MaCe has three different face options: Basic, Eye Tattoo, and Goatee. This skin was released in three tone: Cream, Olive, and Cocoa.

Dutch Touch has a nice and easy approach to skin development. Not releasing the full line at once but rather a few tones or faces over time. Now the collection is four different skins all with several options.

Just like the women’s skins, this growing collection is well designed and highly acclaimed. Btw, Iki tells me there are new women skins in beta.

Next, I’m really excited to show the latest update to Kimberly from Free Speerit. That’s right, its not a new line but a huge addition to the already established and well loved Kimberly collection.  I find this approach to skins unique. Releases like these give those who like the line wanting more and yet luring new customers to the collection. With the new release, Free Speerit has made the eyebrows to be tintable. Since I didn’t show it here, you have to see the bum on this skin – amazing!  Skin Shown: FS Skin – Kimberly (Butterfly)(Shaved)

By the way, the lingerie shown is the new set from Insolence. It’s called Caroline and comes in several light/pale colors. The panty is a french-cut type.

MOon is the paler tones where SUn, yup you guessed it, are more bronzed.  Regardless of the tone you choice, there are 12 makeups for your picking.  Each makeup is more unique than the last.  Iki also had reduced her skin prices to an all time low.  Its not only rare to find skins so yummy and inexpensive.  Check out Iki’s flickr stream to see some of the MOon makeups.  Also, click here to see the SUn skins in her flickr.

If you haven’t seen :: DUTCH TOUCH :: lately, I’m hoping you will stop in sometime soon. I even got a glimpse into an upcoming release … its a fantastic addition!!  TP to the store: :: DUTCH TOUCH ::

Basics are always hard to come by for us guys.  Not sure why designers don’t spend more time making solid quality tees and sweaters.  Iki totally got this one right.  With her jeans being a two-fer, they are a fantastic buy.  They come in ripped and standard… and, the kicker, they can be worn with or without the prim cuffs. Either way, the jeans look complete with the awesome shading and detailing.

For the tees and sweaters, in typical Dutch Touch style, they range in a wide variety of colors.  Also, they come on mostly all the layers.  I paired the tee and sweater together for the pics.  The tees come with prim cuffs and in two options, round or v-neck.

If you haven’t shopped at Dutch Touch, check ‘em out. Come back often too, I hear there are more and more items added for guys and girls.

For me, I generally wear the Summer tone.  The other tones are just a smooth and milky with the same contouring and shading.  Summer is a soft sunkiss or a slightly bronzey tone.  I may have to get back to relook at those lighter skins.  This is a problem. I want all the tones! 

Like I said, the big draw for this line is the uniqueness of the collection.  Iki has tried a few new variations to the old favs.  Take for instance the henna.  She did a gorgeous detailed mask that is showcased with a pale purple makeup. The colors and tones compliment the face so well.

As far as the body, I don’t see any noticeable changes to the appearance or shading.  Kinda hard to change something that has worked so well since the revamp a few months ago. With the purchase, there is a “pushup” option.  This skin has a more shaded chest to give the appearance of a push up bra or just perky bewbs. Who doesn’t want more perk?!

My only petpeeve for this skin is the lip color. I wish there was a brown-pink tone like the Indie line.  The OnYx line is full of light pinks, purples yellows and greens – perfect for spring.  Perhaps in upcoming lines more eathy tones with a brown lowlight (I love browns in makeups). Iki is continually changing her store’s layout and putting out new product.  The Dutch Touch collections are growing as well as her skins!

Head over to Dutch Touch to see all the skins, tones and, of course, the full clothing line.  Amazing work from this lady! Oh yeah, if you haven’t seen Dutch Touch in a while, come on back.  There is a sale on gift cards right now!! Pick up a card or two, share with your friends or go shopping for yourself.  Gotta love sales!
