Since the Sims game was released back in 2000, players have had the opportunity to build extravagant mansions and even create entire neighborhoods. One of the biggest complaints was that you couldn’t customize your Sims, so you’d end up with them having the same hair color as you. Now, the company is partnering with The Sims 4 to bring customizable makeup looks to your virtual world. Whether you’re looking for a new eyeshadow palette or an entirely new style for your Sim, this is the perfect chance to try out a new look.

Problems with MAC Cosmetics’ eyeshadow palette
After the release of the new eyeshadow palette for The Sims 4 on Jan. 4, makeup lovers were not impressed with the new palette, which was rebranded from an old MAC product. Not only was the palette a little too basic for the game, but it also contained no Sims-inspired shades. Fans of the game complained that MAC re-packaged old products. Thankfully, MAC Cosmetics has responded to the complaints and now has a new palette available for Sims 4 players.
The eyeshadow palette for The Sims 4 is not the first time that MAC has collaborated with EA. Last year, MAC Cosmetics and The Sims released a base-game update that included MAC makeup. Simmers were surprised that the makeup looked so similar to real-life products and compared the eyeshadows to sperm! However, MAC Cosmetics did make a great effort to ensure that the palette looked realistic.
Another major flaw in MAC’s new eyeshadow palette for The Sims 4 is that the product doesn’t have any connection to the Sims. For example, the palette doesn’t contain any shade of green or blue that would suit a sim’s skin tone. Additionally, MAC didn’t bother to hide the fact that it was a re-packaged MAC palette. Some of the shades have glitter, but that’s all it does. The palette is also completely lacking in Sims branding.
Lack of creativity
It seems that MAC Cosmetics and EA have failed to find the right combination. Both companies have a history of collaborations, and in the base game of The Sims 4, the two companies have collaborated before. When they added MAC makeup to the base game, Simmers quickly began comparing their eyebrows to sperm. Luckily, Mac managed to improve the game by adding more ways to escape.
Repackaging of old products
After releasing their makeup inspired by the popular game, MAC Cosmetics has now released a new line of products in the Sims 4. The colors of the eyeshadow palette are surprisingly muted compared to the vivid game’s colors. Fans have been complaining about the lack of color variety and the fact that MAC is repackaging old products. The company is also making it clear that they will only sell the product online to US customers, however.
The Sims eyeshadow palette released on Monday sparked complaints among fans, who complained that the new product is too muted and does not reflect the game’s vibrant aesthetic. The company replied to the criticisms by saying that the palettes match the virtual MAC cosmetics shades available in the Sims 4 game. However, beauty fans were quick to point out that the palettes are really old MAC products packaged in new packaging.
The palette also misses the mark when it comes to the brand. Many Sims fans have expressed their disappointment at the lack of color variety and presume that it is a copy of a previous MAC palette. While the palette looks nice, it has a lot of flaws and is largely unusable for makeup application. However, there are still a few notable improvements that MAC Cosmetics could make in their product lineup.
