Well i have always used makeup on my breton vampires but have never gotton the actual bug before because i thought it only happened to nord female vampires so this was new to me as well as the make up thing.
I started as a VL the first playthrough, but that didn't take long.... i hate it when my char (female) looks like a beggar, so i started all over again and jioned the Dawnguard.
I did the VL the seconds time and then i know about the bug so i went to the hairdresser in Riften and fixed her up before i turned.
The thing is, you allready get makeup (which i don't llike) from being a vamp => red lipstick and eyeliner.... i even changed my eyebrows because you get those too.
I still had some dirt on her.... it seems you got to lose your cheek/forehead color as well.
I'm staying wolf.
