And I dont mean the band...although they are pretty great, too. What I am referring to is the dark skintones that seem to get left on the wayside when it comes to finding suitable makeup. I dont know about most of you, but when I try to find some lipstick or eyeshadow for one of my lovely dark Sims, It takes me ages to find something that doesnt look fluorescent on their skin. At the nudging of the adorable Dark Delight, I decided to try and remedy this little problem. I am about to release part 1 of three sets of makeup especially for Dark skinned ladies. Part 1 has blush, eyeshadow and lipstick with a more natural appearance, with a few bonus colors of lipsticks in some rich hues, part 2 will have dramatic, jewel toned eyeshadow and glossy lips along with a small set of my own "dark" eyes meant to look more at home when paired with Dark skin. ( the eye white is less bright so it doesnt seem like its glowing ) And part three will be more lips and eyeshadow, this time in some feminine shades. I hope you will all add these to your collection and give your dark skinned Sims some special attention. Here is a preview of some of those makeup items from set 1 and 2....



The eyeshadow and blush are from set 1, and the eyes and lips are from set 2. I hope you will all find them as useful as I already have. Thanks again, Dark Delight!

Hi, I just finished with reading your "The Darkness" blog and I agree totally with the both of you on that subject(s). Although, I have come across on mts2 some artist who have make lip color for darker skin stones but other than that...that's it! I appreciate your acknowledgement of that fact there is not a full range of make-up for the richer skin tones and not only beautiful lights play this game but beautiful ranges of the darkness play also. I have hated the fact of having to leave my darker skin tones with out make-up but the sample of lip-gloss that you present will look flawlessly beautiful on deep dark chocolate skin tones. Thank you and I can't wait to download them to try them out.

That's true. So true. That's also the problem in the real world, and thank you! But I usually use the Maxis grays and greens for eyeshadow, because they flatter the eyes.

Hi Xandher, I can't wait to try them out. I am glad you have made these, as most of the sims I make have darker skintones. This looks like it's going to be really great!
