Gloss for Lips Question
Hi
I am new to claying and am going to try my hand at making a doll. I am seeking like advice on lipstick. I would like the lips to have a glossy sheen. From reading past posts on gloss in this group I understand that Rustoleum Clear Gloss is a choice but has a long drying time. Any other suggestions? As far as getting the lips pink, is arcylic paint the best choice? Another person recommended just using pink chalk and sealing it with a gloss (but didn't state which gloss). Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! Rachel in Florida |

I have used a coat of Future floor acrylic on lips and eyes for a natural

Rachel in Florida Hi Rachel, I just recently bought and started experimenting with the product 'Diamond Glaze' so I haven't tried it on clay yet, nor read anything about how well it works (lasts, etc.) But I know it is very glossy/wet-looking and you can tint it with dye reinkers --the kind used for rubber stamping. Also, I hear that 'Crystal Lacquer' comes in colors and should give a similar wet appearance. I'm sure there are some experienced sculpting clayers here who can help you more, but I thought I'd mention this product since it came to mind! :-) Regards, lisa in SC |

Hi! I use Flecto Varathane in the gloss, either over acrylic paints or mixed
with. Works like a charm. Use it straight for wet eyeballs, use it with a little red and in a drybrush sort of way to apply chhek color, rub off with finger to smudge it in nicely. The Flecto goes into the clay and the paint won't come off easily. www.polyclay.com/flecto.htm Sarajane Sarajane's Polymer Clay Gallery http://www.polyclay.com |
