When you go shopping for skins, look for demos, and check them out!  The demo skins will be the best way to understand how well you like a skin shop’s work.  The skin signs will not show exactly how that makeup or shading along the body will really look on  you, but a Demo skin for free or for L$1 will give you the whole truth of the quality and whether it’s to your liking, and will ultimately save you hundreds more Linden dollars down the road through trial and error.  Look for appealing shading on the skins, for your body type.  Skin prices can range from few hundred  Linden dollars to over L$1000, depending on skin creator.
