Dark Skin tones textures around nose/eyes/mouth (Patch 1.69)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.69.57.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Most, this is not anything to do with packs though.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get a custom dark skin tone.
What happens when the bug occurs? The eye area has a "mask" texture.
What do you expect to see? A normal skin.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I got the new skin update which was supposed to fix this.

This shows the broken detail.
