ACfinity Skins – Clytie Parnas

So, I have this friend I haven’t talked to in like ages. A couple of weeks ago she says, “oh hey check out my friend’s store… she made skins and she worked really hard on them!” Ok, sure sure, just as soon as I get a chance. Yanno I’m so busy what with all the inventory sorting and plurking

Couple weeks go by and I’m like gee I’m a bit of a slacker… I’m just gonna go, right now, check out the store. I’d spoken to the creator, Clytie Parnas, and told her I’d check it out. I’d just had yet to squeeze in a visit.

Imagine my delight to find that the ACfinity Skins were gorgeous. Launched in early February (I believe), Clytie Parnas has created a wide variety of female skins. There are also male skins, but I won’t be going into detail about those here, cuz I’m a girl… and I don’t care all that much

Shown here are the makeups in the ACfinity Lyra in the La Mera skin tone 01-06. I loved the luminescence of the skin, the soft shading and subtle highlights. Though not one always for shiny, glossy lips in RL or in SL, these lips are very pretty. One thing to note about the lip shape, though, is that I did have to tweak it quite a bit to look right with my shape. Also, the lip shapes for the skin pictured above and the skin I’m gonna show below the cut are totally different and required different adjustments. See nudies and more details below the cut…

Shown are the different skin tones for the ACfinity Aloe skin makeup 03: Fair, La Mera, Peanut, Summer, T’moia, Dark. Don’t fault the skin because I’m shy and suck at PS

Anyhow, I found the darker shades a bit too dark, but I really liked the shades for Fair, La Mera, and Peanut. All shown photos are without post processing other than crop/enlarge, and the second and third pics show the skin without eyelashes or any other accoutrements (10 points for big word usage… Score!)

I also particularly liked the Jalei style makeups which feature running eye makeup in different states of runniness.  Another note about this skins is that I found the single price for a skin to be a little high at L$1230, when I’m normally used to paying around 1k for a skin, however I have purchased skins for L$1400-L$1600… so it’s not completely out of range.

Yayyyy new skin store!
