Did you catch the relaunch issue of Aspire magazine? It’s a great looking magazine with plenty of summer time content, including a well done swimsuit pictorial.
I have to admit a healthy bit of cover envy with gorgeous beauty Keely Huet looking summer fun perfect. She’s a striking model, but I absolutely had to go check out The obScene – the source of her skin – just based on the photograph. I even dragged along new Aspire owner kristianne Matfield to get a closer look at them too.
At L$1000 a pop they’re not the least expensive skin in Second Life, nor are they the most expensive, but they certainly are worth the expense.
I especially liked designer Kuja Akina’s theatrical makeup options – perfect for photography and runway shows – but maybe not for day-to-day running around the grid. One thing that both kris and I liked was that the ever-popular streaky mascara makeup look had streaks under both eyes. We were both stumped trying to remember the last time we’d cried out of just one eye as so many Second Life runny mascara skins suggest.
But it’s not all over-the-top makeup glam. There are some tremendously everyday-wearable makeup collections as well. Both of us rather liked the “Bad Mojo” collection, which has four dark smokey eye makeup selections paired with four different lipstick colors, from nude to vamp to tramp – one look for each mood. It also includes a kabuki-inspired lipstick. We both felt like the palest skin tone was very very pale — too pale for our collective comfort. I trended toward the middle tone (shown above left), while kris preferred the darker (but not too dark) tanned skin tone (seen here to the left.)
You can check out the full collection of skins, eyes, prim lashes and a smallish collection of clothing at The obScene, Cassiopeia Isle (159, 225, 22).

You’ve neglected to mention how HOT these skins make you! They are the perfect compliment to your sexy-as-hell, constructed with the finest precision, drool worthy and traffic stopping…. nose. *rolls eyes*
No really, though – the thing I love most about these skins is that they look different on every shape. You and I don’t look the same in them and Babyhoney looks different from both of us, too. As evidenced by the fact that the lighter make ups look better on you two and the heavy handed, “I’m gonna get me some tonight” make up looks better on me. *pauses to think* Don’t say it.

LOL @ Kris….
I do have to agree about the hotness level tho. And I did try everyone of them out. I mentioned on my blog also, that she is planning on shortly releasing a new line of skins, with a more feminie body.
They really do look different on everyone, don’t they!
