Download Equinoxe – wavy long hair. Download Lullaby – side braid long wavy hair. Download Gravitation – messy lob with bangs hair. Ottemis's Gibbed Femshep Hair, Hats and Textures Original Forum Post This is meant to get all the gibbed facial textures and hairstyles for femshep in one place, instead of scattered all over the web. Below are the ME1 sliders. When you input these, the position all the way to the left is '1'. So if the code is '2' you would start at left and move one position to the right.

Click the [...] button to the right of (Collection) next to Scalar Parameters to open up a 2nd window.
A list of useful values and what they mean:
HED_Blush_Scalar - Controls blush transparency. Zero will be nothing, one will be quite heavy. Anything higher and you're probably heading into clown territory, depending on what color your blush is (more on color selection later.)
HED_Addn_Spec_Lips_Scalar
HED_Addn_SPwr_Lips_Scalar - Together these two control lip shine. For example in the picture above I have the first set at '10' and the second set at '100'. Zero for both means no extra shine.
HED_Addn_Blowout_Scalar - How dark custom eyebrows are saturated with color. Default femshep won't be affected because her eyebrows are painted on her face, but this can be used on any character creator femshep. '0.5' will be very thin brows - '1.5' will be very dark.

HED_Lips_Tint_Scalar - Controls lip color transparency. Same as blush, zero is nothing - one is about normal and anything higher is subjective.
HED_EyeShadow_Tint_Scalar - eyeliner heaviness
HED_Brow_Tint_Scalar - eyeshadow heaviness
In ME3 both will be much lighter than in previous games, and the eyeliner is less defined. The ME3_legacy_makeupmask.tpf I have in my default femshep download will return it to its previous appearance. The texture overhaul also includes a modified version.
HED_SPwr_Scalar - How much light Shepard's face emits, for lack of a better descriptor. Higher values will make her glow more.

Texture Parameters

Diffuse: The visible flat texture most people think of when they are thinking about game textures
Spec: Controls how light reflects and interacts with an object
Mask: Looks black and white, determines where color is visible or transparent, like on eyelashes. Think of it like a stencil.
