Freckleface at the Skin/Shape Expo

I’m grateful to the generosity of creators that sent review skins; you helped make this possible.  I can’t thank you enough.

Here is a compendium of freckled skins at the Skin/Shape Expo.  I’ve done my best to include all skin-makers in the Expo with freckled faces, however, if I have missed anyone, please let me know, and I’ll add them to this list.  I’ve tried to choose natural or bare skins, so that you can evaluate the skin itself, rather than the makeup.  This wasn’t possible in all cases.  For the most part, there’s one image per creator.  However, I’ve made exceptions for those that have significantly different faces or features available.  (There are a few demos in here; I’m sorry, it couldn’t be helped.)

All skins are worn with the same shape and brow, and no prim lashes were worn, in order to better show the eye-makeup and drawn-on lashes (where applicable).  The skins will look different on your own shape — this includes the eyes, nose, mouth, the works.  So don’t necessarily dismiss a skin that you don’t care for on my shape.  Do try it on for yourself, and see how it fits you.

Now, this post is of course all about the freckles.  How big are the freckles — barely bigger than pores, or more substantial?  Are they just across the bridge of the nose, or do they extend to the rest of the face?  Do the freckles continue down along the collarbone?

How is the face?  This really gets down to personal preference, and what kind of face you prefer.  Hand-drawn or photo-sourced?  Highly detailed and realistic, or idealized and doll-like?  Is the overall shading of the face too flat, or too heavily shaded?  Are there painted-on lashes?  Are the brows detailed, or softly smudged?  Is there good detail around the shape of the eye, and how is the eye crease?  Is the nose soft, or bulbous, or pointy?  How is the mouth shape, and how will it fit on your face?  (You really need to try these on to see for yourself on this one.)  And while I haven’t shown full bodies here, is the collarbone defined to your liking?
