Everyday natural look	`apply natural makeup - foundation, blush, nude lip`	40s
Full glam look	`add glamorous evening makeup with smoky eyes and red lips`	50s

How it works

Upload your photo

Upload a clear, front-facing portrait. Good lighting on the face and visible facial features give the AI the best foundation for makeup editing. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Simple makeup (lipstick only): 30-35 seconds. Full glam look (multiple products): 40-55 seconds and may need refinements.
Describe the makeup look

Type what you want: 'apply natural everyday makeup with nude lipstick and light mascara' or 'add glamorous evening makeup with smoky eyeshadow, red lipstick, and contoured cheeks.' Be specific about colors, styles, and products. No marking needed—the AI knows where eyes, lips, and cheeks are.

Tip: Name specific products or looks: 'berry lip', 'cat eye liner', 'dewy foundation' for precise results that match real makeup styles.

Copy one of these to get started:

Natural everyday makeup apply natural everyday makeup - light foundation, subtle blush, nude pink lipstick, and light mascara
Try This →

Glamorous evening look add glamorous evening makeup with smoky black eyeshadow, winged eyeliner, bold red lipstick, and contoured cheekbones
Try This →

Professional office-ready look apply professional office makeup - matte foundation, neutral eyeshadow, thin eyeliner, and a mauve lip color
Try This →

Bold lip only apply a bold deep berry lipstick with a slight gloss finish, nothing else on the face
Try This →

3 more prompts

Bridal makeup look apply bridal makeup - soft glowing foundation, rose gold eyeshadow, defined lashes, pink blush, and a soft pink lip
Try This →

Dewy no-makeup makeup apply a 'no-makeup' makeup look - dewy skin, tinted brows, barely-there lip tint, and subtle highlight on cheekbones
Try This →

Festival/creative look apply colorful festival makeup - bright turquoise eyeshadow, glitter accents on cheekbones, and coral lips
Try This →
Review the makeup

Check that makeup looks natural and well-blended. Zoom in on each area—eyes, lips, cheeks—to verify even application. Ensure the makeup style matches the lighting and overall mood of the photo.
Refine with markers if needed

If one feature like eyeliner or lip color needs adjustment, tap a marker on that area and regenerate with a more specific prompt. Most makeup simulations work well on the first try.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—you usually won't need them.

"I test makeup looks before buying anything now. Upload a bare-face selfie, describe the products I'm considering, and see exactly how they'd look. Saved me from so many bad purchases." @BeautyTester_Lia

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Design Visualization

Preview makeup changes on your actual photo before committing — make confident design decisions backed by visuals.

Common Scenarios

Simulating makeup on a room, outfit, or space to evaluate the look
Creating client-ready mockups that visualize makeup in their specific context
Comparing multiple makeup options side by side using the same source photo

Best Practices

Upload a clear, well-lit photo from the angle you'd naturally view the subject
Be specific about the makeup — color, material, size, and placement all matter
Generate 2-3 variations to have meaningful options to compare

📷

Professional Proposals

Win client approval with realistic makeup previews that show exactly what the finished result will look like.

Common Scenarios

Building a presentation deck with makeup visualizations for a client pitch
Showing stakeholders makeup options before ordering materials or starting work
Creating before-and-after comparisons of makeup for a project proposal

Best Practices

Use the client's own photos for the most persuasive previews
Label each option clearly (Option A, B, C) for easy discussion
Note that makeup previews are approximations — set expectations about final results

📷

Personal Decision-Making

Try before you buy — preview makeup on your own photos to make smarter purchasing and lifestyle decisions.

Common Scenarios

Previewing makeup before making an expensive purchase
Testing how makeup looks in your actual space or on your actual person
Sharing makeup previews with family or friends to get opinions before deciding

Best Practices

Upload a photo of the actual space/item/person — generic stock images won't help you decide
Try the most different options first (bold vs. subtle) to narrow down your makeup preference
Save each preview so you can flip between them when comparing

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which facial feature you meant from description alone. This happens when you want makeup on one area but the AI applied it broadly.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area (lips, eyes, or cheeks) you want makeup applied to, then regenerate with your prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Makeup looks too heavy or unnatural

Why: The AI interpreted the description as requiring more coverage than intended, especially with words like 'bold' or 'dramatic'.

Try: apply the same makeup but lighter and more subtle, blend naturally into the skin with softer coverage

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'lighter', 'softer', or 'sheer' dials back the intensity while keeping the same color scheme.

Eyeshadow or lipstick color is wrong

Why: Color terms can be interpreted differently by the AI. 'Red' could mean cherry red, brick red, or burgundy.

Try: change the lipstick to a specific [cherry red / warm coral / deep burgundy] shade instead

Try This →

Tip: Use specific shade names like 'cherry', 'mauve', 'burnt sienna' rather than generic color words.

Makeup edges look patchy or unblended

Why: The AI struggled with smooth gradients at the edges of eyeshadow or blush, creating visible boundaries.

Try: reapply the makeup with better blending, smooth gradients between eyeshadow colors and natural skin transitions

Try This →

Tip: Mentioning 'smooth gradients' and 'natural transitions' explicitly tells the AI to blend edges properly.

Skin texture changed under the makeup

Why: The AI applied makeup by altering the skin texture rather than layering on top, making skin look artificial underneath.

Try: apply makeup as a layer on top of the natural skin, keep the original skin texture visible beneath the cosmetics

Try This →

Tip: 'Layer on top' tells the AI to simulate real makeup application rather than digitally replacing skin.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark my face before describing the makeup I want?

No! Just describe the look you want: 'apply natural makeup with pink lipstick and subtle eyeshadow.' The AI knows where eyes, lips, and cheeks are on a face. Only use markers when you want to adjust a specific feature—like changing just the eyeliner without affecting the rest of the makeup.

How do I try on makeup looks virtually using a photo?

Upload a clear photo of your face (bare-face works best for the most dramatic preview). Then describe the makeup look you want to try: colors, products, and style. The AI applies it realistically so you can see exactly how it would look before buying any products or committing to a look.
