Or make it blend more … what could I do to make it look better ? Or nothing ? I’m so mad I tried to do that but I know now …
Have you baked it?
Yes and did the hair,lashes and everything. It didn’t look that bad till I added red hair … then it brought it out more. Would of looked good with brown but my daughter wanted red . And then the green eyes brings it out more …
A wash of yellow orchre can help neutralize blue (technically orange neutralizes blue and yellow neutralizes purple)
I have not tried it, but others here have said you can bake with mohair by putting a damp towel over the hair to protect it
Can that be applied over Matt varnish ? And where do I get that ?
I personally tend to do my veining & blue undertones first because it is such a “strong/predominant” color. You can neutralize or tone down some of the blues with orange usually or you could even try doing a flesh layer. You can paint over matte varnish.

Then bake it with hair and lashes on ? I don’t have orange 
Or is there a paint that I can use that I don’t have to bake? And use the sponge and just dab over it ? Can u come over and help lol 
Are the lashes rooted or false? You’ll need to remove them if they are false. You can bake the hair just wet it really well. I know some cover it with a wet hat or towel. I would try a flesh wash and see if that tones it down a bit.
The thing about blue and vinyl is the blue stains the vinyl and is a very powerful color. It is hard to strip away blue. You want your blues to be subtle accents under the skin. Often less blue is needed in reborning so you won’t end up with too much. My first reborn was terribly blue. Blue can also become darker over time. You can mix orange if you have red and yellow paints. I would try painting Flesh 08 in very thin layers over the blue areas (blending well) until you see it appearing more underneath the skin, and then reseal with varnish.

If I apply then skin tone and it isn’t working can I just wipe off and leave as is or will it ruin the Matt varnish ?
Scared to bake with hair after my 12 hour rooting !!! Just wet it and maybe a wet towel ? How about wet cloth over eyes bc I don’t have any more lashes ?
Yes, as long as you haven’t baked it you can wipe it off. I’d use a wedge to do it so you won’t get lint into the matte texture. Using some Mona Lisa thinner to wipe it off will help.
You can cover the hair with a wet wash cloth. Just cover it well.
I HAVE applied an air dry paint over GHSP without a problem… Just use a professional quality (highly pigmented) paint.
I get my air dry from Micheals, but GHSP from BB or other reborn sites
And yes, you can paint over GHSP matt varnish with GHSP, or with a highly pigmented acylics but be careful if it is TEXTURED because you don’t want the paint to collect in the little dips and divits and look dirty.
In any case if you do try to go that route do a wash use LOTS of thinner (GHSP), or water (air dry), you just wanna stain/wash the color a little to neutralize the blue. 3 very thin washes are better then 1 thicker layer for this sort of thing.
So sounds like I can fix this !! So I’ll do small amount and then bake 8 min with hair covered with water and then should I apply the Matt varnish again in that spot … I don’t mind the blue in the forehead but by the mouth I hate !!! Thank you everyone!! You are all soooo helpful !!! Without you I would not be done !!

What would the Brand be ? And add the thinner with the air dry paint ? I like this route maybe better so I don’t chance Burning hair .
And use orange ?
You will not burn the hair, just cover it with something or it will be blown around by the fan. I have done than many time. If you wrap hand towel around the hair, the scalp will remain quite cool. As somebody suggested above, several layers of the palest flesh is the best way to tone down the blue at this stage. The orange will make the area less blue, but orange+ blue will give you brown, which is not what you want for that area around the mouth.
Good to know I’m just gonna stick with the skin tone color and see what Happens ! Matt varnish after again ?

Ok I think I’ve got it as best as I can . Now should I apply Matt vanish again or is it not necessary?
I found above that I do reply the Matt varnish . Since it’s just in the one spot do u have to bake it 3x? Thank you!!
I would still do it 3 times to make sure that the varnish is set.
