Skinned

27Dec07

Today I want to say some things about the impact of different skins. All these photos were taken in identical light, with my usual shape, using the same pose and with unchanged zoom. In other words, the only thing that changes is the skin.

The three down the left hand side are Lovey’s Boutique in Strawberry Milkshake, from the top Ashlin, Blueberry & Cafe. To me the striking features of these skins are the mouth fullness, the wearability of the make-up combinations and roundness of the features. Because I have a relatively square jaw with deep lidded eyes, the softness of Lovey’s Boutique skins suit my shape.

I love Lovey’s skins. I wear them most of the time but I am becoming very bored with the make-ups. I WANT HER TO MAKE MORE!!! But enough of the whine.

Next I want to talk about the three gift skins, Minnu Models Skins Pale in lime, Tete a Pied Vivant’s Almond Paon 4 and Tuli’s S4 cream in frost. In order, these are, second column middle, third column and fourth column. These are all beautiful skins that look fantastic; on other people. They don’t look bad on my avi, just not how I see Liberty looking. For example these skins are made for less heavily lidded eyes. With my shape the eyes are not rounded enough.

The last two skins, second column top and bottom are Deviant Kitties Lashes in Sunkiss and Fashionably Dead, light skin, Thing from the Deep. I love the playfulness of these skins. I particularly like both their mouths, Deviant Kitties’ shiny, sly ruby and Fashionably Dead’s highly lined, yet oddly thin gash.
