I really like the newer skintones to give a broader range for my sims. Can actually find the mid-tones I want. <3 Hoping in the future you'll also add some 'cooler' skintones for more much more fair skinned sims. Though, I still have the problem as I still do with darker skinned tones sims is having flattering make-up.https://i.imgur.com/dcSNr9P.pngThe majority of makeup we have always seem to be way too subtle, too bright or just not a practical color. :# Even with some of the lighter Sims that can wear it a bit better I only ever stick with a few select ones or just none at all because I never can find the one that I want. The last makeup we got was in the Get to Work EP I believe? Since most of it was for aliens, which complimented the skintones a lot better. I find myself definitely yearning for some different variety of make up from lipstick, blush to eyeshadow, especially ones that work for darker skintones only way for me to have them is using CC of course. I'd really like to see some matte ones and decent darker shade of lipsticks as well as lighter ones.https://i.imgur.com/4TaV7uL.pngLipsticks like these to also compliment lighter skintones as well as warmer tones along with eye shadows.Just hope to see more makeup variety even if it's in future packs. I know not every makeup will compliment every skintone, but I would like to see some more ranges of them. The game has been growing a lot in diversity and I love it.@SimGuruDrake @SimGuruNinja @SimGuruGraham Definitely appreciate the hard work you guys put in, so I hope to see some more makeup and more complimenting more skintones in the future.

That's pretty much the reason as to why I tend to stick with the mid-tones as well. I just never really did like how the darker tones looked on the sims I created. I'm rather pale IRL and can burn just by looking at the sun, so I like to give sims the tan I can never have...lol

The lack of make-up for darkes skin tones - what bothers me the most are the lipstick shades - is the reason I started adding CC to my game. With the frequent updates TS4 gets I try to avoid it because I find troubleshooting for outdated CC that messes up the game so annoying. Anway, couldn't agree more, make-up is such a lacking category in this game that I otherwise love for CAS.

I find the Sims 4 to actually have a lot to offer in vanilla game in terms of clothing and hairstyles being up to date and in variety compared to previous iterations and growing in diversity. Though makeup always seem to be lacking a lot since Sims 2, even then I only could wear like two shades of lipstick in that one or none at all, ripperoni. Yeah, the majority of CC I usually have is make-up, since it takes up so little in space and I can have a lot of it. Matte lipsticks and some nice glossy ones have been a saving grace for my darker skinned sims.

I would also agree that CAS otherwise is pretty awesome. I have under 10 pieces of CC items in clothing and all of those are edits of items already in game. I love the style. And they really worked on improving hair textures and offering more variety and the results are great. But no new make-up in ages. It's really odd.We need at least 4 more shades for darker skin tones (color variants: red, pink, brown/orange and purple hues) for the shiny and matt lipstick and gloss.We need 2-3 more eyeliners, which should come in dark brown and black.More blush would be great and why not get with the times and add some options for contouring. I would be sooo happy.

I would love to have more makeup in the game and we definitely need more makeup that looks good on the darker skin tones, especially the lipsticks! I also really want highlighting masks and contouring masks that can go on top of the makeup. Layering makeup and masks would be fab! Maybe they could do a collab with some beauty bloggers... or with Rihanna and Fenty Beauty!

Love the skintones, but more makeup for them would be great

Same. Most of any darker sims I would make just wouldn't wear any makeup opposed to eyeliner and a dark brown eyeshadow for the most part. Just a natural look, but I still wanted at least some makeup for them. The matte CC i have works very well with them.

The lip gloss on the lighter sim is suppose to be a red shade but looks more pink than anything.

Yeah just like IRL not all make up works for all skin tones. Even when I DL CC make up from a dark sim, it don't look good in my game. Then my sim making skills are mediocre at best.

Yeah, my skin tone isn't super dark, but I find myself never wanting to wear a bright color lipstick because it stands out so badly. Red is such a big no, no unless it's a darker shade. :#

Only some of the darker shade reds for EA makeup look decent on my sims of color. Usually they only have it on in formal or party attire.

Yes, more makeup choices are much needed! And I really desperately need some eyeliners that don't look like they were applied by a Sim child. The choices all have super thick lines and half of them are smudgy or uneven. We could really use some subtlety and finer designs. I honestly hardly ever use the eyeliners when I'm playing a vanilla sims game with no cc, because they make all of the sims look like goths or performers or 80s throwbacks, haha. :p
