ASU - Oct CBF2
This lovely skin from Mert & BusenuR is a phenomenal gift.  It includes system layers for classic avatars, and a bunch of specialized appliers, plus the all purpose Omega applier.  Not only that, the package includes no brow and cleavage options.

I love these subtly macabre spider web eyes from LadyBunny. The included appliers work great.  However, it’s also wonderful to know the box contains both mesh and system eyes. Thanks LadyBunny for making a product all avatars can enjoy!

And that’s a wrap.  Until next time, shop happy.

Finish off today’s look with another marketplace gift from Alli&Ali.  The Jessica gift only comes in one shade, purple.  Luckily for us, the hair is copy/mod which means a few tweaks in edit mode will create the exact color pictured above.  Set the Hex color to fa1605, glow to 0.15, and check the Full Bright box to wash that purple right out of your hair.

I, Zombie

ASU - ZombieCoverF
Thanks to a couple of great freebies, one each from Bossie and GothiCatz, we’ve assembled a chilling zombie look for you.  WARNING:  Not safe to wear this look around avatars named Rick Grimes, Daryl, or Michonne!
ASU - Zombie frontd
Bossie’s October group gift is this lovely decaying skin and eye applier set.  The appliers support Catwa, and Omega compatible mesh heads & bodies.  Included in the set is a gory, rotting, maggot infested mesh eye that any avatar can wear.  The creepy eye is definitely worth adding to your Halloween makeover tool chest.
Classic avatars don’t despair.  Though you can’t wear the Bossie appliers, you can still use the creepy mesh eye.  And, we looked though the marketplace and put together several tattoo layers to help create your own zombie skin, plus we found a dead eyes freebie.  You can see the classic look under the shoe picture.
ASU - Zombie back
The bloody dress is from GothiCatz.  It is sized to fit mesh and classic avatars, so everyone can commune with their inner zombie properly attired.  Best of all, it’s free for all visitors to the store, no group join required.

Sintiklia is also giving a great freebie this month to all store visitors.  Feast your eyes on the Lioness hair.  It’s a full fatpack, so you’re bound to find a color that appeals to your unique tastes.

Here’s our classic avatar version of today’s outfit.  The key to getting looks like this from free makeup finds is layering the tattoos.  Apparition gives a fantastic set of skin tint tattoos in their marketplace store.  The tints come in 4 strengths: 10%, 25%, 50%, and 75%.  You choose the tint shades and and layer over your own skin.  Or, you can wear the Zara skin gift from Corvus as your base to get the same look as our model.
