How to Add Makeup to a Photo with AI

Try Any Makeup Look Without Picking Up a Brush

Want to see how a bold lip would look before buying the shade? Curious about a smoky eye for an event? AI makeup lets you try any look on your actual photo in seconds. It follows the contours of your face, respects existing shadows and highlights, and produces results that look like actual makeup — not face paint.

Makeup Looks You Can Try

• Lips: red lipstick, nude lip, berry, mauve, matte, glossy, lip liner
• Eyes: smoky eye, cat eye liner, winged eyeliner, natural eyeshadow, dramatic lashes
• Face: natural foundation, contour and highlight, blush, bronzer, dewy skin
• Full looks: 'full glam for a wedding,' 'natural no-makeup makeup,' 'editorial high-fashion look'
• Specific styles: 'Korean glass skin,' '90s brown lip with thin brows,' 'festival glitter makeup'

How AI Makeup Application Works

The AI maps your facial features — eyes, lips, cheekbones, jawline — and applies makeup that follows those contours precisely. It adjusts opacity and color based on the lighting in your photo so the makeup blends naturally with your skin tone. A matte lipstick in shadow looks different than one in direct light, and the AI accounts for that.

Who Uses AI Makeup Tools

Beauty brands test how products look on different skin tones without a full photo shoot. Makeup artists share previews with clients before the appointment. Brides try wedding makeup ideas from home. Content creators plan looks for videos before sitting down to film. Anyone curious about a new style can see it on their own face in seconds.

Tips for the Best Makeup Results

Use a well-lit, front-facing portrait for the most accurate results. Be specific about what you want: 'matte red lipstick' is better than just 'lipstick.' If you want a complete look, describe the full picture: 'add a natural glam look with winged eyeliner, false lashes, contour, and a nude lip.' You can also do it step by step — add the eyes first, then the lips, then contouring.
