Make no bones about it, to look your best in SL you HAVE to use a facelight. A facelight is the virtual equivalent of those fancy schmancy foundations that illuminate your skin and give you a flawless look,and just like in RL you can get cheap ‘n’ cheerful, or you can pay through the nose for an all singing all dancing number. Normally I’d tell you to opt for the latter. Seriously, a good face-light is an absolute must if you are in any way serious about your avatar’s appearance, and vain old cow that I am it’s an essential component of my wardrobe. I don’t leave the house without my face (light) on in the morning! It’s the essential avatar cosmetic…and you can get a GLORIOUS one for free right now from…Tesla. Yes, the Goddess of all that is shoeworthy herself has blessed us all with a freebie face light that’s perfectly optimised for our wondrous windlight world. Plus, because it’s a Tesla product you can be assured that she’s made a cracking job of it. You can get free face lights at various places across the grid, but some of them can be a tad garish and in darker settings make your face look like Times Square on New Years Eve. Tesla’s is just subtle enough to deal with unwanted shading, yet still make you look utterly radiant and defo worth one. Two if you’re lucky. I have no idea how long they will be available so my advice is go and get one NOW.
Oh, and have a look at the shoes while you’re there..just try not to cover them in drool. It really buggers up the virtual leather!
