    1. Nope, I got my first doll without faceup. I did the faceup myself and I was not pro :sweat

    3. I bought my doll secondhand and he had a face up with super glue and classy on his nose. I've managed to get almost all of it off and I'm gonna see about doing a new faceup myself

    6. My first doll is coming with a faceup, but that wasn't my plan initially.

      My original plan was to order a blank Fairyland Minifee, but then Sircca was released and I had to have the Pegasus wings which only come with the fullset, and the fullset automatically comes with a faceup. I wanted the sleeping face to match the open eyed face, so I payed for that to be painted as well.

      Her default makeup is beautiful, but to be honest I'm kind of worried that her lack of uniqueness will cause me to not bond with her well :sweat However, I am getting an elf head and an event head, so I'll be able to customize those at least. And to be fair, it will probably feel nice to have a complete doll straight out of the box for my first.

    7. I ordered my first doll with a faceup, I didn't have the confidence to do it myself and potentially mess up my dolls face.

    8. Yes I got my first doll a face up and it's perfect :D no regrets. But I was also wondering the same like I want to try doing face-ups and luckily the company had a campaign at the same time so I could get an extra head for really cheap!

    9. Have just gotten my first doll, and attempted her first face up, I'm really glad I got her blank.

      For me the craft side of the hobby is the reason for owning her. It was a very enjoyable process, despite not getting things right straight away, after much hard work, finishing with something you're happy with is so rewarding.

    10. My first doll came with faceup. To be honest I wasn't really intending to get him with faceup but then DOD was having a promotion when I was about to order so he came with free faceup LOL. I didn't even realize they had a promotion until they pointed it out to me while I was asking them about other stuff on their Q&A board. :XD:

    11. Yes, my first doll came with default faceup. But soon l realized it was not enough realistic and won't fit character. So I repainted it)

    12. My first doll was second hand with a faceup. I planed to wipe him clean and do my own work on him, but once he arrived and I saw his faceup in person, it was so perfect. There was so much detail that was missed in the photos I was sent. Sadly he had a scuffed nose, but after much searching, i was able to find the original face up artist and he made me a deal on a full redo. The redo happened after I had the doll for about 2 years. He is a DZ Cosmo with a faceup by Chi No Tenshi Aesthetics.

    13. I didn't order my first doll with a faceup because I would rather do it myself, and transform them into the character that I choose.

    14. My first bjd came with a beautiful artist face-up. I never changed a thing.

    15. My first doll will be coming without a face-up~ I plan on doing it myself. If I do end up getting a face-up commissioned I hope to catch the lovely Andreja when commissions are open~!

    16. My first doll was fullset (includes make up) аnd I don't regret it:lol: Then I know nothing about customization and
      really afraid to spoil the first impression about doll.

    17. I bought my first doll directly from Iplehouse with a factory faceup. The option I chose was perfect for the character I planned to shell. It's so pretty that I can't imagine ever changing it.

    18. Yes. She was a RS Bei and came with the company face up. The second, a Leek world Honey, to. I could at first not imagine how a doll would look like if there was no face up. My third came without :)

    19. I buy all my dolls fullset, I don't know how to paint adult faces. I work on unmentional dolls, and they are usually little girl or babies, but I did buy a practise head once, it looked like it had a baby face with an adult body, so I rather buy for the doll to come complete.

    20. My first doll was a blythe so yes she came with a faceup. When I get my first bjd though, I'd like it to come without a faceup so I can get a custom one put on c:
