Eyeshadows/liners end up on the side of the head?

[TheAppleNinja]

Hello!

I have been trying to make some custom eyeshadows and liners, but everytime I edit the alpha the makeup appears in bodyshop on the side of the sim's face.
Does anybody know what might be causing this? (I have been using Paint.net, if that helps.)

Don't edit the alpha. The alpha is sort of like a layer mask - it controls where the texture will show up. Do your coloring on the texture file, which is the one above the alpha.

Thank you so much!
I had the exact same problem with the eyeliner!
Then I thought, "since it's going to be on the side of their head, I'll make some sort of face makeup" so I put a flower on it, then it actually ended up where it was supposed to!
Weird! :lol:
