simple cosmetic request - matt lipstick pls!

I'd love to have matt lipstick option in the game, since the one we have looks like we put a ton of lipgloss on and it bothers me to no end

Also does anyone know how the light works with the current lispstick? Cause the way it works now in certain areas - espacially indoors in houses - is just plain awful:

Character creator: it looks like my lips are reflecting the blue light???

Funnily enough in the workshop it does look 'normal'

You would think it only looks awful inside of houses but here I am standing in Limsa

Strangely In Ul'dah and Gridania it looked normal - Does the weather changes the looks of the lipstick??

Can't even bond with normal looking lips ;_;

I know it's nothing like OMG WE NEED THIS ASAP as there are far more concerning things that need to be changed but I wonder if this small QoL improvement would cost much of the devs time

Actually: give us matt lipstick AND change how the light works with the current

Thank you for reading :>

Matt is a name, not a sheen.

Since I'm not a native speaker I checked the dictionary before writing and sure enough it said matt - along with other adjectives
edit: Matte seems to be american english while matt is british english so there we have it, we are both right ^^

I would love a gloss slider! I personally don't care for the wet look either, so I almost always go with no lip color at all. It seems to affect the races differently as well. Highlander and Elezen seem to have the super-gloss option selected, miqo'te - not quite as much.

Gotta love comments that add absolutely nothing to the topic at hand, but instead choose to be petty and point out a grammar issue.

I wouldn't call it petty, but educational.
But even that person learned something out of it. So education all around! \o/

Now that you point that out I remembered choosing lipstick for my au'ra and I could barely see a difference between different colours let alone between 'dark and light'
It seems like even the lip colour is a race thing..geez
We definitely need sliders! (for everything)

Yeah it's a race thing and also changes based on your face choice. Elezen are a good example. One face only gives you the matte option. Another only allows dark tones. And I also recall a Miqo'te face which only lets you have really light/nude tones. It would be great to have all kinds of colours available for every face. On the other hand, having it as it is makes the face options more different from each other. There's two sides to it.

Absolutely! I'd also love color options that weren't all so brown looking, getting a true red lipstick color is impossible, there's deep/bright red for the eye makeup but none for lips. I don't know why some faces come with lipstick already slapped on there.. so weird.

One of the male miqo'te faces has some kind of eyeliner option in face features...why girls got only scars...why...oh and they have better tatoos too!:(:(:(
Btw I agree with all the above XD

As a lalafell, I only wish my lipstick was VISIBLE at least. It's almost impossible to see I have lipstick on if the person does not zoom in all the way to my cute little popoto face.

Edit: Looking at my forum avatar, my mouth as a whole is hardly visible. I look like a helmet-wearing, non-peeled popoto with two yellow holes carved in the place of eyes.

A matte option would be nice. I generally use lip colour and other make up on my characters to give their faces an illusion of features that I want (and a slight differentiation of lip and skin colour). Without the gloss it works out, but with it, it becomes too much.

Adding another option is most likely not going to happen. Character data and all that stuff.

Anyway, I thought many times about how annoying this was, so yes, at the very least it would be a good idea if it could be improved (fixed?) so that it looks more consistent.

Matt Lipstick?

Big butt for hyureans females midlanders masterace it's more important.

How about making the lip color more vibrant, my cat wants a brighter pink, one of my alt-cats wants an actual red, not a brick red, not a shade of maroon, but a real, vibrant red. No problem here with the gloss, though I can see why a slider that goes from matte to gloss would be nice.

Also, major upvotes for fixing how the lighting interacts with lip-color, and fixing how the lip color interacts with the underlying skintones and base color of the lips when applied 'light', and finally can we please increase the color saturation when you apply the lip color 'dark'? Or perhaps they mean for the shade to be darker, in which case let's add a third option to dark and light, called rich, and crank up the color saturation

I liked ARR beta lipstick better. It was appeared on your character the same way the current "face paint" does. But people complained that the lip borders were too messy and they changed it :/ oh well
