Hi! I'm trying to make a matte lipstick, but it looks very shiny inside of S4S. Here are some screenshots.  Here's the lipstick in Photoshop.  Here is it in S4S. |

Hi spacella! The shine you see is the texture from the S4S model showing through the lipstick. It looks like the alpha channel on your lipstick is set up to be translucent, nearly transparent. You can try the lipstick out in game and see if it looks more how you imagined. If you put the lipstick on a Sim with shiny-lipped skin (could not think of a better way to phrase that) the lipstick will look shiny. If you put the lipstick on a Sim with matte lips, the lipstick will be matte. If you want a stronger matte look, you'll need to follow a few extra steps. 1. Change the lip part of the alpha channel from gray to white so that no skin texture shows through.  2. Instead of using a flat color, paint the lips on your texture file so that they have highlights and shading, since you'll no longer get that from the underlying skin texture.  The alpha and lips were extracted from Angissi's La Girl Matte Lipstick to use as examples. In general, it can help to look at the work of an experienced CC creator to figure out how they got their desired effects.  |
