How it works
Upload your photo
Drop your portrait into EditThisPic. Best results come from well-lit front-facing photos with clear visibility of facial features. Natural lighting works best for realistic makeup application. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.
Describe the makeup you want
Type exactly what makeup look you want: 'add subtle everyday makeup with nude lip and natural brows' or 'add glamorous evening makeup with bold red lips and dramatic smoky eyes.' Include specific products, colors, and intensity levels. The AI understands makeup terminology and applies it to match your facial features.
Copy one of these to get started:
add subtle natural makeup with soft pink lips, light mascara, gentle blush, and defined but natural brows
add polished professional makeup with matte foundation, neutral lip color, subtle contouring, and groomed brows
add glamorous evening makeup with bold red lips, dramatic smoky eyes with black liner, highlighted cheekbones, and full lashes
add elegant bridal makeup with soft rose lips, romantic pink blush, subtle shimmer on eyes, and flawless glowing skin
3 more prompts
add bold editorial makeup with graphic black eyeliner, bright coral lips, defined cheekbones, and artistic color placement
add a fresh 'no-makeup' makeup look with tinted moisturizer glow, cream blush, clear lip gloss, and feathered brows
add 1950s vintage makeup with classic red lips, winged black eyeliner, arched brows, and soft pink cheeks
Generate and review
Check that the makeup follows your facial contours naturally. Look for proper blending at edges, realistic color saturation, and appropriate shine levels on lips and highlights. Verify the look is symmetrical.
Refine with markers if needed
If specific areas need adjustment, tap markers on lips, eyes, or cheeks and describe the correction. Great for intensifying one feature or toning down another.

If something looks off
Makeup looks too heavy or cakey
Why: The AI applied too much intensity or coverage, making the makeup look unnatural.
apply more subtle and natural makeup with lighter coverage and soft blending
💡 Add 'subtle,' 'light,' or 'sheer' to your prompt for more natural-looking results
Colors don't match skin tone
Why: The AI chose colors that clash with your skin's undertone (warm vs cool).
adjust makeup colors to complement [warm/cool/neutral] skin undertones
💡 Mention your undertone or use universally flattering shades like 'rose' or 'berry'
Makeup is asymmetrical
Why: The AI applied features slightly differently on each side of the face.
balance the makeup symmetrically on both sides of the face
💡 Front-facing, evenly-lit photos produce the most symmetrical results
AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed
Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.
Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt
💡 Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.
Lips or eyes don't blend naturally into skin
Why: Hard edges where makeup meets skin create an unnatural, pasted-on appearance.
blend the [lip/eye] makeup edges naturally into the surrounding skin
💡 Include 'blended' and 'soft edges' in your original prompt for seamless results
Quick answers
Do I need to mark areas before adding makeup?
No! Just describe the makeup look you want: 'add natural makeup with pink lips and subtle eyes.' The AI automatically finds facial features and applies makeup appropriately. Only use markers to adjust specific features after the first result.
Can I try specific makeup products or brands?
You can describe the style and finish of products: 'matte red lip like MAC Ruby Woo' or 'dewy foundation with natural glow.' The AI understands makeup terminology and recreates the described finish, though it generates its own interpretation rather than exact brand colors.
Will the makeup look realistic in photos?
Yes, when you include detail in your prompt. Describe finish (matte, satin, glossy), intensity (subtle, natural, bold), and specific colors. The AI applies makeup that follows your facial contours with realistic blending and appropriate shine.
Can I add makeup to a photo that already has some makeup?
Yes. Describe what you want to change or add: 'intensify the eye makeup' or 'add bold red lips to the existing look.' The AI can build on existing makeup or transform the entire look.
Does this work on all skin tones?
Yes. The AI adapts makeup colors to complement any skin tone. For best results, mention that you want colors that complement your natural coloring, or specify exact shades you want to try.
