I've been wondering about some minor details re: makeup application.
1) What happens if you go to someone to have your skin color changed, after already applying makeup? One would HOPE it just changes the skin color beneath the makeup, and not ruin your hours of makeup application...but you know how things go with MA...
2) Since makeup masks can only be used once, why do they have a decay and varying PED value? It would make more sense to let masks be used several times, each time causing decay. That would allow people to apply makeup incrementally instead of all at once. For example, you've looted some lipstick and gloss, so you apply it, pay your upload fee to MA, and now you have lipstick. Later, you buy some eye shadow and eyeliner, and you apply that, you use your mask again, and add the new features, pay MA, and your avatar gets updated. It would be much better if makeup could be applied incrementally in this manner instead of all in one shot. Since it doesn't work that way, there's no point to a makeup mask having a variable PED value and condition.
3) Why can't we have one "Undo"? Every paint program in the world, and every Windows program that involves either text or multimedia manipulation/editing in the entire world allows at least one level of "Undo". At least 3 times last night, I had attempts to design my makeup get screwed up, either by lag, the zoom on my face moving out one notch for no reason (once when some idiot started tossing Vumpoor grenades near me) and causing face paint to apply in a place I didn't want, another time I tried to right-click and rotate my face but somehow the paintbrush activated instead, and I made a big blotch all over some carefully-applied makeup, and of course my own slip-ups...MA, PLEASE let us have an "Undo"!!! Without it, makeup application is tedious and extremely frustrating. After almost 3 hours of attempts being botched, I finally gave up and went hunting, as my wrist was so sore...
Hope someone at MA is lurking here...
