Skin Fair 2025 – Catwa, Autograph & VelvetVue

I love the transformation fun you can have with an event like Skin Fair—the chance to see yourself in a completely different way than you’d normally be drawn to when just out shopping. The option to try it all and potentially find a version of yourself you didn’t even know was there.

Today’s look isn’t my usual, but it’s almost familiar in a way. The skin definitely has an Asian influence, and paired with the clothing, it gives off one of those K/J Drama looks I love. Honestly, if I could grab all the clothing from any of the dramas I binge, I’d be in fashion heaven. Especially the wintery looks—because, as I’ve mentioned before, while we do have winter in Australia, it never becomes about fashion the same way it does in other countries. Fashion is such a huge part of K/J Dramas that there are even websites listing every outfit from each episode so you can shop. Or so I’ve heard—I dare not actually look, or I might fall into a rabbit hole of awesome.

While the bare tummy and hips may not be the best for cold weather, the short-legged cut of these pants was just too cute to resist. Plus, it gave me the perfect chance to show off my shoes by Breathe. These sneakers are so fun—you can change every part of them, so you could go wild or just colour-coordinate your look like I did, there is even a with short socks version, adorable. I also am a huge fan of hat hair, you may have noticed that in the past, so when Mina made this beanie hair I was so excited to find a chance to wear it and today was that chance, the turtleneck sweater though meant that I could not wear the matching scarf that comes with, but I can save that for another day.

The head I’m wearing is the latest by Catwa, available now at Skin Fair. It has a great base for a variety of skin looks, and the HUD is incredibly detailed, with a separate animation HUD that could keep you entertained for days. One thing that often goes unspoken when playing around with shapes is brow shape, which, by default, is called ‘hair’ when it comes to system layers—something that confuses so many people. Honestly, I wish they’d just add those sliders to the shape (appearance mode). I felt so strongly about it that I actually paused writing this to put it in a feedback canny for the Lindens—so vote it up if you agree HERE!

All in all, I got my face exactly how I wanted it for this skin, which is part of the fun. I imagine that’s how most shape creators spend their time when crafting looks. The skin is by Autograph—they have a few different options at their Skin Fair booth, and I really wanted to step outside the box with this one. I am actually using the Alt3 body layers for this match up with neck blenders, because I don’t have the tones they had available in the Velour, but I think it was a great match overall, you can often luck out that way. I remember when we used to blog every skin release—those days have definitely changed. Now, most people stick to looking like themselves all the time. Even when they switch skins, it’s usually just a fresher version—like they’ve had a spa day rather than a complete transformation. The eyes I am wearing are by VelvetVue, they not only include appliers for particular heads, but also bom layers and mesh eyes that you can use for other heads with their own appliers if yours are not already covered, that is just awesome, and the eyes via applier have three variations to each colour, again I could dive into those for days.
