I don’t know if this is already known, but I found this workaround that might be useful.
First create a Sim in CAS and save all your custom swatches, then save the Sim to the library.
Now, when you’re creating a new Sim in CAS in any save game, you can temporarily add the saved “swatch template Sim” from the library and the custom swatches will be available to the entire household. Once you are done adding the desired makeup you can delete the swatch Sim.
The workaround takes a bit more effort if you want to use it with a played Sim. First bring up the cheat box and type testingcheats true and then cas.fulleditmode. Shift+click your Sim and go to “Modify in CAS,” then add the swatch Sim from the library and put the makeup on the played household. Remember to delete the extra Sim before going back to live mode.
One slight annoyance I found is that if you save a Sim to the library with any alterations to the sliders, it automatically creates a “phantom swatch” attached to that Sim, even if you haven’t actually clicked the “+” to save it. Then it will always appear (as a saved swatch) whenever you add that Sim to a household.
