📋 About This Mod
Makeup and Tattoo Edits
Replacements for some of the makeup and tattoos in the game. It works for all races and genders/body types except dragonborn.
At some point, I'd like to add more styles and work out how to make them standalone, but figured I'd share as is for now. See images to see what replaces what.
For the tattoos, I highly recommend downloading a mod that adds in extra tattoo colours, such as P4 Custom Tattoo and Makeup Colours.
Disclaimer: As with the vanilla makeup, some eyeliner styles will appear warped on some presets (namely on deeper set and more rounded eyes). This is not a bug on my part, it's the result of all presets sharing the same makeup texture file. As of now, there's no way around this.
To install:
- Open zip file and place Data folder into your Baldur's Gate directory
(example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,080 endorsements and 77k downloads.
- Simple cosmetic tweak that freshens up character creation.
- Lightweight mod that doesn't overhaul the whole system.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects select eyeliners and tattoos—not a full overhaul.
- Last updated in 2023—may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
For players who want subtle visual variety in character creation without a heavy overhaul. If you're looking for a complete makeup and tattoo expansion, this might be too limited. Skip if you want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's file structure to see if it replaces textures directly—if so, just drop the files into your game's Data folder.
- If you use a mod manager, install it there to keep track of it easily.
- Make a backup of your original game files before replacing anything, just in case.
