Is it driving anyone else crazy that we have such a poor selection choice for makeup? We need more blush, eyeshadows and lipsticks!

I won't say it's driving me crazy but I do wish we had more options. As it is now, I tend to stick to one of each category (blush, eye shadow, etc.). I also wish we had an opacity slider or something because I think that would make even more of the options more usable. Some are too saturated for my liking. I like my Sims to have a more natural look, with the exception of they're formal wear.

Fortunately it’s one of the easier areas to address through CC, if you’re willing to go that route.

I'm just too lazy to update everything with each patch :D. I do appreciate the creators out there though. They do a really good job.

I'm not really a makeup person irl and I tend to put very little makeup on my Sims but even someone like me has to agree with this. Specially for blush, we have barely any.

I'd appreciate more options. But I think the bigger issue for me is the lack of an opacity slider. I'd find myself using more of the makeup we have if we had that.

The lipstick that came in RoM I really love as well as the lipstick and eyeshadow from a few updates back to base game. Works well wirh my dark sims. Cause most makeup just didn't compliment warmer to darker skintones.

Think now I'd just want some more blush and lipstick from matte to bstter glods.

all the blush we have now looks stupid on paler sims so I wish there was something for them that would look little more natural

+contour for all skintones pls since there is always that "I don't quite want to commit plastic surgery but I still want their face to look kinda defined"

also more eyeshadows I am always using like 2 same ones for all my sims cause others look off

also some wild drag makeup be cool option since we got gender settings and all

lipsticks idk I'd like more sort of natural colors and bold matte lips that ain't pink as heck or orange as heck like more that deep red color but also more opaque reds since i feel like it all steers orange or pink or purple and eh

opacity slider be appreciated too I used it all the time in ts3 to make things more subtle

Another thing I’d like, makeup and cas wise, is separate eyelashes like Kijiko’s eyelashes, that would work with all eyes, rather than having all eyes come with their specific eyelashes (that kinda look like eyeliner). In TS3 you could also adapt the length of your sim’s eyelashes, I liked that.

Also mascara.
I remember the first time I made a sim, I was like where is the mascara ? But with the eyelashes we have right now it would be hard to add mascara.

I agree! Even though I use CC I've always missed the eyelash option from the sims 3. It really gives your sim a whole other look.

Opacity slider would be a huge help, and not just for makeup. The leggings category could use one as well.

I have a ton of cc makeup, but I still feel like I don't have enough makeup! I can't imagine playing without cc!

I put makeup on almost everyone. Sometimes good cc makeup makes Sims look more natural than when they don't have any makeup on. I have one particular lipstick I couldn't live without, because it makes Sims look like they have naturally attractive lips but are not wearing lipstick. This is how it looks in CAS:

Here is what a random default Sim looks like, with what the game considers to be "without any makeup":

Here is the same Sim with two different shades of my favorite lipstick:

But 'we' don't. PC players do. Console have to deal with what is given in game.

I genuinely forgot how dire the lack of makeup is because of how long it's been since I gave up and just downloaded a ton of cc to remedy the lackluster selection. Poor console players.

I've been waiting for more makeup options for SO long! I really wish they had better choices. Can I please have more "out there" lip/eyeshadow colors that don't look so wonky? Also, we literally don't need so many shades of blue and green lipstick, it's way too redundant.

Plus more shades of blush that work better for POC so they don't just have ONE choice! And what about contour makeup? I think that would be cool to have.
