How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Choose a front-facing photo showing your full face clearly. Even lighting helps the AI understand your face shape and natural shadows. The AI will apply contouring based on your bone structure and the style you describe.

    Expect: Simple contouring: 30-40 seconds. Complex multi-area sculpting with highlight: 40-50 seconds and may need refinement.
  2. Describe the contouring you want

    Type the contouring style you want to try. Specify intensity (subtle, natural, dramatic), areas to contour (cheekbones, nose, jawline, forehead), and whether you want highlight too. The AI applies contour in the shadows and highlight on high points for a sculpted look.

    Tip: Be specific about which features to contour: 'contour cheekbones and slim nose' is clearer than just 'contour my face'. Mention your face shape if you want technique-specific placement.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    simulate Add subtle natural contouring to cheekbones with soft highlight on high points
    simulate Apply classic contouring: sculpt cheekbones, slim nose, and define jawline with blended application
    simulate Give me soft bronzy contour on cheekbones and temples for a natural sun-kissed dimension
    simulate Add dramatic contouring with deep shadows under cheekbones and bright highlight on cheekbone tops
    4 more prompts
    simulate Apply nose contouring to make it appear slimmer with highlight down the bridge
    simulate Give me contouring for round face: shadows on sides of forehead, under cheekbones, and along jawline
    simulate Add minimal natural contour with cream products look - soft and seamlessly blended
    simulate Apply full face sculpting: contour hairline, cheekbones, nose, jawline with strategic highlighting
  3. Review the result

    Check that the contouring enhances your features naturally. Look at placement, blending, and intensity. Make sure it doesn't look muddy or too heavy. If adjustments needed, describe changes like 'soften the contour' or 'add more highlight to cheekbones'.

  4. Download Your Sculpted Look

    Save your photo with contouring applied in high resolution. No watermark, perfect as a reference guide for applying your own contour makeup.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark areas of my face before describing contouring?

No! Just describe which features you want to contour (cheekbones, nose, jawline, etc.) and the AI applies it to the correct areas. The AI understands facial anatomy and contour placement.

Can I try different contouring techniques on the same photo?

Yes! After seeing one result, describe a different intensity or technique and the AI replaces the previous contouring. Try subtle natural vs dramatic sculpting, or test different face-shape-specific techniques. Each generation replaces the previous application.

What contouring techniques can I simulate?

You can try any technique: classic contouring (cheeks, nose, jaw), draping, face-shape-specific placement (round, square, long, heart, oval), nose slimming, forehead narrowing, jawline definition, and more. Specify which areas and the AI applies technique-appropriate placement.

How do I know where to contour for my face shape?

Mention your face shape in your prompt and the AI applies appropriate placement. Round: sides of face and temples. Square: soften angular jaw. Long: horizontal on forehead/chin. Heart: cheekbones only. Oval: minimal, enhance cheekbones. You can also just describe areas you want to define.

Should I include highlight with my contour?

Highlight enhances contour by creating contrast and dimension. Mention both for best results: 'contour cheekbones with highlight on top' creates more sculpted look than contour alone. You can also try contour-only to see the difference, then add highlight in a second generation.

What's the difference between cream and powder contour?

You can specify finish: 'cream contour' creates a more seamless, skin-like finish. 'Powder contour' looks more matte and defined. Mention 'natural and blended like cream' for subtle looks or 'defined powder contour' for more structured sculpting. The AI simulates both finishes.

How do I create subtle vs dramatic contouring?

Use intensity words: 'subtle', 'soft', 'natural dimension' for everyday looks. Use 'dramatic', 'deep shadows', 'intense sculpting', 'bold' for editorial or glam looks. The same placement looks completely different at subtle vs dramatic intensity. Specify what you want.
