Thin, thin, thin LOL you really have to apply all your layers thin. Less is more. If you apply them too thick you get the globs!

oops..I must have been half asleep when I read your post the first time, I miss alot in there LOL. I personally don't use the berry maker. I use the sponge method however I have heard people who do use the berry maker method do apply the blush first then go back over it to apply the "mottling look" using the berry maker as far as when to apply it ,before or after flesh, I guess thats just a perefence. I think I would apply my flesh first then blush. Using the sponge, I've done it both ways and I really can't see a difference. Details (creases and ect) I usually do in between flesh layers.

I like the 6" 3-step method only on the 6" dolls (personal preference). The berrymakers are used to "remove" paint from the babies so they have that mottled look. I use the full method on my other babies which really gives a more realistic look, which is what we are all after.

The best suggestion is to get the beginner classroom training dvd and watch it all the way through before starting. YOu can stop, start, and also go to whatever place on the dvd you need to just so you get the technique right. It's really nice that way. I think you also still get a free CD with it for placement of the veins and so on.

Some of the girls and I have been using make up sponges and with tweezers pull small chunks out and the use that as a mottling blush, (in thin coats so as to be able to add more) so as not to give an all over even blush. Not all babies have motling in real life. XXXX June.

yes i agree the peaches and cream looks very nice on a baby it reminds me of a day at the beach in a way. i also think it works better for babies with lighter hair colors!
