Demos for makeup/tattoos/skins/eyes/other appliers?

[Karina Leborski]

Hello,

I am back since 2009, I learned the most of new stuff since then in a past month, though sometimes I have questions here and there - like how can I try different types of appliers? Like tattoos? I was checking some inworld shops, but I didn't see the demos here. And what if it is only fit with omega (still don't have it)? Can I try it somehow before the purchase? Tnx!

Unfortunately, if a creator has not provided a demo of something, there is no way to "try before you buy".  

And if something only uses Omega for the applier, then you will need the appropriate Omega relay before you could use such items.

Appliers are used with mesh bodies or heads.  So to use an Omega applier, you need an Omega compatible mesh body or head, plus the Omega relay for that particular mesh body or head.

Some applier makers supply a useable example from their ranges in place of a demo (ie, just one lipstick or eyeshadow instead of the full set), which at least gives you an idea of the rest of the range as well as a wearable item if you happen to like the colour or tone.

Thank you! But how I know it fits well? Is it always look good, if it is omega compatible, or may I experience some glitches? Are there creators that do provide some DEMOs, or it is a regular practice, that tattos, makeup, etc. has no demos?

Tattoo demos are rather rare, me thinks ... your best might be grabbing a rather cheap offer or a gift to check the general quality of the brand, like how their seeming lines match up and such. Or check for bloggers or on FlickR for more pics from different angles than the original ad.
For make-up, demos are quite common.

In general, Omega based applier have the same "base" to start from. But still, the "skeleton" below that texture base might wrap it a little differently, depending on its own unique shape. So in theory, the same applier will fit on each compatible mesh. But a lipstick might not look the same  on two different heads.

Thanks a lot! You answered to all my doubts
