HIGHLIFE SKINS FROM THE AMAZING FARRAH FOSTER

I met Farrah Foster in FB, she had called out for bloggers and I answered the call!  I love skins and it's been awhile since I've been in SL for more than a few minutes and there are so many incredible advances in the last year!

I went to Highlife and looked at the skins Farrah had ready and they were really lovely!  We talked for a bit and she TP'd me to see the newest one she was working on, it is truly stunning!  I am so pleased to be able to blog my favorite skin called Zivaah in all the gorgeous shades and I will show you her beautiful new skin called Farrah in Sunkissed.  I have listed the store link below.

Aside from the gorgeous skins Farrah has been creating she has completed the Slink Appliers for hands, for the skins she has currently available.

ZIVAAH SKIN FROM HIGHLIFE


LIGHT TONE:


I adore Zivaah!  The light tone has a little peach color to it and adds lovely highlights to the face and body adding a healthy glow.



I tried different hair colors with each shade and this shade was perfect with the ginger hair color, the make up matches too and the lipstick color can be worn with anything.  Farrah makes different lip colors too that you can buy separate from the skins.  My hair is from truth and the bikini is from *B.E.*

PALE:

The pale is a little darker, getting into that start of a beautiful summer tan, the shadowing in the skins is perfect, I love the look of that perfect bikini tummy!



I love the face on these skins, the eyebrows are so perfectly done, the shape is gorgeous and the coloring in the face is so lovely.  I made different shapes for each, that vary slightly just to show they look great with different hair colors and shapes!  Very versatile skins!  The hair is from Truth and the bikini is from MPD.

SUNKISSED:


Sunkissed, perfect summer tan, warm tones throughout the skin, with perfectly blended shadows. Again I went with truth hair, its one of my faves and the bikini is from FIRST LOOK.


Zivaah just radiates warmth, you can almost smell the coconut tanning oil!!!


TAN:


This was my favorite picture, the tan skin is such a sexy color!  There is something about a darker skin with a slight glow that is so irresistible!  Hair is from Truth and the bikini is from Trashy Girls.



Even in the darker tones you can see all the little details that are in the skin, like a slight copper highlight that works so beautifully with the shadowing! With light colored eyes the look is just drop dead gorgeous!

DARK:


The darkest shade is just a slightly darker color, with hints of mocha and lighter shading to give it a realistic look with a very slight shine.  I went with the truth hair again, a loosely up swept look with wisps falling to one side, and giving the face such a sexy look!  The bikini bottom is from Trashy Girls.


FARRAH - Sunkissed

I absolutely love this new skin from Farrah Foster of Highlife, the sunkissed is lovely and I had to show the whole skin, you have to see the amazing detail, the realism, shading, it is breathtaking so before you scroll down just be prepared that I am showing all of you how comfortable I feel in my skin and a hat!


I started from the backside to show you how beautiful the shading is, the shoulder blades, spine, bottom and legs.  I think this is a great modeling skin, you have so many choices of shapes you can use with it and it photographs beautifully!



So flawless, everything looks so real and would work with so many design choices.  I chose this fun beach hair from LOQ.  If you are looking for a unique new style, try Highlife skins with the applicators for Slink hands.




Blogging Once More!

I am returning to blogging after almost a year.  I am going to revamp the blog a bit and bring you some incredibly talented designers, some contests, hunts, photographers in SL that are just breathtaking and more, I really hope that you enjoy what will be coming and thank you to all of you who have stayed loyal and encouraged me to come back.  I hope to see a lot of new faces and please send comments of things you like and would like to see more of, I will do my best to incorporate what the readers would like to see.

I do this for the love of fashion, I see fashion as art and there are so many incredible designers in SL, it has come such a long way since I started in 2009.  I love to dress up in things that inspire me, make me feel great wearing and open up my creativity to express how it makes me feel.  Blogging helps me heal too, the end of 2011 and all of 2012 were very difficult for me in SL and RL.  I lost people and pets  in RL that were very close and the grief of having it all happen within a couple months of each other was almost to much for me to bare.  During that time a very close relationship of over 3 years was ended in SL and after that I was lost for awhile.  I had given up most of my modeling to have more time to devote to this relationship and in the end it was all for nothing as he moved on, he couldn't handle my grieving and had found someone new, oh and yeah, he forgot to tell me!  I'm sure we have all been there!  The pain of all of it, combined with illnesses took over and I had to take a break.

I feel ready to be back, I've missed blogging and everyone I have met in this process.  So I am ready to bring you my first blog of 2013, love to you all and thank you!
