THIS IS HER WITHOUT MAKE-UP, I THINK..

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FEPZTBIohic/TruDrI9dvBI/AAAAAAAABJc/o_xazGaHHkk/s640/TaylorSwift7.jpg

From what I can see:
* The top lid needs to be more squinty than open.
* Darken the eye color a bit... It looks too light. It needs to be dark blue or something.. lol
* Bring her brow's outer corners down and also she needs natural looking brows not painted. (Sorry !)
* Nose Bridge should be wider.
* Her septum width hmmmm... Can you make it a little narrow ? Don't know if there's a slider for that. :giggler:
* Less scale on her nose tip.
* Nose is too short. Or maybe it's the definition or the nose tip rotation ? Can we see a side pic of her. :)
* Maybe decrease her eyelid height. That must take-off the whole "surprised" thingy with the eyes.. :lol: (Sorry ! Again...)
* Oh and her lashes are too long.. Like Xtra long.. ! LoL.. :lol:
* Where was I ? Oh. Yeah.. :heyhey: Top lip needs to be less thick.
* Her cupid's bow should be more separated. Guess there's a slider for that.. :)
* Bottom lip needs to be shaped rather than a square shape thing.. :wtf:
* Chin needs to be more square.

Well that's all I can tell ;)
Great start ! When I saw her I recognized her immediately.. :lovestruc
Good Job !! :gjob:

Heres a diferent lip color

[atchieonse1508]

Maybe make the lipstick more candy-looking ? :giggler: OMG she looks soooooooooooooooooo amazing !!!! :O

I guess you should:

* Eyeshadow less sharp and more like a soft one. (Sorry !)
* Pull her nostrils up a tad. Oh and make them a bit larger. :)
* Hmmmmm... How to get the perfect shape at her septum? :(
* Less head width.
* Pull her mouth higher ? A little ?
* Maybe make her chin a bit more square..
* Her hair is kind of: Like this ?

Thanks for the hair, but Im mostly basing her look off of her first album, and on the cover her hair looks just like that :)
I know I saw some candy looking lipsticks, but I cant seem to find them now! The one I have is good but I think I saw better, Im gonna have to go lipstick hunting!
Thanks for the suggestions, later today I should have an update :beer:

I honestly would have changed her hair to that other hairstyle. I think it would look better. This just looks to curly compared to have most people know Taylor. Her face looks pretty good though! Maybe you can just widen her nose bridge a little or make the nose less defined. Her eyes can come a tad closer aswell. Mouth looks pretty good from how I see it. Eyes and eyebrows are spot on.

[mickeymouse254]

http://i39.tinypic.com/u4io7.jpg
I did change the hair, but it frames the face weird...I dont like it, so (for now) im just going to stick with this one, because Im going for more of the look of her 1st album :)

[malfoya]

Ah, too bad. But I do understand you. I had the same problem with one of my sims. Found perfect hairstyles (I thought), but they just made her head huge or flat. Hehe. As long as you get her haircolor right it shouldn't be too hard for people to change to another hairstyle if they want to. Not the biggest issue with an upload. I guess Taylor can have a ponytail now and then etc :)

As for now her head looks a bit wide. Her nose looks better, but I would have softened it a bit. It looks to detailed or something.

[mickeymouse254]

New update

[mickeymouse254]

New eyebrows

[atchieonse1508]

* I guess her cheeks are too... round and full ? (Sorry!!)
* Maybe pull her jaw up a little ?
* Facial Features are GREAT !!! :lovestruc
* And for the hair, maybe this will work ? :) (Just suggesting !! ;) )

as for the hair, im not too crazy about this one, it makes her forehead look too big i think. Again, Im going for more of this look, when her hair was super curly.

[Elexis]

The hair you are using now makes her look much older, like from 80's or so (it just reminds me Cher too much). It has no hairline, only curls everywhere; you can see pretty clear hairline on those reference pics.
You can try this one:

I like this hair, but again, the forehead is really big, Im gonna try to make a hairline for her.

[mickeymouse254]

EDIT: I think I am gonna use this hair instead
http://i40.tinypic.com/30kqf7k.jpg
I still dont know what to do about that damn forehead

[ameenah.n.y]

I like the new hair.

Managing the forehead, especially when creating a likeness is crazy-hard - there are so many times I think I've matched the hairstyle only to find the way the hair frames the face, the lack or placement of bangs, etc - doesn't work for that sim.

To get around the forehead - you have to do a combination of using the:
- head shape slider (you're definitely going to have to bring Taylor's head shape down - to the left)
- adjusting the face height
- adjusting the eye height

This is when it can be helpful to work on your sim with pulled back/bald hair.

For the profile, aWT (whose blog is accessible) has created both the forehead depth and brow depth sliders. I find these immensely useful.

I know it's a lot of work, but I think it helps to post both frontal and profile pictures with each update, unless no major changes have been made to the profile - I think keeping the frontal, 3/4, and profile in check as you're can help when you can't get to seem the sim right from one angle. A change in the profile can impact the front view.

Her nose doesn't look quite right yet - Taylor has a very distinct nose, that I'm sure is a pain to recreate.
- increase nose mass
- try sliding septum height to the left
- lower the bridge height
- either rotate the nose tip slightly down or use nose rotate - try both, and compare against the profile

I think you actually need to bring the jaw height back down a little. Are you using the "jawline soften" and the "chin to neck line" sliders? I think they would help here.

Good work on another sim! :D

[mickeymouse254]

I tried both those sliders (head shape and face height) and they both had unfortunate "side effects" The head shape also messes with the nasanobial crease, bringing it down, and I cant make the crease any less (that slider is all the way to the left) and lifting the face messes with the mouth corners, they look frowny, but if I bring them up her corners are way to smiley.
But I did get a few more hairs.

[ameenah.n.y]

I really really like the first hair (in the pic you just posted - the cazy hair, I think?) on her the best. I think the bangs look the most like hers. It's the most recognizable to me, honestly.

Ack, I'm sorry, I know what you mean about the side-effects of the head shape slider...have you messed around the mouth corner depth - hers jut out a bit, and *maybe* that will help with the appearance of the crease around her mouth?

I actually love the bangs on the first one, its just the rest of the hair isnt very Taylor, I still might use it though, Im currently working on facemask "bangs" so it those look good i might go for either the third or last hair.

Current progress on the hairline

http://i39.tinypic.com/xkup1z.jpg

[mickeymouse254]

Finished the hairline!

[iLoveYoUiLoveMe]

Love the new hair ! It was better than the first one.. ;) I personally think there's something wrong with her nose.
Maybe it's because of the definition or the dark colors... And her eye scale needs to be increased a little. It looks too tiny.
Taylor's eyes are squinted but it's wide.. :) (Sorry !)
There's such a resemblance ! :O The first time i saw her I was like: WOW ! AWESOME !! Really great work ! :anime:

[mickeymouse254]

update on Taylor

[iLoveYoUiLoveMe]

There is something wrong with her... Yet I can't tell !!
But I think you need to decrease her head width a tad. And Less definition on her nose. I think there's a slider for like, a chin cleft or something ? If there is,
increase her chin cleft a little bit.. :) OMG I really can see her !! Without the comparison pic next to her I would immediately think that this IS Taylor Swift !
You have really overworked her.. ;) Great work !!!

[mickeymouse254]

Another update

http://i44.tinypic.com/1p6z5t.jpg

[Elexis]

From what I see, her face looks a bit too short with that hairline. Also, her nose bridge isn't right, I can't tell where it is now (too low or too high), but it should be pretty narrow between her eyes. Try to bring her mouth up a little to decrease the distance between her nose and mouth.

[mickeymouse254]

http://i43.tinypic.com/29oo0go.jpg

[iLoveYoUiLoveMe]

I totally agree with the hairline... And about her nose bridge,
it does need to be narrow between the eyes and I guess you made a pretty good job on that. But I would increase the nose scale a tad. ;)
It's that distance between the mouth and nose.. maybe pull her mouth up just a little ?
And her septum width needs to be a little wider. Other than that I think she's PERFECT !!
First Katy Perry then this ! I looooove youuuu ! LoL.. :lol:

[malfoya]

Her nose bridge is a little too narrow. Try making it wider and soften it up a bit. Also so should try a cat liner on her that also makes the lower eye lid darker.

[Rennara]

She's looking just about perfect...cept the added hair has a piece of skin showing between the hairline and your section....right there at the part. Personally I don't think the added piece is necessary as her hairline at the part is rather high or maybe try to keep the shape of the original hairline. Either way she's come a long way...good job:)

[Elexis]

The skin between the hair and added hairline is visible because the scalp starts right below the hairline of original hair and it uses different texture. If you want to fix that, you will need to add scalp texture too.

Yeah I know, but that piece of skin is part of the scalp and I cant cover it with a face mask. Unfortunately this hair was made with a very high hairline and she looks like she has a five head without the hairline.

How do I add scalp texture?

[mickeymouse254]

I tried to make something to cover the small spot but I couldnt figure it out, Im not allowed to include the hair so editing the hair itself is out of the question
Anyways, I think I might be done, if theres no more suggestions I might upload Taylor as early as tonight, heres an update.\

http://i41.tinypic.com/j0dtmg.jpg

[Elexis]

For the scalp texture you will need to edit the hair, as you said you can't do that, I'm afraid there's no other way to edit that hairline.
I would still suggest you to use Cazy's hair, it looks the most recognizable on her and it has perfect hairline.

Cazy's hair also gives her a five-head though without the hairline I made :/

[mickeymouse254]

http://i44.tinypic.com/2uikbyw.jpg

Which hair is best? I love the middle hair, but the hairline is still causing trouble. I messaged the guy who made the head shape slider, asking about the distortion that happens around the mouth when its used, so if he can fix it I could totally shorten her forehead. I still like the first one a lot, and Im warming up to the third, but Idk, to me its a teeny bit weird shaped and isnt exactly what I had in mind for her look, but I still like it.

[Elexis]

Like I said before, 3rd is the best. It looks more like her real hair (at least as much as I saw her).

[mickeymouse254]

I like it,, but I feel it doesn't make her look as recognizable as the other two make her in general. I think this first hair looks a lot like

[malfoya]

I also like the 3rd one best. I think it's most similar to how we are used to seeing her.

[mickeymouse254]

I messaged Anubis and got his permission to edit that hair, so i edited the bangs texture slightly and it looks really good (no more 5-head!)
Update soon hopefully.
Also, Im using the Cazy hair for Taylor's formal look :D

[mickeymouse254]

Ok, if theres no more suggestions I might upload her soon
http://i41.tinypic.com/2hp3x4m.jpg

[mickeymouse254]

Uploaded her! Fingers crossed!

[Audrey]

Hi Mickey,

sorry I didn't see this before you uploaded but to me her eye shape is off - should go up at the outer corners.
Her eyes should be closer together.
Her eyelashes are too long.
Her nose is too long.
Her face is too wide.

Sorry, just giving my honest opinion.

Good luck.
