Counting Freckles on Elizabeth

After a long journey—well, okay, not that long…except this heat makes everything crawl along, especially my brain—we’ve arrived at the final of the four new skins from Blowpop, Elizabeth. She’s the palest of the four skins, and she is charmingly freckled in a very natural way. I am showing Elizabeth with the Caroline updo from Adam n Eve, and since she looks lovely in all shades of red and brown I went with this striking bronze colour which really shows off sachi’s new hair textures.

Elizabeth’s four tones range from a nice, natural pale and through to a bit of a tan in the darkest tone. The freckles are found not just one the face but also on the chest and upper arms, and they do much to define the character of the skin. I am particularly fond of the lightest two tones, but I think the darker two also work very well with the freckles.

The shading, highlights and other details of the body, except of course for the freckles, are the same as for Maya, Carmen and Ava, but once again very well adapted to Elizabeth’s specific skin tones. No surprise, then, that I really like Elizabeth from top to toe.

Style Notes & Slurls

Skins: Elizabeth Tone C Cherry Blossom 1, Mulberry Wine 2, Graphite 1 and Twilight 2 Blowpop
Hair: Caroline Bronze by Adam n Eve

While the freckles and her facial features do seem to lend themselves best to sweet and charming, Elizabeth still offers a range of makeups that isn’t just about being subtle and girly. With the paler lip option offered with each makeup, you can certainly have some very natural-looking faces, but you also get some really bold red lips. Pick one of the makeups with a more defined eye and a nice dark lip and suddenly Elizabeth is looking quite sultry.

All together the four N2 skins at Blowpop—Maya, Carmen, Ava and Elizabeth—offer a total of 16 distinct skin tones, and each skin comes in 6 makeup sets where you get two lipstick colours with each.
