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

Start with 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 her makeup, making sure to replace the pad generously to avoid spreading makeup residue onto your sex doll's face.

TPE sex dolls, typically, do not have on any foundation, 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, avoid using alcohol or harsh chemicals like nail polish remover or bleach.

Use Mineral Oil/Baby Oil

Alternatively, you can use mineral oil or baby oil. Fold a high-quality paper towel to create a straight edge, soak the end in mineral/baby oil, then wipe off your doll's makeup. For factory makeup, you may need to apply the oil several times. Be careful not to remove the factory eyebrows unless you're confident in your ability to redo them. After removing your doll's makeup, clean the area with a clean towel and oil again if necessary. Be careful not to over-oil your sex doll. It is recommended that you only oil your whole doll twice a year max.

Allow your doll to dry completely for 24-36 hours before reapplying cosmetics. If you try to reapply makeup immediately after removing your doll's old makeup 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 your doll (after you've finished applying her new makeup), 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 your dolls skin to prevent abrasions. Tap the brush sharply on the edge of a washbasin/sink to remove any excess powder then gently pat the powder onto your doll. If you make a mistake, don't worry. You can always repeat the above steps until you achieve the desired results.

Preserving The Factory Makeup On Your Sex Doll: Tips And Tricks

Most sex dolls come with factory makeup that gives them a beautiful, lifelike appearance. However, over time, the makeup can fade 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 achieve exactly that:

Avoid Using Baby Oil on the Face

While baby oil is an effective way to remove makeup from sex dolls, it can also remove factory makeup. If you want to preserve the factory makeup on your 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 oral penetration, can fade your love doll's makeup over time. To preserve her factory makeup, minimize touching as much as possible. If you plan to use your love doll frequently, consider learning how to reapply makeup.

Store Your Sex Doll Carefully

How you store your sex doll can also affect the longevity of her 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 items 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 could damage your sex doll or her factory makeup. Use a soft cloth and mild soap or TPE-safe cleaner to clean your sex doll's body and avoid getting her face wet.

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 are a few simple solutions to help you out:

Use Eyebrow Powder

Eyebrow powder is a great option. Mix the powder with a small amount of baby oil and apply it with a small makeup brush. The powder will be absorbed by the TPE and dry over time. If you make a mistake, simply wipe off the eyebrows with baby oil and start again.

Use An Eyebrow Pencil

You can also use an eyebrow pencil from your local pharmacy or supermarket. Choose a shade that matches your doll’s hair and skin tone. Check the eyebrows 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, use an eyebrow stamp and stencil. Apply the stamp to your doll’s eyebrows and press down to transfer the colour. You can also use an eyebrow pencil to fill in any areas needing extra colour, then apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to set your doll's new eyebrows.

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.

Understanding The Effect Of Mineral Oil Treatment On Your TPE Sex Doll's Colour

Applying mineral oil to a TPE sex doll can slightly darken her skin tone, but she should lighten up after a little powdering. 

If your sex dolls appear darker after mineral oil treatment, it may be due to dirt coming to surface from a lack of frequent cleaning or an excessively dusty environment. To avoid this, it is recommended to work the oil in to remove any excess dirt/dust. Regular cleaning can help maintain her colour.

How To Apply Makeup To Your TPE Sex Doll's Face And Nipples

For nipples, some people use removable markers 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 with a small brush instead.

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. 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 with lipstick or eyeshadow, then applied with a makeup brush.

Choosing Wigs For Your Sex Dolls

When selecting wigs:
Size: Ensure the wig fits your doll’s head size. Most wigs fit dolls above 140cm. 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 dolls 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 isn't a significant difference between a sex doll wig and any ordinary wig, but it is important to consider the size and fit when choosing a wig for your sex doll.

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.

Proceed with caution and any modifications are done at your own risk. If done correctly, piercings can be applied to various parts of your sex doll’s body, including the belly button, ears, pubic area, nose and nipples. Heavy piercings and metal earrings should be avoided, whereas small piercings with plastic backing are preferred.
