YPS Crafting Recipes - Making Makeup in Skyrim

---

If you're like me a female dragonborn on the go,  you know how hard it is to stay lookin good in the land of Skyrim.

 

That is why when @emily1673 released Immersive hair growth and styling I was like...  ??

 

But when I got to the local makeup merchant and saw the prices, I was... ?

 

You see, my dragonborn is poor and looking good can be expensive in Skyrim. 

 

This mod provides crafting recipes for a few of the makeup items in YPS Immersive fashion (You will still need to buy some of the more exotic things). But it will allow you to look decent on a budget. 

 

To start making makeup you will need the book "Making Makeup in Skyrim"* which can be crafted at a tanning rack with 1 ink and 1 roll of paper. Once you have that in your inventory you will see recipes at your local cooking pot for making Lipstick, Eyeshadow, and Nail Polish. There are some sub components that need to be made first on a few of those (namely lipstick, and remover pads) but most items will be pretty straight forward and made from things you can find around Skyrim fairly easily. 

 

*It's not really a book it is really just a misc item. I didn't make it as a book and didn't notice I had done that till it was a condition on a bunch of constructible objects. Sure I "could" fix that, but why?

 

COMPATABILITY

 

This mod should work on both LE and SE with no conversion needed. 

 

 

REQUIREMENTS

 

Skyrim and Dawnguard - Coming up with recipes for colorful makeup took more than base generic Skyrim can handle.

YPS Immersive Hair Growth and Styling - duh! ?

Good idea, but too bad it requires CACO, vanilla has enough ingredients cluttering up your loot

The biggest hang ups are Beeswax, and cooking oil

 

I could make a version that uses ale instead of the distilled alcohol which would work, it would still be a readily available mat. But there aren't any good options for replacing beeswax and cooking oil, that are relatively common. 

 

Cooking oil exists and there is also dwarven oil, but without CACO cooking oil is pretty rare, and Dwarven oil is always pretty uncommon. 

 

and there is really no Wax in the vanilla game I can think of. I could use my own misc item wax but then I need to find materials for making that. (Which would be like animal fat) but that means troll fat which is again not a common item. 

 

The idea of the mod is to allow people who are running a game with a lot of scarcity to not have to sacrifice using makeup.

 

I am not against making a no CACO version I just can't think of immersive ingredients to use that fit the bill.

Couldn't a replacement for wax be honeycomb or beehive husk? I suppose that would require Hearthfire as a DLC though. Picked up lanterns or torches could also provide oil or fat. Goat horns too possibly?
