📋 About This Mod
A retexture of almost all the makeup options (eye shadow and liner, lipstick, and blush) in the character creator, though at the moment it's only for female head 5, or "Mariah".
While I appreciate what they were going for with the default funky/sci-fi options, I found that I really didn't use them for my characters, and the more 'normal' options were way too limited and I'd end up using the same makeup for every face. There is one mod out there that changes it, but only for female head 10, which I personally don't use. And so this mod was... well... started.
Originally I had every intention of doing these for every preset (starting with my personal faves and then moving on to the others by apparent popularity), but I got burned out. Especially since the process involves a whole lot of - change texture (as in paint it by hand)... create fbmod... install fbmod... go into game... find it looks stretched/uneven/gross applied to the actual face... take screenshot... fix it... and repeat. And each preset has its own makeup mask with slight differences to account for the head shape. Which is why I only ever finished Mariah's, since I originally made this for my character I was playing at the time. And since I finished that playthrough and temporarily uninstalled MEA to make room on my hard drive it'll be a while before I get around to doing the others. So I'm releasing what I have so far at least since it's sat on my computer doing nothing for months now.
Also, while I found my comparison screens, I don't know what I did with all my pictures I took of different makeup looks to show off what's possible. So any screens you guys can upload of your characters would be much appreciated :)
