How to transfer makeup from a reference photo

For a look you can name, upload your portrait and describe the colors, placement and finish. A natural look might need taupe eyeshadow, a fine brown liner and a rosy nude satin lip. You can leave the makeup reference empty.

Use a reference when the details are easier to show than to describe. Your portrait is Image 1. The reference is Image 2. It supplies the makeup direction: eyeshadow, liner, blush or lips. Ask the model to retain Image 1's face, skin tone, hair and setting. This is a generated photo preview; it does not identify a cosmetic brand's exact shade or use a live camera.

Choose a portrait with one unobstructed face. Even light, open eyes and a front or slight three-quarter view make the change easier to inspect. Use the original photo when comparing several different looks.

Choose one reference with the relevant makeup visible. If you want the eyeliner, the eye area should be sharp enough to see its shape. Similar lighting and head angles can make your comparison easier. Use photos you have permission to upload, and put the reference in the optional second field.

Name the detail that matters: a long black wing, soft copper on the upper lid, peach blush high on the cheeks, or a glossy berry lip. Specify the whole look or only one part. 'Only the eyes' should also say to retain the original lips and cheeks.

Keep the preservation instructions concrete. Ask to retain the person's identity, facial proportions, eye color, skin tone and texture, expression, hair, clothes, light and background. These instructions guide the edit; check the finished picture because AI can also redraw details.

Check the face and hair first, then compare the eyeliner shape, shadow placement, cheeks and lip finish. If the person or setting changed substantially, start again with the original portrait and clarify that Image 2 is only a makeup reference.

If you like the result but want less blush or a different lip color, use the preview as the next photo and describe that specific change. Continue editing replaces the portrait with the current result and keeps the reference. To compare a different full look against your original face, re-upload the original rather than repeatedly editing the previous preview.

The tool shows the cost for the selected model and settings before generation. Another generation is another image and uses credits when successful, even if you prefer an earlier version. Loading examples and downloading a saved result do not start a generation. Pricing has the current packs and subscriptions.
