    Feels like modders make better makeup….

      Yeah but console players can’t have cc

        Reply to Kerri

        I think that Cyn meant that cc creators make better makeup and that the sims team should look at what is popular in the cc community so that those who can’t/won’t play with mods can get more usable makeup in the base game.

      Yes custom content make nice makeup but consoles don’t have that privilege in some people just like to play on games consoles.

      Some do and some don’t. Some only make ones that work with fair skin tones but it looks horrible on darker skin tones. And among those same cc creators some get mad when it’s pointed out instead of just taking some more time to test and adjust their makeup cc for a wider range of sims to use. It’s especially frustrating with blushes and sometimes eyeshadows.

  5. Kirsty

    I love them and it’s nice to have more base game options as a lot of the make up in expansion packs aren’t that useable

  6. Isla

    Expected more from MAC. There are so many options that are needed for eyeshadow, lip color, blush, etc. and they have us more ridiculousness. 🙁

      To be fair, it’s a free collab. Don’t know if they’ll do anything sims inspired. While I doubt I’ll be using some of the more colorful additions there are some nice neutral tones included. I’m not that into makeup beyond “a little here, a little there” on occasion so maybe that’s also why I’m rather indifferent. It’s a nice addition especially for any player who can’t use cc or doesn’t like using cc.

    I’m not really a fan of the new eyeshadows. They don’t suit sims darker then pale white.

    The lipsticks and blush are really cool.

  8. Natia

    I am pleased 🙂

  9. Dee

    I wish the eyeshadows had more gradient colors instead of full on bold color. But overall it is nice to have more variety of make up for your Sims.

  10. Haley

    WTF is that sperm eyeliner? And why would they release this makeup by a non-cruelty free makeup brand at the same time as an ECO LIVING expansion? SMH.

  11. Ariana

    Okay so… I’m happy we are getting some more base makeup, and I think it looks nice. It’s just, okay I don’t know a lot about makeup companies, but last I heard M.A.C. does animal testing. It feels a little wrong to include this M.A.C. collab with the patch before the Eco Living expansion. Just needed to put that into the world.

  12. Mey

    My game just updated and I have no M.A.C. makeup. Is it not available for legacy edition??

  13. sims

    ahhshshs they are so bad

  14. Buffalo Bill

    Looking forward to seeing all the townies in my game looking like absolute idiots wearing this makeup with bunny slippers and a swimsuit.

  15. Carmen

    How do I remove the M.A.C. logo from the interface?
    I don’t need to see a brand publicity every time I change a sim.

    WHY WOULD YOU PROMOTE A MAKEUP BRANT THAT TESTS ON ANIMALS!!!!
    I thought the sims team were better than this, it’s vile that you did this. You could have collaborated with a brand that doesn’t promote the abuse of animals by testing it’s products on animals. shame on you all!

      Does this mean that every time i buy a new pack…M.A.C makeup will he funded?

    Really disappointing for me, i love the sims but i cant believe they would collab with a company that associates with animal testing.

  18. Brian Critchley

    these look AWEFUL,

    I know this post is old but a lot of people were claiming Mac tests on animals. They do not. Mac sells its products in China, which is a country where the government requires products to go through animal testing to be sold there. Mac does not conduct any of the testing, nor do they fund it or support it. Mac actually funds alternative testing methods which are designed to replace animal testing entirely in regions where it is required. They actively work towards abolishing this process and any purchases you make would actually help to end it. Since they do sell in China, they are not considered by all to be cruelty-free, but their company does operate as a cruelty-free brand outside of the testing done by the Chinese government.

    Also, these are just hideous. Had to say it. Mac definitely could’ve done better but who knows how much visual input they actually had. Obviously since it was free it didnt matter much
