The MaterialPresetResource and VisualResource IDs can be found in a variety of places. Some of them are here on the wiki: Hair Meshes, Head Models, NPC Head Models, and others are external: Eye Makeup Reference.
Face tattoo: (note: there seems to be an issue where presets will only use the first 16 face tattoos, and no fix is known at this time)
 | This page is a modding page, and follows its own rules and standards separate from the rest of the wiki. |
Use the Find function to find your preferred preset by following this format: RACE_GENDER_SUBRACE_Player
Example: Elves_Female_High_Player

Finally, with some clever searching you can usually find what you need using the Multitool and searching the game files.
