The Sims 4's Base Game Now Includes M.A.C Cosmetics Makeup for Sims

— June 8, 2020 — Fashion
Some people are using their extended time at home as an opportunity to give their skin a break from makeup, which means that they've no need to purchase new products—and as such, cosmetic brands are engaging consumers in new ways, like M.A.C Cosmetics creating makeup for Sims. The newest base game patch for the Sims 4 now features an array of makeup styles created by M.A.C Cosmetics—in all, there are 12 new additions across categories like eyeshadow, lipstick and eyeliner.

As the Sims 4 gives players the ability to live out a variety of scenarios, which range from realistic to fantastical, there are just as many new makeup styles to match. While some of the new makeup in the Sims 4 shares styles that are toned down and neutral, others bold, vivid and unconventional.
