Sultry Escape: The Matthew Feature

I’m checking in permanently. The vibe for this one is pure "vacation mode," and I needed a face that looked heated, hydrated, and sun-kissed. 

I turned to Loxian again to test out another tone of the "Matthew" skin, currently at Dreamday. If you are looking for that post-beach glow, this is the setup.

The Skin: Matthew EvoX (Sunny) I’m wearing the Matthew Skin in the 'Sunny' tone on the LeLutka Camden 4.0 head. The warmth in this specific tone is incredible it doesn't just look tan; it looks baked. I opted for the No Brows (NB) version to leave room for some heavy sculpting.

The Glow: Sculpting & Definition This look is all about facial structure. Loxian provides a great base, but the realism comes from the contouring.

• The Sculpt: I layered the Velour "Chad" addons (Cheek, Eyebag, Forehead) to deepen the shadows, then sharpened the center of the face with the Velour "Lustful" Snatch Nose.

• The Expression: To add some intensity to the gaze, I used the S-RANK Furrowed Brow. It gives the avatar that slight squint, like you’re looking into the sun.

The Grooming: Sharp & Veined To balance the heat, I kept the grooming sharp. The EGX "Sami" Hairbase and "Craig" facial hair blend seamlessly with the Volkstone mustache.

• The Grit: It wouldn't be my style without some edge. I added the GoK "Alpha Omega" tattoo (Hard Head/Medium Body) and Kokos head veins. It breaks up the "pretty" resort look and adds that necessary raw texture.

The Final Word: The 'Sunny' tone on the Matthew skin is a standout. It takes contouring layers like Velour incredibly well without losing its own texture. If you want a face that looks like it lives poolside, head to Dreamday.
