This is a nicely modeled no-frill line of skins, with no obvious flaws and without the kludge normally found in skins this price.
Lights and shadows are well placed and softly modeled -- there's no sense of flatness. Darks look like shadows, not like mud stains. Lights are not overstated, successfully avoiding a metallic look.
The line of Dee Skins works more successfully for lighter skinned avatars. I bought the six lightest tones. "Snowflake" is like a baby-skin pink. "Morning" is what many skinmakers might call "sunkissed". "Tan" has the orange cast of worked-on sunbathing over several weeks. "Wheat" is a brownish-yellow of a tan worked on over a season.
I know a woman with a light complexioned African-American av, convincingly using both Wheat and Tan.
The darker tones in the series are less successful than the lighter ones. Beginning at Wheat, through Mocha etc, the modeling becomes lost in overall darkness -- basically a problem of too low contrast, which needs to be punched up a bit beginning at "Golden", and is drastically needed for the really dark skin sets.
I use tattoo layers for makeup, so I appreciate that these skins have none. I've become frustrated buying so-called "no-makeup" skins -- which usually means no blush, no lipstick, no shadow, but have a ton of mascara. Here there’s no worry. No makeup means no makeup, so be prepared for a plain-looking face out of the box.
Aside from dwindling success in skin tones darker than Wheat or Golden, the only negatives I have for this line of skins is that they're less translucent than I'd like, and that there isn't a no-cleavage version. At this price, those would be nit-picking complaints. These skins exceed all reasonable expectation at 10L$ a pop.
Fve stars definitely for the range Snowflake through Tan. Do try the demo if you need lighter skin tones and can handle your own makeup. You won't look like an oiled and airbrushed covergirl -- but you will look healthy.
