Virtual Makeup for Poser
The design philosohpy of this makeup tutorial is to add to whatever texture you are currently using: this is just an enhancement. I did not want to create a large number of image files when poser can be used to add color already. Of course, in the case of Eyeshadow and blush, a texture map will be needed. (Please see Alan Lee's Maybe Lee Kit for a layer map to use on top of your favorite textures.)
While Daz3d's Victoria and Curious Labs' Default P4 woman (a.k.a. Posette) are referenced here, this works for other models as well. (Yes, if you want to put nail polish on the P4 Dork, you certainly can!)
The best place to get colors for Makeup is at:

Now let's get started:
Foundation - To modify the color tone for Vicky.
Eyebrow Color - To set the hair color for Vicky's eyebrows
Lip Color - To set Vicky's lipstick color using just Poser Color
Nail Polish - To set Vicky's fingernail color
Contact Lens - To change Vicky's eyecolor
Note on Cameras and Lights:
There are many tutorials for setting up Lights and Cameras for Poser which will add to the finish product. Try changing the lights from the default and setting the camera to about 100mm for closeups and 90mm for medium shots, it definitely helps alot.
