I can officially say that I am totally in love with the new Curio skin featured at the 2011 Skin and Shape Expo. I did my review pictures for this skin a bit different than typical. First of all, all the pictures are HUGE so you can see more detail. Secondly, I wore different skin tones! Haha So, you get to see more than just Sundust now.
I absolutely love how natural five out of the six makeup choices look for the May skin. The sixth more dramatic look is beautiful as well; it is just not a makeup I would wear in my every Second Life day. Each skin is available in individual makeup choices for L$1500 or in the megapack for $3000 (highly recommended). In the megapack, you will receive all twelve makeup options in all skin tones with choices between dark tone, light tone and freckles. It truly is an amazing value. There is also a special version of May being offered at the 2011 Skin and Shape Expo that is exclusively for charity; the eye shadow is a very beautiful blue tone.
When I went to crop my photos, I noticed something I had never seen on a Curio skin before. On one of the Moonbeam makeup choices, I noticed that part of the makeup was missing on the side of my avatar’s face. When I looked closer, I saw the same vanished makeup on all of my pictures and was a bit puzzled by it. I didn’t think that Gala Phoenix had forgotten to draw half the face; so, I went on a hunch and rotated my studio so that the sun was at my avatar’s back. Problem solved! I knew about the increased sun exposure that prim pieces would pick up, but I had never noticed it on my avatar’s skin or clothing layers. Needless to say, I completely retook every picture; I couldn’t go with half my face missing!
