Su by LionSkins

If you haven’t been to LionSkins, I highly recommend a visit! Lion Jonesford has recently completed her 3rd line of skins she calls Su. First was Zee, which is no longer available, and then she created Suzana which is still located at her store on the Smaug sim. Su is available in four different skin tones: Fair, Pale, Sunkissed, and Sun. You have an option of lighter brows or darker brows with each make-up.
I am extremely pleased with this hand painted skin. You get a gorgeous neck and collarbone area with a very light sprinkle of freckles between the breasts. There is a nice sheen on the breasts, and the nipples look really nice, in my opinion. You will find a cute little belly button, and below that, the girl bits, which are fine. I also think this skin has the cutest bum in all of SL…I LOVE the lower back dimples! The same sheen you find near the breasts is also nicely drawn onto the upper thigh area. I honestly think the lower legs could use more detailing (knees, ankles), but the toes are really pretty. And I know that is a hard one in SL skin making! The hands feature beautiful fingernails, but, like the lower legs, the arms and hands might need just a little more improvement. My hair is ETD Alyssa in Chestnut, and undies are Ornamental Life Wave Dancer - Seaweed Bracelet.
Su’s face is soft and feminine. The shading is excellent and very well placed. The lips, nose, and chin all have the same gorgeous sheen you can find sprinkled throughout the body. Su is a bit more reserved then Suzana, which was the last line of skin. Most of the make-ups feature nice eyes with lots of bold, bright colors, but you can also find some subtle shades as well. The “lace face” is the most dramatic look in the Su line, and it is available in a few different lace and lip color options. All in all you can find 40 different shades of make-up for each skin tone. In this picture here, I am wearing the fair skin tone, with make-ups 16, 22, 23, 24, and 25. The eyes are EarthStones Stoned Eyes Lapis Lazuli and framed by Detour Faded Lashes. Topping it off is ETD Alyssa in Chestnut.

If you’re looking for a unique touch, aren’t afraid of beautiful color and exotic make up…or if you’re looking or more of a traditional smoky eye and pink lip, I encourage you to stop by their store and see for yourself. Remember, you don’t just need a skin, what you need is personality!
