SKIN DEEP
THE WOMAN AND MAN THAT CHOOSE ESSENCES SKINS IS
CONFIDENT AND OPEN-MINDED.
— Mr. Lambert
Story & Photography Beloved Ruby
By definition, essence can represent a few things
from the core to the heart, ethos, spirit... But it is
also what lends a subject or an individual its soul/
unique character. The same could be said of Mr.
Lambert, founder and creator of Essences Skins.
Mr Lambert’s attention to skin textures are —
without a doubt — exquisite and comparable to
that of a proficient fine art painter. His keen eye
for beauty extends to more than just facial features
alone — Mr Lambert is a perfectionist and prefers
to tackle the whole nine yards: Realistic skin
appliers, skin tones and all sundry.
Established in 2009, Essences started as a small
project that came with blood, sweet and tears, and
not to mention work stress, sleepless nights, “and a
lot of coffee — why not?” mused Mr.Lambert. “The
brand was created with the help of my partner at
the time, Metal Xaron, whose patience and support
throughout was very important to me,” he shared
and then regretfully admitted: “Unfortunately, we
are no longer associated.”
Despite being a one-man show today, Mr Lambert
continues to thrive on perfecting his craft, that is
his dedication to creating exceptional skins rather
that fuss with bells and whistles better described
as, “the robotic work of packaging products or
creating huds.”
Said the astute skinsman, “I think the most exciting
and beautiful thing happens when you discover
new features, characters and personalities during
the creative process [because it is these elements]
that bring them [the skins] to life,” he further enthused.
The future of Essences Skins is a bright one: There
will be a wider range of skins for both classic/default avatars, in addition to head appliers for both
genders and the ones that work with the Omega
system, too. There will also be creations of androgynous skins and its appliers — a market that SL
skin-makers rarely delve into. We can’t wait!
