As a HUGE Fashion Doll Collector of both Barbie and other fabulous Fashion Dolls - I'm completely loving this thread that Foxy Kita started.
I wished in my heart of hearts that MAC would've waited for this year '09, Barbie's 50th Birthday to release their Barbie cosmetic line, but...
oh well! Hello Kitty got that privilege to celebrate her 35th birthday with MAC instead.
Everyone's submission is striking and inspirational! It's usually a Doll that inspires a makeup scheme, but here...it's the other way around!

It was my favorite when they debuted and still remains so...I was thrilled when
Oracle1 unknowingly paid homage! Good goin'!
I'd be curious if she knew this Doll existed?
Exhibit A: Raven Haired Silkstone Barbie #3 with mint eye shadow from the debut 2001
Robert Best Silkstone Fashion Model Collection.
These photos are not the
actual promo photos by Mattel, but I found these candid pics to show the true nature of the mint colored eye shadow that the Mattel promos fail to show as
their photos translate as "Blue" eyeshadow
not mint - like what reminded most of
Oracle1's.
To follow Foxy Kita's lead - allow me to offer up a little inspiration to those who'll want to create more looks of our favorite Fashion Doll.
Below are a few pics of some of the best of what Barbie is up to this year to launch her 50th year as these are the latest of the 2009 collection.
I've also included some pics of a repaint Laurie Lenz did of a
Jason Wu LiveWire Doll by the Laurie Lenz Doll Studio.
Jason Wu is the designer who Michelle Obama picked
at the very last minute to wear for the Inaugural Ball...
you remember the dreamy ivory gown?
Jason also designed this Fall dress for her the BW's interview.

As long as Barbie is around I will always find inspiration for my makeup looks...I know you will too!
Happy Birthday Barbie!
Keep posting the great looks Kids! And yes...Foxy Kita that means you too!
