Minimalism is IN !


Featuring models Evita.Sweet and Tschutschu.


Some medolls have their wardrobes filled with the latest trends and colorful items, others have enough make-up to paint a rainbow on their faces, yet a few of them prefer a discrete type of outfit and/or makeup. They opt for elegance in black and white. Minimalism.

Evita.Sweet's medoll looks as gorgeous as she looks simple. Notice the only accessory she's wearing is LE's Circle Sash belt, a detailed, original belt, which was part of the latest Limited Edition collection.

The ruffles on her shirt add an elaborate touch to an otherwise simple outfit.


She proves that in order to compose a beautiful and distinct outfit, you don't have to layer exhaustively and over accessorize. In fact, you can do the contrary ! 
Just focus on the balance of shapes, textures and tonalities to compose your outfit. Play with length like Evita.Sweet!

Her black and white minimal make-up is similar to Tschutschu's, whose geometrical, yet folk-ish dressing style somewhat contrasts with the makeup she's wearing.


Both of them look classy without being overdone. You can either choose minimalism all the way or, if you prefer, you can always contrast a minimalist make-up with a bolder accessorizing style.


And remember, working with neutral colors is ideal for beginners to start composing their outfits !

ffashionstarr's makeover


ffashionstarr is the model this time.

Her style was elegant and simple. I went for a peachy look (for the sake of being different), a bit more elaborate and tried to keep her chic appearance.

dodora121's makeover








Model is
dodora121. What do you think?

I went for a natural look, with pink blush and white eyeshadow used not as a color, but a highlight. Applied to her cheekbones and upper lids.

How To Wear Your LIMITED EDITION





Hello everyone! So now you bought all these cute DESIGNER pieces, that look gorgeous on your doll and are really really well digitally designed by stardoll.com
They're gorgeous, RARE and EXPENSIVE. But, how to make them look as valuable as their price?

Below, I will give you some advice on HOW TO WEAR YOUR LE.
















Okay, so this is stardoll.com/Daphne70, my doll. Doesn't she look great? :P
Here are a few unwritten rules I've followed to make her look this way:

1) You've bought SEVERAL gorgeous pieces and want the world to know about it, but, truth be told, the best way to do this is NOT by having your doll wearing them ALL at the same time.
Combine your LE with other pieces that look simpler, for a better result.



2) Follow strictly the "main piece rule". Choose one of your LE pieces and build the outfit around it.
Here I've picked the Oversized Bow Party Dress and the accessories I've chosen were all meant to bring out the best in it.
Notice how I'm wearing a bow necklace that matches the dress' drapery (shape and texture).



3) Make sure to place your doll in a pretty fashionable room.
Don't fill your suite with penguins and other cheap eccentric objects !

It's good to have some of favorite clothes and/or accessories (LE, why not?) on display, but leave room for your doll.
Leave some space around your doll for the outfit to be seen.
Rooms cluttered with DKNY can be messy and will make the outfit you're wearing look more vulgar than an almost empty fashion room.



4) Your doll's make-up and hairstyle should match the outfit and, if possible, bring a new dimension to it. This might seem obvious, but I mean it.
Not only the colors, but the STYLE of make-up you go for as well.



5) Enjoy you LE! Be creative and have fun.

Remember, your dolls can be characters: the socialite, the model, the conservative girl, etc.
The possibilities are endless and the funniest thing about stardoll is to be able to experiment with different styles.

Hope you've enjoyed my FASHION TIPS

Ye_ni1's makeover
















before / after
Model - Ye_ni1

Ye_ni1's make-up was very bold, with particularly intense eyes.
I wanted to give her a chic look instead, while keeping the same intensity.

TIP:
* Wide lips look gorgeous combined with a beauty mark placed towards the center of your face.
Placing it towards the edge, will make your lips appear even wider.
