📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
All five makeup remover mods have been consolidated into this one page. They're available separately, so you can pick and choose which ones you want.
These were made with the toolkit, but the Patch 6 versions do work in Patch 7.
For Patch 6 users, the previous versions are under Old Files.
ISOBEL APPEARANCE EDIT OPTIONS
Unfortunately, this method of removal also makes some of her freckles, and blush less prominent.
AYLIN MAKEUP REMOVER OPTIONS
Option 1
This option simply removes her makeup, but leaves her skin alone. She will have more tired and dark looking eyes.
Option 2
This option both removes her makeup, and changes her Skin Preset, in an effort to remove additional shadow around the eyes.
COMPATIBILITY
These mods do not edit the .dds makeup or tattoo files, but instead edit the character's head _merged.lsf file.
Any mod that edits the MaterialBank used by the characters' head models will be incompatible with this one. As such, this mod will also affect any mod that the characters' head models if no edits have been made to the MaterialBank values.

A compact cosmetic mod that removes makeup from five Baldur's Gate 3 companions: Karlach, Minthara, Shadowheart, Aylin, and Isobel. With 223 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads, it's a niche but popular choice for players who prefer a more natural look for these characters. Last updated in March 2025.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 223 endorsements and over 6k downloads—clearly a hit for those who want it.
- Does exactly what it says: strips makeup from five key companions, no bloat.
- Recently updated (March 2025), so it's likely compatible with current game patches.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects five characters—if you wanted makeup removal for other companions, you're out of luck.
- No screenshots or detailed description provided, so you're flying blind on the exact look.
- Author doesn't specify install method—might require manual file placement or a mod manager, unclear.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who want a more natural appearance for Karlach, Minthara, Shadowheart, Aylin, and Isobel. If you're into character visual overhauls and prefer less glam, this is a quick fix. Skip if you want broader cosmetic changes or gameplay tweaks—this is purely about makeup.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a cosmetic mod, make sure to place the files in the correct Mods folder (typically under AppData/Local/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/Mods).
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex, you can install it directly—just check the mod's file structure first.
- Load order shouldn't matter for a simple makeup remover, but if you have other appearance mods, put this one after them to ensure it overrides.
