Male Makeup

Any advice on the best way to apply makeup on males? Ideally, I'd like to retain the male skin and apply makeup via L.I.E. rather than doing a female to male UV swap. I guess I could do it in Photoshop, but I was hoping there was another, easier way within Daz.

    you could do the male female UV swap on any LIE texture maps and use map transfer I guess

    If it is any help, the product Altern8 Lee comes with quite a few make up options for G8 males (plus lots more).

    Thank you for suggesting my product! :)

    And yeah, Altern8 Lee 8 has eye makeup, lip makeup, nail colors, and eyeliner options for Genesis 8 Male.

    Please excuse the typo at the bottom of the promo, I looked over it several times before submitting it, but I don't know how I missed that! lol 

    The makeup uses the Diffuse Overlay channels though, and doesn't use L.I.E. - Diffuse Overlay lets you apply the makeup with any Genesis 8 Male skin and it usually loads faster than L.I.E. makeup. Since it's Diffuse Overlay it and will just show up with the Iray Preview DrawStyle, and it also shows up on rendering, of course.

    Also all of Darwin's characters have lots of makeup options that are LIE generally. 

    I have 2 boys in my shop as well. My G3 has LIE makeup as I recall, and my G8 has diffuse overlay makeup.
