I am ready to abandon this: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kahuna/209/220/23 If you want you can send me a PM and we discuss the exact time. Do not message my alt who's standing on a prim up in the sky. I will not look at her until I release it.

It is one of the few things I am sad about with Lelutka Evo. It does not play well with others. I have found myself increasingly angry (too strongly worded?) that the makeup I find is HD only and not layers. Maybe it is because creators must work more with its shape? Genus almost always includes BoM in their makeup sets. When I try a Genus BoM layer on Evo it does not look right. I was so happy that I finally found a set of eyeliners and eyemakeup on layers made for Lelutka Evo. I like hair that's not pulled back from the face but hanging down on the side. I also like bangs. And HD makeup along with hair is hopeless. I will not change the hair from alpha blending, because the hair looks lumpy. But BoM eyemakeup is always looking right. It also helps to hide if the lashes disappear, since a dark eyeliner on BoM is a good base color. Masking on lashes also makes them look bad...

Oh yes, and that is actually very smart, since you can buy unattractive land cheap and have your own paradise in the sky.😉 I second that you should be considerate and move your sky platform so high that neighbors don't see it. Low floating sky boxes are so sad to look at from the ground.

Oh, I don't think he will be back. He sent me a personal message to compliment me and asked if I looked like my avatar in RL. After I told him I did not, in age or appearance, he has not posted here anymore. 🤣 I must have scared him away from his dream about earning big money in a virtual world where we look like 20 something models in RL too. Sorry if I offend you who actually are 20 something models.

Yep yep, but a head is a big investment and then the skin. So for someone who has a Genus, it is often Genus they have to use... until the funds allow a change. So Steffi Vilota who owns Deetalez has this info on her blog: https://deetalez.com/faq-find-help-here/ She can even make BoM on request, but not for very old skins. And the latest for Genus is in Uber. I was hoping it had a BoM symbol on it, or a BoM layers made on request for free... Why so little information on the vendor? But trying on a demo should tell, if it is a layer in the demo it is ok for BoM. I can't tell if it Asian enough, but it is some skins in her store that looks Asian to me.

I knew you had some suggestions. I was thinking about Ryn too, but it is made for Lelutka Evo and will be wrong for a Genus head.

She must find a BoM skin she likes first. I do not use any Asian skin besides an alt, that has a Mudskin from a gacha. I do not plan to change the alt's look, so I am a bad source of information. I know many use Genus here in this forum, but it's the wrong time for them to be awake. Maybe the title should be changed to "I need a light Chinese/Japanese/Korean BoM skin for Genus". I have read posts here about the differences between regions in Asia, but I did not really pay attention, ignorant as I am. :( So we need them to answer here, then I think it's fixed. I do not remember other posters that @Pussycat Catnapfrom the discussions.

She does not want BoM because she has only found one skin in SL that has BoM and is made for Genus. And she does not like the skin. So all suggestions about making her own facial tattoos depends upon if Genus has a tattoo layer that cover the head. I know she can make a tattoo and put it in an applier. I don't know Genus enough to say how many applier layers it has. In my opinion, I see Genus skins with BoM every time I look at an event in Seraphimsl. In my opinion, it must be one of the easiest brands to buy skins for. But the Original Poster does not say other than "Asian" and has an avatar with dark brown skin, so I don't really know what she wants. I can't see any details, the face is so tiny. A closeup of the Genus head with the skin applier she likes would help. Maybe @Pussycat Catnapcan suggerst some dark Asian skins?

I like Slink but new sales.... difficult. It is weekend sales where I can have a good deal for an alt. 50 or 60 L for a well made male mesh piece of clothes. But it is Gianni, Legacy and Jake. I can be lucky and find some, but way too often it is those three other bodies.

Ignore my previous post, you did unpack a new one. I was too fast to throw myself over the keyboard. 😁 Of course it is BOM out of the box, what was I thinking. You must find the skin you had before you tried the new skins.

It is a very new and confusing HUD. I am spoilt by Lelutka, I find theirs so intuitive. If the original, out of the box looked great, unpack a new one. That is often faster.

The thing about virtual clothes/furniture/combat weapons, when the textures and mesh are uploaded, it is no more cost. It is not like RL where you must buy fabric and hire a team to sew, to fill up as you sell. Unless you need a store - and you can manage only with demos - you have the money besides the part LL/Tilia takes for using the MP and for cashing out.

The major issue I have with Jake is that Belleza makes it. That creator is so slow with updates, even free bodies from others have fully implemented BoM, and hands that don't get splayed out. When that complaint is out of the way, it looks better than Signature Gianni, that is true. It is also cheaper now. Jake and the 1 L LOGO head is the best you can get now, economical and you can get any clothes on the market. I have not seen how other skins look on the LOGO head, but for 1 L, it is really worth picking up. Logo sell skins for it, and it was cheap (399?) for a pack of all colors from fair and up to dark? I did not buy the skins, went and put on the head first. Some talk about Black Friday sales. Nobody can tell if some stores will sell bodies cheaper. But using the free (TMP) classic and the LOGO head until Black Friday is over, perhaps it is the smart option...

I think some people have an aversion against the included shapes in the head folders. Not saying it is the OP. But they put on the head with their own shape they have used for years, and try to work the sliders from that. For me, it is backwards, it is much easier to tweak the face from the included starter shape and then write down the numbers for the body and change it.

I just picked up the male head, since one of my alts only has the Freya unisex head. What a difference a male head makes. Finally I got rid of the "feminine" head shape. It does not look like the eyes can use BoM. I have never used LOGO Bento - I had some other head years ago. Must see if it is eye appliers to buy or make.

WOW a free male (and female) head at LOGO! The region crashed me when I tried to teleport out my male alt, but he got the head first. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Eventide Far East/184/81/800

It's BoM and Bento but it is so basic that it's only for those who really can't afford better. One of the things is that the eyelashes don't even move and it is no facial expressions. I can second @Chic Aeonin that she get the free heads NOW and play with the shape and skin later. Those are quality heads. People who say the mesh heads don't look like "them" don't want to evolve their look, but it is not up to me what they decide.

It is many flickr posts and also blogs for looks. "All" the stores I visit has browless options. But the demo has maybe 1 brow option. The last skin I took a demo for, this: https://www.seraphimsl.com/2020/09/17/glam-affair/ had only the red eyebrows in all the demo tones. But on the website it list up all the versions, including browless. http://glamaffairupdates.blogspot.com/search?q=sky This can be confusing. The best advice I can give, is read the description on the vendor close. Both Lelutka and Genus have active groups where you can ask for ideas. Pink Fuel comes in no brow version. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mochimilena/48214676847/in/dateposted/ The best eyebrows for me is from Simple Bloom, and they have both blonde and white brows. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/215211

You can barely find other creator's skins for the head from the same designer as Geralt/Gianni. Stay clear of a Signature head, unless you will continue to use the included skin. The Catwa heads has been leading in skin variety, but lately the LeLutka Evolution appear to dethrone them as the "hot" one for new skins. I don't know what head that comes out as winner in the skin war. Rumors say that Genus is working on a male head too. How much you will invest for an alt? I don't know the price of the Signature heads. LeLutka cost 3990 (for now) and Catwa 5000, or is it 5100?

"Wear" replaces the same product. You can use wear if you want 1 tattoo layer only. If you use, let us say, a lipstick and will also use a hairbase, Wear" kicks off the lipstick and replaces it with the hairbase. The white head should mean that you use a body skin that has the head part painted a solid white. The skin creators found out that they save a lot of work by making the body separate from the head, since they only have to make the body once, but makes lots of faces/heads. So either the head is in the folder as a separate tattoo, or it is made before BoM and the creator has not updated it with the correct layers. I picked a demo from the Marketplace. It says: ✿ What is included with your purchase ? : ❤ 1 basic skins to the system body (Body Only) Special appliers HUD for GENUS Head Special appliers HUD for mesh Body/Body Parts ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So... this pack does not include BoM for the face. Maybe the pack is updated in the Mainstore. Some creators do not update their MP store often. Some creators decide the work for updating older skins is not something for them, they focus on their new skins.

Do you read notecards? Does not the updated Genus head come with a notecard that tells you what the updates is? The Genus friends group is very active and helpful. It is hard to help when I don't have a new HUD in front of me.

Pumec has maybe updated for BoM. Try to get a redelivery in the store? In addition to the "skin" symbol Eddie showed you, many creators use the "skin" only for the body and a white head. Then they sell the head as a tattoo, the red sqiggly symbol. You can layer many of these tattoos. I think the limit is 62. So if Pumec has the face on a tattoo layer, you wear base skin, ADD face on tattoo layer, ADD other cosmetics like makeup, hairbase and facial tattoos on top. Never use "wear" if you need more than 1 tattoo layer. The folder from Pumec should show the box symbols for appliers, and if it is updated for Bom it has the skin symbol and maybe a tattoo for the face only. All skin stores has demos. The demos work on all known heads like Genus, Catwa, Lelutka and more. There are some obscure heads and skins that don't have demos, stay clear of those.

Then it is moved to another part of the HUD. Look for Bakes on Mesh.

Yes, something like that. Linden Lab had to enforce rules because of the bots that registered new accounts and spammed. Inworld there is helpful places like Caledon Oxbridge: http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/ And NCI: http://www.nci-sl.info/blog/ If you have reached your limit.
