Baiastice New Hair attachments

On my last post I already told you Sissy Pessoa from Baiastice had released her new collection of hair attachments and teased you with one of my favourites called Dolly. Today I am going to show you another 9 gorgeous styles available on this very complete collection of sexy ponytails, glamorous updos, rocky crests and stylish cuts. To spicy it up a little bit, since I wrote my first tutorial on how to easily edit your lashes last week, I decided to mix them with different lashes just to show you some more options, hope you enjoy them.

1. Baiastice Yodi in blonde with Glow Studio Devilicious eyelashes

2. Baiastice Big Crest in black with Glow Studio Innocent eyelashes gentle

3. Baiastice Alec in red with Glow Studio Innocent eyelashes pure

4. Baiastice Fujiko in black with FNKY Cake Vamp lashes

5. Baiastice Crest in red with FNKY Cake Wing lashes

6. Baiastice Miranda in brown with FNKY Cake Deco lashes

7. Baiastice Billy in brown with LeLutka 2011 lashes

8. Baiastice Great Night in red with CCD Jewels eyelashes

9. Baiastice Rosario in blonde with LeLutka photoshoot eyelashes

If you are worried about the attachments not matching your skin don't fear, hair bases in tattoo form are also available on store in 12 different colours to fit all different tastes. Besides that hairs are also modify, so small tone modifications can be made if your hair color is slightly different than the ones available. For example in the first picture I added pink undertones to the base red peach hair to finish off my Rihanna look.

LOTD - GizzA and Baiastice

It is no secret I am a big fan of Gizza designs but honestly,I think Giz Seorn has outdone herself this time. Amorah 2 has not only the realistic textures and good cut we expect from Gizza but also perfectly well finished sculpties and lots of little details that made this piece an instant favourite as soon as I saw it on the store poster.

To make my day perfect Sissy Pessoa fromBaiastice also released her new collection of hair attachments and of course there you had me drooling at the posters and getting them all . As always they are all fabulous, from the classy updo's to the fancy ponytails, there are also some punk inspired crests and cuts but to match this unique design I had to chose the truly artistic Dolly that gives the whole look a final mysterious allure.

Red is the color of hope!

Yes, I know the color of hope is actually green, but this beautiful dress from Azul  called Esperanca, despite being red, is a fabulous way to give hope to those in need and raise money for the Red Cross which is scaling up its relief operations to help meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of survivors who are now housed in evacuation centers following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

Hair is my long time favourite Tiffany from Vanity Hair, nails are number P060 Manish Red from Candy Nails and both earrings and eyelashes come from je suis... by Julia Merosi. I have used the ones with cute red hearts but you can find these four different designs on store and these lashes are the easy to fit ones that you can move prim by prim to fit your eyes. In order to help your lashes fit perfectly I also wrote a small adjusting lashes tutorial for those who may need it, you can read it clicking here.

How to fit your prim eyelashes.

Cake eyelashes.

Fitting prim lashes seems to be a common problem for a lot of residents out there so I have decided to write a very small lashes tutorial to share with you all. Please understand this is how I do it, I am sure there are many other ways to make prim lashes work and I am also sure there are very good tutorials out there but I have found this way to be very easy because I change my lashes frequently and I lack the patience to edit them to perfection every time I wear them. 

1. Make a copy of your lashes first.

2. Make sure you made a copy of your lashes.

3. Wear a alpha layer to hide SL default lashes. (I use the alpha layers from Sindecade) *

4. Wear a tattoo eye-liner. You can go dramatic at this point but it is very important that you have upper and lower eyelid line so you have a place to position your lashes at. (I use the pack from Baiastice which includes several eyeliners with and without tattoo lashes for a more dramatic final effect).

5. Wear your lashes, get on a pose stand, click ctrl+0 until you are inside your brain and start editing your lashes heavily using edit linked parts. Move them up and down, back and forward but avoid rotating unless you are avid for adventure.

6. When you think they are perfect, zoom around and discover they are still pretty weird. Get back on the posestand and continue editing, zooming and rotating your camera until they are perfect.

7. Read 6 again. Please. Thank you. Remember if you screw up you can always do Ctrl+z do undo last step. In case you screw up badly delete and go back to step 2.
8. There are different kinds of prim lashes. The ones that have an alpha texture plus and the lashes texture  on them, for example LeLutka old version, FNKY Cake or Glow lashes are usually bigger and more dramatic and these lashes are easier to adjust if you use a good eye liner that fills the empty spots they may leave on your eyelids border. Then we have fully sculpted prim eyelashes which I find easier to adjust for beginners because you just need patience to edit prim by prim but they end up looking perfect, examples are je suis..., CCD jewels and the new LeLutka 2011. Choosing one or another depends on your style and personal taste but also on your eye shape, since some lashes will be easier to adjust for certain eyes. 

Je suis lashes 1 and 2 with alpha layer and eyeliner.

9. When you are done remember to manually detach your prim lashes and attach them again, this way you make sure SL saves the prims position and they will be ready next time you want to use them.

10. Enjoy, beautiful detailed perfectly fitted eyelashes.

I don't care what they say out there, prim lashes when fitted correctly, always look way better than tattooed ones. What I do sometimes is wear both tattoo and prim lashes, which makes your eyes gain depth and every single spot is filled making your eyes look really beautiful. For some dramatic effects I also wear 2 different prim lashes together, attaching one to nose and the other one to mouth.

Also remember that if you wear an eye-shadow without eye-liner on v2.0  you can add a liner layer over it in order to make your lashes fit perfectly, but you need to add that layer AFTER the shadow and not before it, like I did on the picture above.

I hope you have found my first tutorial useful and easy to follow and for those of you who were afraid or scared of using prim lashes before I also hope you will at least give them a try now.

*EDIT 1: Adding a help on how to use Trins Alpha layers.

You need to grab the "Trins Alpha Layer Set Pro" from Sindecade store. First make a copy of the alpha layer given and rename it for example "no lashes" wear it and then right click and choose edit. Once the edition window opens just click on HEAD ALPHA square and choose the alpha texture from your Trins folder called: Alpha Mask - Head 0 (hide eyelashes) yes the square should be black. Save and Exit. Now you have your No lashes alpha layer ready to use whenever you need it.Please remember that if you are already using an alpha layer on, for instance, your boots, you can still right click and select ADD to wear both alpha layers on any v2.0 compatible viewer.
