What is the difference between a good skin and a bad skin? I often see some for sale for a reasonable price. How can I tell if it's bad? I have an older skin, but I like the coloring and haven't really found one that I like as well. What makes the super pricey ones better? Feel free to show me your skin so I can compare.

The badge thing is really confusing to me. I've never really worked with Photoshop or any software like that.

Why is my avatar picture so small?

I have discovered some makeup stuff. I'm really grateful about it too because not only does it change the look, but my default look on my skin has blue eyeshadow. Eeek.

That is about the closest I've seen that looks like me. You've been a big help

The hair is Nikita Fride. Part of my problem with updating is not having much money.

The above are some examples of brown eyes that I have tried.

I appreciate the thoughts. I have red eyes which for some reason I like. They seem to go with the hair. I've looked at brown eyes (which mine are in RL, red hair brown eyes) but I haven't found any I like as yet.

Thank you so much for the tips. I was just looking in to what options there are out there for an updated look. Often get told by people that I look outdated. Sigh.

The picture above is the best face picture I have at the moment.

Thanks so much for the replies. I have no idea who made the skin. It was given to me a long time ago. I will try the ideas you all have given me.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to get an updated skin, but keep the same face. I have a skin that was given to me ages ago and I really like the face. If I get a newer skin I will lose that face and end up with one like everyone else. Is there a way to keep the same face?
