Subtle

Got a few things from the Epiphany Event and wanted to show them off :D

 

The hair is from the event from Truth; I really love the french twist style of this one, it's classy but casual at the same time.

 

The skin is from Atomic, and the rares are these custom mesh mouths. Atomic is in my top 3 of favorite skin makers, so this had me really excited. While there are a lot of perks, there are 2 minor cons at least for me.

 

The pros of these skins with these lips is that you can interchange the lipsticks and the skins. So if you have for example 3 of the skins, you can wear one and then switch over to one of the other two, load the lipstick hud for that skin, and apply it to the lips. The HUD itself is also awesome, because not only is it an easy one click application, it has a built-in resizer for the lips so you don't have to manually change their size on your own. The shape is adorable, especially the open mouth one.

 

So the two minor cons for me are: 1) It doesn't come with teeth. It looks like it does from the Ad, but the teeth are a separate 3rd party item (PXL to be exact). The open mouth was designed to be able to be used with your own favorite mesh teeth, which I think is great, but if you didn't own any and spent the money trying to get this open mouth because you thought the teeth came with it...I imagine that was probably just an innocent oversight, but for some that might be a let down. 2) For the life of me, I cannot get the lips to blend with the face skin 100%. The NC gives you a guideline, which I tried, but it would still leave the sides and bottom lifted above the face, causing it to be horribly noticeable. If you zoom in, you can kinda see the area to the side and below that I couldn't get to blend, and that was my best attempt which I got by changing my entire face shape. Now while I am fine with that, for some that might be a big no-go, especially if they always use the same modified facial features. I could possibly just be extremely terrible at this, but if I were to compare my experience with the VCO mesh lip to this, I'd have to say I had a much easier time getting the VCO lip to mesh with my face. I had the lighter of the two shades on as well, so I don't know if this same issue holds true when using the darker shade.

 

Like I said, to me they are minor cons, but still cons none the less, and something you should consider before going for them yourself.
