Annyka Bekkers has just released new makeups for her skin brand, Blowpop. Part of the “Mellie 3 skins,” they’re edgier makeups than the first 3s released - with great eyes and lips. Mellie 3 debuted just weeks ago at Skin Fair and already some new makeups to try.

Reminder: these snaps have not been post-processed, simply cropped and framed.

All these makeups were snapped using the Release Client with Windlight technology, which for me, tends to make all my skins look a shade lighter than non-Windlight viewers. There are some skins I much prefer in Windlight, and this is one of them. I don’t know if Annyka worked on them in Windlight - but they seem to be optimized for the more realistic lighting you get using that client.

Mellie 3 Seether in Caramel tone

For me, this third generation skin has great improvements over the earlier generation (which is still for sale half off at the Talisman location). The biggest issue for me with the earlier skins had been the eyebrows - even being mod, they were still tricky for me to get right and I much prefer not to have to mess with sliders if I can help it. With the Mellie 3s, there are now 2 options in “trim” - brown and black - and overall, the look is just much more everyday usable for me. I did create a bald especially for the Mellie 3 skins, which you may want to try as well.

Mellie 3 Screamer in Caramel tone

With each makeup that you purchase for $1250L you get 8 options with different black/brown trim for eyebrows and lady bits, plus freckled versions, which are very natural looking freckles sprinkled around your face and shoulders. All the makeups I am showing here are in the Caramel tone (my favorite) and all with the subtle freckles, which I notice are quite hard to see in the Release Client. But they’re there, and very nice.

The other makeups after the jump…

Mellie 3 Strutter in Caramel

While I especially like them in Windlight - which will be MANDATORY for everyone soon (I hope everyone checks out their skins in Windlight before this happens) - they’re also nice in the production client, though still with quite a lot of shading that makes them look especially different on everyone.
