Hmm, no response.

Again: not in the interest to offend, but this is me wearing all pieces shown on the first picture. The mask is slightly lighter than the rest of the pieces; the chest is a H-cup with the "floating point" design that makes it easier to wear. Though the "pants" aren't shown on the second one, they have extra material on the hip and rear area, and are large enough to have me wear them with extreme ease - in fact, I think it's the best fitting undergarments I've ever worn, even though they're pretty heavy. I can add some extra padding to make them look even bigger.

Posting some more pics with the set-up. This one is a mirror selfie with the full outfit. The top is a bit tight on the chest, squishing it, whereas the jeans are loose-fitting and hide the curves somewhat.

Note that the top doesn't reach all the way down to my waist, but the bottom prosthetic stretches upward. Also: I wore no corset or body-shaping garment; that's my actual belly that you see.

Top-down shot. This one shows how the top is shaping the breasts inward, creating cleavage, and the jeans design.

Apparently still nothing. I could just easily move these to the Selfie thread, but I'll keep these here for now.

This picture has a good image of the skin color contrast between the mask, the prosthetics, and my own. The mask is a bit lighter than the prosthetics, making it the closest fit; I presume that's one reason why masking and crossdressing in a darker skin tone is more difficult, as the different companies have different views of these colors. (That, and it's more noticeable than on lighter skin colors - though it's not that it's unnoticeable.) The end result, though, is as if I had placed some lighter makeup on my face. And of course, it's a good point to evaluate just how much of a contrast from my usual skin color to the new one.

Also: >>1131 has a good shot of the wig I used, which is curiously enough one of the styles that WOC seem to prefer. This wasn't exactly a deliberate choice; it was essentially spur of the moment, but also a style I wanted to observe myself with.

This is from a different date, where I chose to wear my favorite top alongside the newer, lighter denim jacket. I still use the same pants as the previous date, since I was afraid my favorite jeans would be too small for the new booty. (Turns out, it doesn't.)

This is an attempt to see how I'd look with my favored style with these prosthetics, by the way. I went with different wig styles in this shoot, mostly to observe how they contrast with the new skin tone. Mostly what I do with the Haena and Hathaway.

Different shot, this time with my eyelids partially closed. Again, this is another great comparison point - the eyelids, while they aren't a perfect fit, do seem to be closer to the mask's color than others. Perhaps it's color correction from my phone or something, but it makes it harder to perceive I'm under a mask.

Angle shot.

This photo has two great things to notice. First, beyond being one of my favorite wigs, this look blends well with the eyebrows, which are actually plucked in rather than painted. The second is that this angle seems to draw the best of the mask itself - seamless eye position, as well as the best example of the mask's color.

Mirror selfie with left hand.

While I got two other selfies at different angles, this one has a great combination of what I want to project in terms of look. I usually tend to showcase a "rocker girl" look with all the other masks, and I wanted to see how I'd pull off that look with a different skin tone. I feel this shot best showcases the contrast between skin tone and look, at least in comparison to similar shots with lighter skin tones.

Then again, maybe I just like the look and want to show it as many times as I can?

That's not me in the picture, but this mask really appeals to me. It's somewhat relevant to the topic although it obviously isn't meant to mimic a darker skin tone but rather draws from latex fetishism aesthetics.

I just can't decide between this one and the normal one. Sorry for OT.

I've also been a bit enticed by the Poppy - particularly the vampire version with the fangs. I understand it's suited for the bonding fetishists because of the added gag, but it's a good point - it's just too dark.

Come to think about it: just how many non-light skin female masks exist out there? I recall CFX had the Denise mask, but that was female fit, and I think I got the other two (a Kathy mask and the one I show in these pics). It'd be great for those wishing to enter masking to have more options other than Caucasian or Asian.

Figured I'd show off one last batch of photos with different wig styles in order. I often like to see the combinations, and this isn't the exception. This is the short human-hair wig look, as the first comparison.

Isometric angle, this time with open eyes.

This one also shows the outline of the breastplate and a good contrast between the color of the mask and the rest of the prosthetics.

(Kind of) signature look with short hair wig.

If you see my eyes red, it's because wearing the mask for too much causes me a bit of allergies, and it shows.

Since the mask has a full neck, I had to wear it under the breastplate, which may be the reason the neck looks so awkward.

Side look with closed eyes.

This one, as well as the first photo with the short wig, have me with closed eyelids. This is something that I can't seem to control at times, mostly because of the camera from the phone I'm using shuttering seemingly a second later. However, in this case, it's an interesting shot because it showcases my own eyelid without makeup. Does the mask blend well with my natural eyelid?

Switching to short bob-cut cherry red wig.

Another thing you can notice is that the mask isn't very expressive, making me look way too serious. I can change it through a bit of effort and different angles, though - one thing I definitely like to explore. I'd dare say it's a great deal of the fun of masking: how to make it much more realistic.

Side isometric shot, which happens to have a slight catch-up of the mirror.

I personally feel this wig doesn't seem to fit the mask (much like the Haena, it seems to yearn for blonde wigs), but I like this one despite the "bored" look, mostly because that capture gives a good show of just how good the breastplate covers the shoulder blade. It almost makes me feel like I'm fully covered.

Side look with...uh, dark fuchsia (or maybe wine?) ombre bob wig. (I get weird wigs sometimes...)

It's a pretty interesting half-body shot, particularly because the way the lips pose feels different from the stiffness of the other photos. Maybe it's the angle or just how the wig looks on me?

Finishing with selfie shot on mirror. This one also happens to have a good look on the whole outfit (and also on the curves!).

Well, I also took a couple of pics with this prosthetic setup. Wig is mid-length ombre blonde lace-front bob, top is new, pants are older but since I could combine them with the boots, I decided to go as short as possible this time.

This pic shows off a bit of the wig itself. It's longer on the front than on the back, which I like.

Booty shot. Just gratuitous booty shot. That's all. Really.

Body shot, though it doesn't show the legs. As usual, the idea is to simulate an hourglass figure, and I hope that I nailed it, but it always depends on the corset.

This shot, which I took while sitting down, shows everything a bit better, including the boots. These are knee-length boots, which seem to have faux-fur inside. The lower prosthetic in this color reaches all the way down to the knees, which is the reason why I chose the very short pants this time.

Also: the lower light helps everything blend in.

Another body shot, this time showing more leg. As you can see, there's no gap between the leg prosthetic and the boots, making everything feel a bit more natural.

I'd love silicone gloves of this color, though.

And to wrap things up, a double boob shot for y'all. (If you hadn't noticed until now, I wasn't wearing a bra in this shot.)

Can't remove the stain on the left boob, though, so let's assume it's my birthmark or something, mmkay?

Been a while, and I had these from last year, so let's deal with them.

Here's me wearing one of the new blonde bob wigs and one of the new tops (at the time, of course). I'm wearing the breastplate neck over the mask bib, which is why it's so obvious.

Top-down shot to show up ensemble.

And the customary "side shot to show curves".

That's a nice ass!

Pic in alternate room. Many of the photos I took here are either blurry or eyes ended up weird. Also, the mask was stored in such a way that it warped a bit on the side, which is more noticeable here as I'm wearing it.

Top-down shot with pouty lips.

Ending up with this profile shot.

Thanks! I aim to please. I definitely like working on the curves, both up and down.

It's been a while, isn't it? (Year's about to end and I'm still showing photos from *last* year...) Gonna post some photos here and some photos on the other thread.

This one is a coat I got for myself, trying to look professional. Turns out I ended up looking like one of those old, cranky office ladies instead.

Then again, maybe not that old and cranky. (Missing the glasses, I think.)

Standing shot, showing off the coat.

The coat is plus-sized, somewhere between 3X and 4X size, but for Western sizes. Hence, why it's oversized.

Then again, it's relatively cheap and looks functional for a costume.

Full body shot.

As you can notice, I'm only wearing the coat, a stretchy top (which you've already seen), some underwear and knee-high boots. The coat *barely* reaches below the thighs, which is a shame because I had no good fitting skirt to match, and because I wanted it to be larger.

As for the breasts - I'm taking advantage of the stretchy top to use others, but for the most part I'm wearing a smaller breastplate under it. This causes both the larger size and also the drop down - they're on my chest, but on the lower half of the chest rather than the upper part.

Selfie on alternate room.

This, I feel, is one of the better angles for the outfit. Note that it's the same camera and no filters - the angle and different light intensity did the trick.

It actually makes me look more professional, don't you think? (Which is the whole purpose of buying this coat in the first place!)

Trying some new poses.

This one in particular has me crossing my leg, showing some thigh. I need to lean towards one side to get a better picture.

Not sure exactly what it is about this one, but I particularly like it. It's like a busty office lady posting selfies while out a lunch or something, and were it not for the fact that this is the kind of thing we do here, if I saw the thumbnail posted somewhere on the internet I might not even guess that's a mask.

I dont think you should be concerned about raceplay beind a bad thing. Skinsuits are about the other the...contrast and difference and changing race is part of that appeal. Ive seen white maskers turn into black women and thats becoming more common nowadays. I think you should not worry to much and just enjoy what youre doing without feeling concerned about feeling racist or whatever. I'd love to take a spin as an asian chick but none of the Aisan fitting masks seem right for my face so its a shame.

Just look in the mirror and enjoy what you see, and if you dont oike it you can change it. ;)

Well put. Thanks for sharing your opinion. I like how it deals with the appeal of masking outside of personal reasons - it is, as you said, a play on contrasts at its core, because it lets you be someone that you aren't.

I'll admit I made this thread out of cautiousness - given how easy it is to anger people, I didn't wanna offend the few people that enjoy this as a hobby, as an expression or even out of kinkiness. Considering how the very act of masking can be offensive to people (though the consensus seems to verge on "weird", apparently), I figured touching on the community's consensus would help clear things out.
