I had an idea of this for a while now but has no actual skills to implement it so I want to share this in case someone interested in working on it.

I think it can be as simple as a new type of drug or item that temporarily increase beauty stat of a pawn, but I think cosmetics had a potential to be turned into a new kind of industry and decadence for our colonists.

Pros of this mod

- It can be used to help in trading, negotiating and recruiting prisoner ( I don't know if beauty stat affect this in vanilla but it does make sense to me )
- It should help to make your colonist get along with each other by providing a boost in opinion with a pawn who use makeup.
- It can help lovers to form and keep them together through some of their arguments.
New industries to profit from.

Some possible idea and suggestion

- For easy using it would be really neat to have a 'makeup table' furniture that works as a way for a pawn to automatically applied makeup each day. each time pawn uses the table it will consume cosmetics item that needs refuel at the table from time to time. Maybe it can be assigned an owner to each table and have a set time where pawn will go to put on make up each day like how sermon work in the 'Cults' mod
- It would be fun to have noble demanding their own makeup table on top of other things they demand
- This could be made more complicated by having different types/grades of cosmetics that can be used, with low quality cosmetics might get a mood debuff or a rash, like how pawn can get food poisoning from food.
- Maybe a new trait that interacts with this mod like 'cosmoholic' who will get a new need in their tab much like how chemical interest works, on the other hand, ascetic pawn might refuse to put on makeup at all.
- We could have an automatic chair that put on makeup for your colonist as a high tech option which will reduce time to put on makeup significantly.

Dunno if this is what you want but the "Jewelry" mod on the workshop does almost this exact thing but with wearable jewelry.
