Which folder are face textures located in?

Which folder are Skyrim's face textures located in?

And is there a file that contains all of the settings for my characters face, like eyebrows, hair, etc..?

Player character faces are generated in game and are stored in game memory. Unless you use a mod like RaceMenu and save the preset, your character's appearance is only within the save file. You can use the SavePCFace console command to obtain a NPC file that has your characters appearance data listed. However, if you use a mod like RaceMenu, that file will be inaccurate.

 

As far as location of the stock files:

Data > Meshes > Actors > Character > Character Assets

Data > Textures > Actors > Character > Character Assets

 

Also look in the other sub folders of Character as some files may be in other sub folders. It is also entirely possible that you have no files in that physical location in which case the files affecting your character are within a BSA (whether it be stock or mod).

I do use racemenu and recently sculpted the face of a certain celebrity.

 

I used the free image editing program GIMP to cut out her tattoos from actual photographs paste them (as layers) onto the female character skins (converted from .dds into .xcf file) in the usual default Skyrim texture folder, and then I exported it back into a .dds file.

 

I also used the "racemenu" mod to sculpt her face (.nif file) until I finally got it just the way I wanted.

 

Took me 2 1/2 days to perfect it.

 

Right now I am trying to figure out how to upload a custom body texture and racemenu face mesh to the nexusmods servers and call it a mod.

I would rather say it's

textures\actors\character\female and

textures\actors\character\male

Textures only sure... but meshes are also part of it and knowing where to look ahead of time can save asking another question down the road.
