Are you ready to meet the Dolls and their maker?

The Dollmaker

The creator becomes the cursed. Once a renowned artisan, the Dollmaker’s quest for perfection transformed her into her own most terrifying masterpiece. Part human, part doll, her porcelain skin is cracked, her eyes burn with ghostly intensity, and her presence lingers in every corner of the haunted workshop.

Make-up Concept: The Dollmaker look centers on a porcelain base fractured with delicate crack effects that expose sections of human skin remaining underneath. This is contrasted with smoked blood red eyes and blood-drenched lips, all with that feel of faded Victorian beauty. The artistry lies in balancing elegance and eeriness; she is both beautiful and broken.



Hero Products:
• HPS - A10 F High Performance Silicone Fast Set 1 kg (Creating the prosthetic porcelain pieces)
• Supreme Blood Internal 50 ml (dark) (for haunting details on the lips)
• High Glow (cashmere honey) (adding a sheen surface of the porcelain)

The Wooden Puppet

The cursed star of the stage. Once, a boy of extraordinary talent. A dancer with such grace, the curse traded his humanity for eternal applause. Now, his body is carved from gallows wood, his joints creak with each step, and his painted smile conceals a tragic hunger.

Make-up Concept: The Wooden Puppet look relies on angular contouring, painted woodgrain textures, and stark separation lines to mimic hinges and carved joinings. Painted knots on cheekbones and a bald cap create a smooth skull, bringing eerie realism, while theatrical shading sharpens his expression into something almost alive.



Hero Products:
• Aquacolor 8 ml (071 deep black) (for carved joint illusions)
• FX Design Color Liquid 50 ml (to create layered woodgrain)
• Latex Bald Cap Colored large (for the smooth, polished wood effect)

The Ventriloquist Doll

The voice that isn’t his own. Once a loud and jubilant young boy, he would play in the streets outside the toy store. One day, his ball rolled in through the open shop door, and the curse silenced him for eternity. He became one with his dummy, his jaw split into puppet hinges, and his smile painted wide. When he speaks now, two voices echo – his, although merely a whisper, and something darker that needs no puppeteer.

Make-up Concept: Smooth, lacquered “doll skin” and exaggerated painted features define this look. Hollow sockets, rounded blush cheeks, and a carved jawline hinge turn the human face into a speaking dummy’s shell. The varnish-like hair and brows remove any element of human realism. The surreal lips, glossed in unnatural hues, complete his chilling stage presence.



Hero Products:
• Gelafix Skin (red) (for a varnished wood effect)
• Platsil Gel-00 1 kg (for sculpted mouth hinges)
• HD Cream Liner (ebony) (for hollowed sockets and definition)
• Lip Stain + Lip Oil (fiery orange)(for surreal painted lips)

The Porcelain Doll

Once, she was just a little girl who pressed her face to the glass of the shop window, staring longingly at the dolls in their delicate gowns. She dreamed of one day wearing a dress as beautiful as theirs, lace that shimmered, satin that whispered of grand celebrations. Her wish did indeed come true; she wore the dress. Now she waits in faded lace. Cracks split across her once-perfect face, and her eyes, once innocent, now wide with horror.

Make-up Concept: This hauntingly romantic look layers delicate crack effects over a pale porcelain base. A blend of bespoke-made prosthetics and skillfully painted highlight and shadow work. Subtle shimmer around the eyes and soft, faded blush capture a vintage beauty corrupted by the curse. The balance of fragility and decay makes her both elegant and terrifying.



Hero Products:
• Artex (for fine, realistic cracks)
• Coloring Vision Palette 18 Colors (Skin) (for porcelain coloring)
• Compact 3D Layered Clusters (Accentuating Doll-like features)

The Patchwork Doll

A curious child who saw too much. One evening, she whispered to the townsfolk of the Dollmaker’s curse, of dolls that moved when no one was looking, of whispers behind the workshop door. But secrets are not meant to be told. The curse would have its revenge; her lips were sewn shut with cruel stitches, her eyes replaced with cold, unblinking buttons. Scraps of fabric and painted floral patches were stitched across her skin, turning her into a grotesque parody of the dolls she had once feared. Left unfinished, torn at her seams.

Make-up Concept: The Patchwork Doll is unsettling because she is both silenced and made to smile. Stitched seams across the mouth and face create a sense of forced quiet, while button eyes hollow the gaze into something blank and lifeless. Painted floral patches add a false prettiness – delicate roses against fabric textured like skin. Bright playful colors yet and eery feel.



Hero Products:
• Artex (for sculpted button eye applications)
• Aquacolor 8 ml in Black & White (for stitch lines, depth, and highlights)
• Aquacolor Set 18 Colors (Basic) (for painted floral patches)
• Flocking Color Additive Shaker (to build the eerie fabric-skin texture)
