is a bratz doll look a good look or more barbs?
I am curious because I don't really know how to do my make up to get a Barbie look. My face itself looks more like a bratz doll I think. I have lips that aren't small. They're like bigger than Angelina Jolie's lips in her youth by a tad I think. Well my top lip is fuller than hers in her youth. Bottom one is about the same maybe slightly bigger. But you get the idea I have full lips not neccesarily large though. I have a small nose an oval face shape and large kind of greenish different color eyes that turn blue sometimes and a tan/light brown complexion. And curly dark blond kind of longish hair. I have never really been able to attain a fully Barbie look of which I think that's the type of style I'd rather look if I do become a dancer. I was wondering what the different make up tips are? I usually do this with my make up regime. I use highlighters base and blusher and primer of course. Then I use lip primer lipstick lipgloss and lip liner. And I brush my lips beforehand. Then I use eyeliner mascara shadow and primer. I don't do fake eyelashes. And I also want to know like how does one do their brows? Mine are wide spaced but thicker. People always want to remove them. But I just want a little extra between as it would help in alignment with my face. And also what's a good airbrush for marks? Or should I bleach? Because I have marks basically on my legs and I have a deep tan on my outer arms. Ideas for coverups? Also do birthmarks or moles that are flat need to be covered up? I have about four. Anyhow advice?

I think you're waaaaaaaay overthinking this. Do your make up in the way that makes you look best and makes you feel most confident. It doesn't matter if other dancers look like Barbie or Skipper or Bratz or whoever else. Strippers aren't all uniform femme bots -- there is a huge variety of face, body, skin, hair, make up, etc., etc., so just go with what works for you.

This ^^
And your look is going to change/evolve as you find out what works for you. I doubt any dancer who's done it for any length of time is rocking the same look they did their first shift.
Also club lights are super forgiving- it's unlikely anyone is even going to notice skin imperfections. If you're really self conscious about it just get a fake tan. Way easier than trying to do body makeup every night, particularly in clubs where you have to worry about it potentially rubbing off on customers.

+1 on both of the above.
One of the positively wondermous things abt this job is that you are NOT confined to a single look. While there are certainly sm looks that are considered more 'mainstream' & therefore sm what more lucrative/job-protective (i.e. Don't necessarily want to try rocking a multi-hued mohawk + BDSM fetish getup in a gown club) … you have a huge amt of freedom to play w/ your personal look to find what makes you the most $$$.
Hell, change it up by the way you're feeling that nite. You can go from Bratz on Thursday, to girl-nxt-door Friday, to Dungeon Mistress on Sunday if the mood so moves you.
There are also hundreds of discussions here abt makeup techniques, brands, etc. Do a search or just skim thread titles to find what you're looking for.

Well generally I tend to look like a bratz doll. But I was just wondering how to do more a Barbie look than bratz that's all.

No my leg has a burn from 16 years ago on it. But it's very faded. I have covered it up with make up and bleached it but not regularly. I also have leg marks from when I was a kid. They're nothing too big I just was wondering if anyone knew the right route to go.
And that is a little weird. That you mention tanning. My legs have tanned and are darker then when I was 5. Yet I still can see the burn still. Pus I'm in Vegas I heard they prefer lighter skinned dancers. Tanning would kind of cause more problems than needed.

I tried to search on it. And found only troll threads or unrelated actually.

Barbie? Bratz? What's the difference? Seriously ... what's the difference? That's exactly what most men would say if you tried to poll them on which look would be better for you. Unless it's a guy whose daughter is of the age to care abt such things, & even then, he himself is most likely not going to be thinking in those terms.

Scar tissue simply doesn't absorb UV the same way as undamaged skin. Tanning can actually make scarring appear more noticeable. That's certainly the case w/ me, altho maybe it's different between us since I inherited my mother's sun-unfriendly Slavic skin tone.
That said, for all the idiocy I've witnessed from club mgmt over the yrs ... tattoos are one thing, but I have NVR seen a girl get turned away bc of scars. Basically, as long as you don't have a mug like the Phantom of the Opera, you're good to go as far as scarring is concerned. Again, you are WAY overthinking things. Men for the most part are not nearly as detail-obsessed as women are. You can also tell them whatever the hell you want to tell them -- mgmt, customers & coworkers alike -- if they question you abt it. You are under no obligation to tell anyone anything.
Tanning isn't just abt getting darker; it's also abt evening-out skin tone & creating a slimmer or better-toned appearance. So 'going dark' is not necessarily the goal when we discuss tanning. Not to mention, that 'tanning' is subjective. A girl can spend oodles of time in the sun or the booth & get the stereotypical near-mocha bronze that many ppl envision strippers to embody; you can go the spray route which gives you a bit more control over the shade, but if it reacts poorly w/ your skin you might end up looking like an Oompa-Loompa :D There are also several tan-in-a-can alternatives, & again, the control they give you over how dark you go will depend on the product. Have a look in your local beauty aisle for self-tanning lotions & the like.

The search bar on this forum tends to be wonky. You may have to put sm actual effort into finding things by trying different search terms & looking further back than just the first or second page of results. You can also find a lot of info on Youtube.

To me the bratz doll look is more I guess ethnic and more femme than Barbie is more proportional perfect and conventional. It's a bit more what I thought customers would look for in a dancer. Especially here in Vegas. Which is why I was wondering about make up tips. To me Barbie and the bratz doll are very opposite to each other but maybe that's just me. I guess I could just go with what I know.
For me when I use fade creams it evens out my skin. Tanning does the opposite but I haven't used any products just the sun. My skin tone is like Keri Hilson's Vanessa Morgan or Nicki Minaj etc. So you see what you call tan is what my skin is naturally. When I tan I'm actually caramel or even lighter chocoloate.
Yeah I should try that.

My point is, CUSTOMERS are not going to care abt the difference between Barbie & Bratz. If you look thru sm of the Hustle Hut threads, there are a number of comments abt how a customer will tell you how they 'prefer X look' but actually spend on Y or Z look in addition to or even instead of X.
They also aren't going to care abt scarring. Club lighting is dim, flashy & very forgiving. The only ppl who will truly care abt scars are assholes (which you really don't want to waste your time on anyway) & scar fetishists.
All of these obsessively detailed descriptions you give, comparing your hips/skin tone/measurements/whatever to celebrities .... take a deep breath & hold it :) there is no need to be overthinking so much. You will not be every customer's or club's cuppa no matter what you do, that's smtg every dancer has to accept. We can only help you so much here. There is very little abt stripping that is 'set in stone', most of it is just trial&error. The only real way to figure out what will work best for YOU, is to go audition, get hired, & start working.
