The suggestion is to allow another layer in the head, the layer that the majority uses as skin was originally the tattoo layer, overriding the starter skin layer that new users get, and it evolved into skin one..
A makeup layer can be used for so many things, like to draw those black lines for a football player avatar, without the need to get another skin with that, allow the possibility of makeup creators without the need of making the whole skin and the makeup in different skin tones, get those bags under your eyes for a sleepy avatar, get pimples, freckles, Indian painting, and others that i cant imagine and you cant imagine because creators are so surprising.
that layer could fit fine right under the menu where undershirt and underpants are, there is a lot of space there for other layers.
take off > clothing > more > makeup
many residents and creators will welcome so much this option.
i know, you have the makeup option when you edit your avatar, but it becomes useless once you put a skin layer originally meant to be the tattoo layer and you cant take it off. move the makeup options down there where the clothing options are, and it will become useful again because it will be over the "tattoo" layer, and you will have the option to edit it over your new skin.
what about the creators that already sell those skins with makeup? they do an excellent job taking care of the details because they upload some textures edited in Photoshop or any excellent graphic creation program and add the details they choose, the same analogy can be used of clothing creators and clothes you can do yourself with the edit appearance option. those creators can sell those skins and makeup layers also. makeup layers could be no modify too. same for anything you buy.
please add another head layer.
