-Overview-

This mod is a continuation of the Vanilla Warpaints Absolution mod, which replaced all of the warpaints for every race and gender, this mod is to complete my collection of high-quality vanilla tintmasks, to increase the quality of the vanilla colors/makeups for not only males/females, but also for the beast races. This mod includes tintmasks for them as well!

Whats included?

All vanilla makeups/colors (as well as dirts) redone by hand and in up to 4K quality, each having a unique style and matching closely to the vanilla, though I did make a few small adjustments where I felt it improved the quality. This mod can replace tintmasks for Males, Females, Argonians, and Khajiit characters, you can choose to install them all, or install each individually according to your liking.

Whats planned for the future?

I want to redo some of the beast race ones when I get the chance, otherwise you can let me know in the posts what you think could be done to improve some of these!
