Thin Skin
Permalink   

Hello
I was wondering what you ladies do you get tat thin skinned look for a BB baby.  This is my first BB baby and the vinyl is not really transparent enough for the interal wash to do much good for the effect I am looking for.  I thought of applying some blue wash to the outside on the thin skin areas as was also wondering if anyone does this and at what step (before flesh 08 or after)

I usually do the undertones on the outside. Use a very thin wash of blue after doing the flesh and only apply it in the areas where the skin would be thin, between the eyes, behind the knees, etc.

No, I agree, the BB vinyl is not translucent at all so I never do an internal wash on that stuff. Like Heather M, you can put them on the outside, I also do the temples and a little beside each corner of the mouth, inside the larger part of the ears but just a tiny bit.
