I love lashes, my avatar feels naked without them! I won’t go anywhere without my prim/mesh lashes, so I’m always looking for new ones to add to my collection. Mon Cheri just released the new Falsies lashes that includes a fantastic HUD to change between 3 styles, and different textures style such as Solid, Dipped, Glitter, Natural, or even plain White, so you can tint them any color you want!
I think that these lashes are really nice, and easy to fit, but they’re also very full & long. When I wear these, I will probably not wear the lower lashes, and just wear the top lashes + some more subtle lower lashes. The Mon Cheri lash pack includes a top prim, bottom prim, plus top+bottom prim.
A lot of people don’t know the difference between their mesh lashes, cos I see the same questions being asked over and over again. The most popular one is, “Why are my lashes clumpy?” Because you’re wearing mesh Individual Prim Lashes or Sculpted Prim Lashes (these are the only two styles that will clump). There’s probably a fix to this, but not if you like to have your graphics set to Ultra & with shadows turned on.
A Guide to Lashes:
Mesh Individual Prim Lashes = Individual lashes, no alpha glitching, will clump from far away.
Mesh Alpha Texture Lashes = Single prim with alpha texture applied, does NOT clump, has alpha glitch with the default lash (darn bug that LL fixes, and breaks with each viewer update).
Other lash styles:
Prim Alpha Lashes = What we all have. They’re just regular prims with alpha texture applied. I love these though, cos the lashes are so fine & pretty!
Sculpted Prim Lashes = Similar to Mesh Individual Lashes
Texture Lashes = tattoo layer
Mesh Alpha Texture Lashes are great! I love my S@R ones, but I usually pair it with something else on the top lashes to make it fuller. To have really great lashes, you should wear the lash alpha to get rid of the default SL lashes AND add a black eyeliner, this will fill in any gaps and create a nice smooth line where the prim meets your eyelid.
Do you have any other tips to add to this? What are YOUR favorite lash brands or lash styles?
For Clawtooth’s first mesh hair, this is pretty nice. Very interested in any future mesh endeavors from Clawtooth.
And, gah, these eyes are so detailed and gorgeous!
Discovered Mayfly eyes recently and they’re my current fave, the only thing that bugs me about them is for some reason the iris always seem to be half hidden under my eyelid, they’re so pretty it feels a waste as walking round only the bottom half of them is visible. I’ve started using my auto eye focus hud just so I can force the eyes to look forwards and so the whole iris is visible. This is an issue with all SL eyes but it seems worse with Mayfly for some reason.
Clawtooth have been going for years but their styles were always too rigid looking for me. They don’t make much use of flexi strands to soften the look. Now with mesh hair being more popular, which by it’s nature is quite solid looking, I’m sure they’ll be more in their element. My favourite mesh styles are those that combine mesh with flexi prims to create a natural looking style. I don’t like wearing hair that looks like I’m walking around with a plastic wig on lol.
BTW, talking of hair, has anyone else noticed Truth’s styles are getting bigger and more bouffant-y with each new release?! Thank the SL gods for Elika, otherwise my picky ass would be walking round bald.
@ Libby: When I was noob I liked so much truth, but now I don`t like it anymore, the colors are always the same, styles very similar, and doesn`t say anything to me. I like very much elikatira and lamb, but also Exile has impressed me with this new hair available at culture shock.
Hey, GoGo.
I totally agree with you on the color… it’s so upsetting when the actual design is fabulous but the color or texture is off. Ugh! Frustrating much! You still look fantastic. I loved your Pay-It-Forward.
Love,
Sorcha
At least she has blonde. I’m still waiting on black. lol
Stunning eyes!
