineral oil, and preserving makeup are some of the important steps to keep your sex doll looking fresh and new. Additionally, using appropriate products for your sex doll's body and avoiding harsh chemicals or rough handling is crucial to prevent damage or discoloration. With proper care, your sex doll can provide years of pleasure and companionship.


As a final note, if you are planning to apply your own makeup to your sex doll to change the look of your doll, we recommend that you specify "no makeup" in your order notes. Liquid eyeliner and powdered cosmetics, such as blushes, powder foundations, eye shadows, etc, work very well on dolls from SxDolled. However, cream/oil-based makeup, such as liquid foundation, won't disperse well on silicone and TPE will even absorb it. Eyebrow pencils and lipstick can be applied with reasonable effectiveness, but these cosmetics will rub off easily.
