Paint Doll Dress Up: Makeup Game

Paint Doll Dress Up: Makeup Game starts tight on a doll's face, close enough to see individual lashes, with a small tool tray along one edge. Your first tap is usually a foundation shade, and the skin tone shifts across the whole face at once. From there the face becomes a canvas built up layer by layer, and each product stays visible under the next instead of getting covered over.

The toolkit runs through the usual stages: foundation and concealer, eyeshadow in a strip of small pots, eyeliner in a couple of thicknesses, mascara, blush, and a row of lipstick swatches from a sheer gloss to a matte deep red. Brows, lashes, and face gems usually sit in a tab near the end, since they go on last. Everything layers in order, so a heavy contour under sheer blush looks different from blush applied onto bare skin.

As a makeover game, this one puts almost all its attention on the face instead of splitting time evenly with clothes, so small tools like brow shape and liner thickness get more options than a typical wardrobe tab would. A round ends once you're satisfied with the finished face, and you can snap a close-up photo of the doll to hold onto or compare against an earlier attempt.

Build the base first and hold off on lipstick until last, since a bold lip color reads differently once blush and eyeshadow are already in place. Keep eyeliner thin on the first pass and add a second, heavier line only if the look needs more definition, since thick liner is hard to soften once it's down. The brush size selector sits off to the side of the main tray, so check for it before deciding one brush size is all you get.
