Jacki Silverfall Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Mines LAQ, there is Curio too. It's really a matter of taste. Get a bunch of demos and find what ya like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haven Kraus Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 There are alot of great skin creators out there. whats best for one person isnt going to necessarily be best for another. it all depends on your personal taste and to a large extent the shape of your avatar. However you can never go wrong with LAQ ! i think just about everyone has at least one of thier skins. Another great one is Baiastice, they come with lots of options like eyebrows, cleavage enhancement, teeth and freckle layers ! curio, and tuli are also worth a look if you perfer a less shiny look.

kattatonia Wickentower Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I love Tuli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo Moeleneaux Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I wore my Redgrave skin for a quite a while, then I discovered Belleza, then League but my very first skin is now my last skin Unique but a different style and I'm very happy with it. Won't stop trying out others though :smileyvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I assume you are looking for a female skin? I made some collages here http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Fashion/Calling-on-skin-makers/td-p/1046215 for someone who was looking for a special flat belly. Gives you an idea of how many good skins it's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveAngeL Lyre Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Try *Sawone* and *JesiLilo*. Many demos for both available at Marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Petrov Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I've had Gaia (now Curio), RAC (now LAQ), Tuli, Dutch Touch, and back to Curio now. There are so many fine skin makers in SL, you will not have a problem finding so many your choice will be a challenge! The best thing to do is to sort out the shape you like and then find the skin that best fits it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyra Blackthorne Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Best is going to be subjective because each creator has a unique style but some of my favorites are: Womens: Al Vulo, Belleza, Curio, Glam, Laqroki, Lara Hurley, LaVie, League, Redgrave Mens: Den-Dou, Abyss, Belleza, DNA, Laqroki, LaVie, Redgrave, Sacred, Sawode, Tellaq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariel Vuissent Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 "Best" is very subjective. Pop over to a bunch of the stores mentioned, get some demos, and experiment. Remember that not every skin looks right with every shape. I love Curio skins - but I tried a couple with my shape, and really didn't care for it at all. Personally, I use LAQ right now. I also have Curio, Redgrave, and one thusfar not mentioned - Illusory. (Great for light skins, but they only have a few to choose from.) Illusory was my favorite for a long while, until I found my current LAQ. I have to exit this thread before I go shopping again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah91 Tremor Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Oh, that's easy LAQ formerly know as Laqroki.... Uncomparable good. Fullstop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Veriander Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Nobody mentioned Heartsick. Those skins (esp. the newer lines) have a dewy, glowy look about them that I haven't found anywhere else. I've been wearing the same bare Heartsick "Spirit" skin, with tattoo makeup (mostly from Pixeldolls, but I'm always looking around) for probably a month now. With the rise of the tattoo layers, I doubt I will be buying many "made-up" skins anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hope Antonelli Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I have become a Curio fanatic and with their most recent releases you not only get light and dark options for each makeup (which is usually 6 or 8 for each set), there's also a freckled and non-freckled version. The last few that have been released (on the one wall with the newest releases) you get all skin tones in all options. I've lost count how many skins that actually is for the same you'd pay for one or two makeup options in a lot of companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Petrov Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Curio's been doing that awhile: multiple skin tones, freckles, etc in the pack. I am glad you have discovered them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Jetaime Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I agree there are a lot of great skin creators out there. And i dont' think that anyone can say that the among the top quality ones there is one that is better than others. Take your time and explore all your options. Its essential that you get a good variety of demos and try them on with your shape. It is surprising how the way the shadows, highlights and coloring on each skin make you appear different. You will probably see skins you abosultely love but when you try them on they aren't the look you really are after. When i look for a new skin, i try on the 'natural' version of the skin (or the one with the least makup first) until i narrow my choices down to one or or a few that gives me the exact look I want. Then i consider the makeup choices, as i generally find that if i like the look the skin gives my avatar without makeup i generally like it better with makeup. I then choose the skin that gives me the most makeup options that look good on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anahata Love Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 tres blah, mynerva and fashionably dead. (dutch touch already mentioned) depends on if you like 'realistic' looking skin or 'painted' looking skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Lane Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 There are many great skin creators in SL, you should also remember that your shape has to fit the skin, as you can have many different looks with the same shape, below is a montage of me wearing 12 different skins, while keeping the same shape on. Another bit of advice is trying different hair styles, as how the hair shapes around the face can make a difference also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raien DeCuir Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I love shopping for skins or whole new avatars and usually collect demos from a whole bunch and then determine what I like best and what really works with the other components I have picked out already (if I'm not starting with the skin at least) So shop around and find your favorites. I've fallen in love with [Pink Fuel] and while they have a small selection on the MP, you'll get an idea of what kind of skins they make. Very very afforable, lovely skins. But everyone else has given great advice. Shop shop shop until you find the one you love the most and make sure you -really- like it before you buy.

Victoria1488304562 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 A few people mentioned Dutch Touch... I went there and could not figure out what was what. The pictures are tiny, so it's hard to know what I want to try. It says there is a skin sale going on, but most of the merchandise is labeled as makeup or tones. Maybe I'm dumb, but I couldn't make sense of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
