Beautiful lips SSE

Beautiful lips for all women with lips (sorry khajiits and Argonians)

"Pretty Lips" by Danariel

NOTE: This only affects the edges of the "lipstick" area, not the color or size of the lips themselves. I chose a larger mouth for the screenshot to better show off the texture. If you select Smaller Mouth in Character Creation, you will have a smaller mouth. This is the same lip effect as Xenius's Detailed Lips did, but required corrections on my own (preserving the wetness of the upper lip, placing the lipstick in the center of the lips instead of moving it to the right of the character, doesn't change the original shape - in Nords.)

When Xenius launched his mod Detailed Lips, I noticed the jagged edges on the lips. I tried his mod, but there are some issues I want to fix. I tried modifying his Nord file but still felt like some basic characters were missing from the original file.

I then extracted the original Nord Light Mask from .BSA and got to work. I increased the resolution, smoothed out jagged edges, and kept the basic shape the same. You still get the "lip liner" effect, which is darker around the outer edge of the lip, and the lip color retains the richness of the original, but the edges are smoother.

I can also keep the uptilt on the upper lip and make sure the tone map is positioned correctly on the lip.

Then, I decided to see how this tinted mask performed on lips and lipsticks of other ethnicities (sorry, Kajits and Argonians!). One thing I hate about Wood Elves is that their lipsticks don't seem to cover the entire lips. To my surprise, they look great! So this mod now works on Nords, Empire, Bretons, Redguards, Wood Elves, Dark Elves and High Elves. If you like one race but not others, feel free to delete the files for the unwanted races.

Install:

Extract your Skyrim installation folder to Steam/steamapps/common/skyrim.

Uninstall:

Delete the tintmask folder under Steam/steamapps/common/skyrim/Data/textures/character/character assets, or delete individual match files from that folder.

If you choose a smaller mouth in Character Creation, you'll have a smaller mouth. This does the same thing for lips that Xenius' Detailed Lips does, with my own fixes (retains the dip in the upper lip, centers the lipstick on the lips instead of off to the character's right, doesn't change the original shape - on Nords.)

I noticed the jagged edges on the lips when Xenius came out with his mod Detailed Lips. I tried his mod, but it had some issues that I wanted to address. I tried modifying his Nord file, but still felt there was some essential character missing from the original.

I then extracted the original Nord tint mask from the.BSA and went to work. I increased the resolution, smoothed out the jagged edges, and left the essential shape the same. You still get the “lip liner” effect, where it's darker around the outside edges of the lips, and the lip color retains the richness of the originals, but the edges are much smoother.

I was also able to retain the dip in the upper lip and made sure the placement of the tint maps was correct on the lips.

Then I decided to see how this tint mask looked on the other races with lips and lipstick (Sorry, Kajits and Argonians!) One thing I hated about the Wood Elves was their lipstick didn't seem to cover the entire lip. To my happy s …
