New Skins @ Skin FX
By Grazia Horwitz | January 12, 2008
Told you I had a lot of skins on the shelves…. Skin Fx is a brand you may not have heard of yet though. The creator, Francesca Tsarchon, has been working on the skins on and of over the last 8 months and has even taken a break from SL, but she’s back now, and ready to release her first range of skins. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried the first one on. A lovely make up, and quite a pleasant level of body definition although not the level that I am pretty sure most of you would like to see. The over all body is very soft, with a hint of muscle tone on the belly. The navel could use a bit more depth, it is quite vaguely drawn at this time. Same goes for the kitty and the nipples. The legs, and knees in particular are nicely done with a smooth satin look to the skin. Cutest feature for me is the tush that has an adorable shading on the sacrum.
The main reason that I decide to blog these skins though is in the make ups. There are 4 skintones available, of which I am showing the 3 lightest (Infinity, Crystal and Pearl) and come for now in 8 different make ups. Francesca has also made a first batch of special make ups, with intricate drawing around the eyes, and alluring names such as Princess or Goddess. I love the eyebrows that are quite present, and Francesca promised me she would be working on lighter eyebrows too to please the fair and ginger headed among you. The eye make up is very nice and clean looking.. no smudges or blotches, and the lips are just juicy. Francesca kept the faces soft and feminine which I like a lot.
I can only hope that Francesca keeps on track, making more lovely make ups and every now and then update and improve her skins and that she won’t decide to leave SL again.

Grazia, those skins are GORGEOUS on you! Can I ask where your eyes are from, they are really eye-catching (not intending to make a really bad pun).
