It's probably worth mentioning that many of the very realistic looking sims make subtle use of makeup to give additional visual structure to faces. I think the name of the default skin I use, "Primer", already suggests that idea. Because of my color vision, I abstain from doing this, as the resulting faces would probably look like that of a mandrill, and this means that my sims will always look a bit bland. However, even with default sliders alone, I think you can already get some decent results, even if it won't be "top tier".
I don't use much makeup but I almost always use this EA eyeliner on my sims

I make the opacity about half and change the color to go with the hair color to give subtle lower lashes.
I will use lipstick on the female sims and sometimes blush/face highlighting / face contouring on both genders.
P.S. You sims look good without makeup. :)
