Running/Heavy Mascara for G2F?

I'm doing a lot of vampire-themed art at the moment. Some of it is fandom-related and I hit upon the idea of trying to render some G2F fan-art of Jeanette Voerman, from the classic game, 'Vampire: The Masquarade - Bloodlines' (which some of you might also have fond RPG memories of).

The only piece I can't find among my assets seems to be the heavy/running mascara so strongly identified with her look:

I could have sworn there were some G2F or Genesis characters (not V4) with heavy mascara make-up options, but now I actually need it, can't seem to find them! Anyone had better luck?

I do remember this:

Which is on sale, today, but it looks as if it would be impossible to place on G2F without the wet tears (which wouldn't be very in-character for how Jeanette is typically portrayed).

    I'll have to double check, but I might have the actual-tears product. If I do I'll play around with it when I get home and see if there is a way to get the mascara without the tears by messing around with the opacity properties in the surfaces tab. I vaguely remember trying a very similar thing in the past.

    Appreciated! I'm doubting it, though, because it seems the mascara is a material setting for the physical tears prop, itself, but I could be wrong.

    On the other hand, I recall Zev's/Draagon's Skin Builder product has different eye shadow options. Looking through it earlier, there aren't any 'streaky' versions, but there is one which makes it look like a heavy amount. I could perhaps use that for a compromise.

    Shae for Teen Josie 6 has heavy mascara like that

    Oh, that's excellent!

    Can the skin work on the G2F base figure or does it require the Teen Josie 6 UV map to look right?

    I thought it looked fine on other figures. It's one of my favorite G2F textures

    Hi Xeno, sorry I didn't get back to you last night. Apparently I don't have the tears product. I'm desperately trying to remember what I was working with when I tried to get running mascara. I very well might have just edited a texture in photoshop.

    Sorry!

    That's OK - got there in the end!

    In case anyone else was interested in trying to achieve this look, it seems it was on a product I had, after all.

    If you look in the 'creepy' section of the cosmetics, there's a highly relevant piece of make-up with the right 'running in small streaks' mascara set and the only problem is that it auto-places some compatible stuff on the lips and cheeks.

    However, you can replace it with one of the other options for lipstick (or the one with none, at all). It will, however, leave you with some blusher on the cheeks which looks like it has had tears streaking through it. This, though, is relatively inconspicuous and, while the fandom character of Jeanette doesn't sport that, I think I could get away with using it for her.
