📋 About This Mod
I personally don't like the look of the vanilla eye makeup. I got the idea to make this after trying to make a female warden and getting hung up on how her eyeshadow looked. This changes it so that the eyeshadow is confined to the eyelids and not the side of the nose.
It will work with all makeup-wearing NPCs. To install just drop it in your override. It won't work with another mod that replaces this file if there even is one.

If you're a modder or casual player who wants a quick visual fix without overhauling the whole face system, this is for you. Skip if you want comprehensive makeup options or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture/mesh replacement, make sure to place it after other mods that alter the face or makeup in your load order.
- If you use a mod manager, preview the change in-game by opening the character creation menu to see the difference.
- Check if the mod requires the Unofficial Skyrim Patch for compatibility, though not stated, it's a common dependency for such fixes.
