The oBscene skins

posted in New Releases, Skins |


Milk - Base

I came across some completely new-to-me skins the other night from a shop called The oBscene. The skins are by Kuja Akina and I was definitely a fan of the make-ups pretty quickly. At the shop you’ll also find eyes, lashes, clothing, and shapes made by both Kuja and her partner Angel Cleghorn.

There are three available tones but all the skins I have here are in my preferred light tone - milk. Each tone has a huge amount of make-up options (over 30 I think!) - from subtle daytime looks to alternative and grunge looks. Singles will set you back $1000L (each comes with lashes and eyebrow shape) and there are themed packs available as well.


Milk - Ala

I had 4 favorite make-ups in the Milk tone, 2 of which are the Base make-up and a beautifully rich yellow eyeshadow in “Ala.” I think the lips are especially pretty and all the make-ups I am showing you use varying shades of the pale pink lips.

More make-ups and the body after the jump…


Milk - Maia

One of the appreciated features of the skins are the beauty marks that you’ll find on certain make-ups. They add an element of imperfection, which I personally love.


Milk - Hina

Those were my four favorite make-ups - unsurprisingly I prefer the subtle colors, although for sure, if you like to be bolder, there are even more options for that.

Moving on to the body, for me it wasn’t as well done as the make-ups in terms of detail and crispness. The bellybutton is a bit blurred and the bum isn’t as well defined as I might like. In addition, the bits were a bit, hmmm, bold for me as well. However, I normally purchase skins for the make-ups so I’m not fussed about the body. Frankly, the faces won me over before I even examined the body.

I mentioned bolder make-ups and there are numerous options available, like these called, “Fujin” and “Mylitta.”

“Hebe” and “Zora”

And “Amatsu” and “Ra”

Really pretty. I hope you’ll check them out :)

    i wouldn’t wear these if they were free, the bits are off, the body shading is manly, and the brows, beauty mark, crust around the lips are too much. for 1000L, there are better skin lines to purchase from.

    to X:
    well then just say its not my taste…
    the artist puts itself to the work for the skin for months etc then when its done they want to sell them for the price they put effort u dont have any right to saything about this.. the beauty of second life is that you can find lots of interesting skins which means BODY TYPES and FACE -LIP, NOSE, EYEBROW TYPES. If you dont want to wear a atlethic body type then shut up and buy something for your liking.. dont go around saying these are ugly, would wear for free stuff, unless u are crazy with jealousy-which u seem so! U have a problem obviously…
    I mayself have over 20 skins when im in the mood for something i choose to wear that one, day later another one..i say again, if its not ur liking then buy something else..
    well i think these skins are beautiful infact im flying over to store to stock a bunch of them TY!!!

    I rarely get nasty comments here thankfully and I don’t like to moderate or censor. Although obviously I prefer if people comment with their SL name, I don’t require it.

    I do agree though that negative comments made anonymously aren’t helpful. By all means, if you don’t like the skins, don’t buy them. I happen to like them, hence why I’m blogging them and would recommend people at least give them a try as the make-ups are quite lovely (to me) :D

    ohhh i bought 3 XD after seeing the post!
    I tottallly agree with amy and X you are the one who is typical not her, since u post anonymously and just talk empty words.
    I tried and bought them X and i am making a *statement*.
    I dont like muscles much too like Gillian but i wanted to have them cause the beauty mark, lips, make ups -lol i mean everything- and brows are soo pretty , its obvious there are lots of effort on them, and u just come here to talk bull for what? what u gain from this? soo typicall you are X really
    Gillian I think u should start moderating….

    I love the skin! I purchased the Dawn (Hina) version. Love it. Love it. Love it. I’ve gotten many compliments about the coloring and shading. The body is athletic and provides a nice ab area. Can’t wait to go buy another!
