Hi sachi!

I really dont know much about skins, but I must say I'm very appreciative to see you using a dark lipstick shading on the darker skin tones. I could be the only one that has been bothered by seeing the light lipstick on on the darker skins, but oh well

I'm Black RL and none of my lipstick, eyeshadow and blush shades are super light. I use autumn colors palette - like you have chosen for these skins - the reds, cinnamons, deep copper, dark plum, browns etc - the earth tones.

WTG sachi! good job and good lookin out darlin

Other folk doing skins and/or makeup for darker tones:
When in doubt check out what Oprah or Tyra Banks are wearing. The last sista I saw wearing bubblegum pink lipstick (or gold or yellow!??) was Sheneneh on Martin.

Thank you so much for your positive comments Brace, i'm so glad i got it right. i did take into account that Black skin has a whole make up counter full of rich tones suitable for a darker skin when i made these and i'm really delighted you noticed that. :) i am trying to be realistic as i can with my own and SL limitations with my skins. Please feel free to IM me in world if you have any wishes or suggestions.

i just finished my Black male skin and named him Shaka, really pleased how he came out but no pics yet.
