Do I need to mark the tired areas before describing?
No! Just describe what you want: 'make me look refreshed and well-rested' or 'fix the tired appearance.' The AI understands the common visual markers of tiredness - dark circles, bags under eyes, dull skin, flat eyes. It will address all of these automatically. Only use markers if you want to target one specific area that needs extra attention after the initial fix.
Will it look obvious that I edited the photo?
Not if you use natural-sounding prompts. Include words like 'natural,' 'subtle,' or 'like I slept well' to guide the AI toward believable results. The best tired-face fixes look like you on a good day - not like you applied heavy makeup or filters. If the first attempt looks too dramatic, ask for a more subtle version. Most users get natural results on the first try.
What exactly does the AI fix when I say 'tired appearance'?
The AI addresses multiple tiredness markers: dark circles under eyes (discoloration), bags under eyes (puffiness), dull or washed-out skin tone, flat or heavy-looking eyes, and overall lack of facial vitality. When you say 'tired appearance' the AI evaluates your specific photo and fixes whichever combination of these issues is visible. You can also be specific: 'just dark circles' or 'dark circles and dull skin' if you want targeted fixes.
Can it fix extreme exhaustion or just mild tiredness?
It works on both, though severe exhaustion (deep dark circles, heavy bags, very dull skin) may need 2-3 refinement passes for the most natural result. The AI can handle post-all-nighter, new-parent-level, or travel-lag exhaustion. Very severe cases might look most natural with progressive improvement rather than one dramatic transformation. Try 'make me look more rested' first, then 'brighten more' if needed.
What if I have dark circles but they're genetic, not from being tired?
The AI fixes the appearance of dark circles regardless of the cause - whether they're from lack of sleep, genetics, age, or allergies. It sees the visual markers (discoloration, shadows) and corrects them the same way. Genetic dark circles often need a bit more comprehensive treatment, so mention both 'dark circles' and 'brighten under-eye area' in your prompt.
Will it work on photos with makeup on?
Yes. The AI can refresh a tired face even when you're wearing makeup. It focuses on structural markers of tiredness (dark circles, bags, dull tone) and typically leaves your intentional makeup (lipstick, eye makeup) intact. If you're concerned, add 'keep my makeup unchanged' to your prompt. Works particularly well for fixing photos where you look tired despite wearing makeup.
