Makeup keeps changing on it's own

Is anyone else having this issue? It's getting very irritating having to constantly change my sims makeup back to the way I originally had it.

    I don't know if this will help but when you are creating your Sim and you get to the make-up part, you have to 'unlock' that lock in the top right corner; then make the necessary adjustment; then 'lock' the lock back once you're completed. Do not leave that section until you lock it back. The make-up should then remain the same for each outfit. I hope this helps.
    I was having this same issue, and no matter if I locked it or unlocked it, it kept changing back to the stupid batman eye makeup. I was using a 3 shade eyeshadow, and as soon as I switched to a 1 shade, I stopped having the issue.

  • I know it's been a while, but I'm still having this issue... I've tried everything here. Any solutions? It's so annoying. For me though, it's replacing the eye shadow I want with the eye shadows from Into The Future
  • You have to have the "'use this makeup for all outfits" locked in,and unlocked if you want to choose different for each outfit.

    Keep in mind some makeup choices are flagged for different occasions same as outfits like how you can wear a certain dress for everyday and formal but not sleepwear.Makeup follows the same rule in some cases check to see if that is your issue.
  • @CravenLestat The make up I want is unlocked for all outfits, and I've tried locking, unlocking, everything. I ended up having to go with a different eye shadow from the base game.
  • I have this problem even if locked, the only ones that stay put are single color eyeshadows and lipstick.

    I have this issue too. I unlock the makeup, add the eyeliner and lipstick to casual and formal outfits only, then save, but when I try to edit the sim I can see that the makeup still "unlocked", but added to all outfits. It's annoying, I don't want my sims to sleep with makeup, it looks strange.
  • Somebody in this thread was talking that with them it was only happening with ambitions and supernatural makeup. Is that the case with more people, or does it happen to any 3 tone eyeshadow? Also are you guys using cc makeup or ea?

    I use normal, EA makeup. No eyeshadows. Only eyeliner and/or lipstick. Even when unlocked, keeps being added to all outfits.

    What I do is "unlock" while applying then "lock" it back when done. I haven't had any problems since I started doing that.
