My sister has a problem with most classic skins, and to be honest, so do I

CW: You MAY discover female nudity here if you take a very close look

Juno, us guys have a very similar problem: It's very hard to find good male skins with no baked-on stubble. But some of us don't want a stubble, and others don't have dark hair matching the dark stubble on most skins.

Pet peeve: Classic female skins with baked-on make-up

If you go around freebie sims that are old enough to still have classic skins, and you're looking for female skins, you'll stumble upon a phenomenon: Almost all of them have firmly baked-on make-up that can't be removed.

Okay, I somehow get it. It's easy for newbies to make a "sexy" avatar without having to hunt down make-up tattoos which are hard to find anyway. It's more convenient anyway for those who always want to wear make-up. And the classic system avatar has only got four tattoo layers, one of which is almost always occupied by a hairbase tattoo, and the skin makers probably wanted to save the other three for actual tattoos.

But it's utterly inconvenient for those who don't want to wear make-up all the time, the same make-up even. If it's hard to find a skin without make-up, it's next to impossible to find a good one without make-up. And as everyone baked their make-up onto their skins back then, hardly anyone made separate make-up.

I had that problem in my early days: I wanted a good skin without make-up which at the same time didn't look like I had silicone boobs or a tanning bed to sleep on at night. It was eventually solved by Jupiter: He built skins without make-up. Lots of them.

I've also found make-up tattoos, both complete make-ups and separate elements such as lipsticks or eyeshades. Also, I don't have to worry about how many layers it takes up: Bakes-on-Mesh offers me theoretically more tattoo layers than the system body has layers altogether. But they would be impossible to use with a skin that already has make-up on it.

@Roland Häder More like a virtual world problem.

By the way, I've found out that it wasn't before 2010 and the Viewer 2.0 that Second Life introduced the four tattoo layers. Of course, OpenSim didn't have it any earlier.

Until then, the only way to wear make-up was to have it baked onto the skin because the skin was the only layer that covered the face.

Many classic skins in OpenSim are actually that old, and hardly any classic skins are newer than Eloh Eliot's free-and-open-source Starllight skins from 2009 which I've "remixed" two years ago. From the top of my head, as far as pre-Starlight Remix skins with no make-up go, I only know those skins available from Deva Moda that also offers make-up tattoos plus at least some of the skins in the Ruth2 v4 boxes.
