What input photo gives the best makeup result

The cleaner your starting portrait, the more believable the makeup. Use a sharp, front-facing shot in soft, even light, with your full face visible and no harsh side-shadows or color casts from screens or neon. Avoid heavy existing makeup, as the AI builds on what it sees. Tie hair back from the cheeks and brows so the tool can read your features clearly. For the most natural finish, shoot at eye level rather than from below. If your photo is slightly soft or low-res, run it through the Image Upscaler first so the retouching has crisp detail to work with.

Pairing makeup with other portrait tools

AI Makeup works best as one step in a polished portrait workflow. For a deeper, photographer-grade cleanup, follow up with the Portrait Enhancer to refine lighting and sharpness. If a friend blinked or looked flat, fix it with the Expression Editor before retouching. Want a magazine-style result on a clean studio backdrop? Drop the background with the Background Remover after applying makeup. Common combinations include:
  • Dating profile: retouch-only, then enhance
  • Event glam: glam preset, then upscale for print
  • Headshot: retouch-only for a natural, professional look

Best photos to use

  • A bare or near-bare face for the Natural and Glam presets, since the AI lays product over what it already sees and existing lipstick, liner or filled brows get stacked into a heavier, muddier result
  • The whole eye open and the iris visible, because the Glam preset anchors liner and shadow to the lash line and lid crease, and a half-closed or squinting eye gives it nothing to wing out from
  • Lips relaxed and parted just enough to show the front teeth if you want the Retouch-only whitening to do anything, since it brightens the teeth it can see and skips a fully closed mouth
  • Both cheeks and the jawline in frame, not cropped at the chin, so Glam contour and blush land on the actual face shape instead of being applied to a half-visible cheekbone
  • Pores and fine skin texture still readable rather than a phone beauty-filter that has already smoothed them, because the retouch pass on pre-blurred skin tips straight into a waxy plastic finish

What to keep in mind

  • The three presets are fixed prompts, so you cannot specify a lipstick shade, a brown vs black liner, a cut-crease or a particular contour intensity - Glam decides the palette for you and you re-run for a different read
  • It only paints the face the lens caught, so a profile turn, sunglasses, a hand on the chin or a fringe over the brow leaves those areas untouched while the rest gets a full beat, which can look lopsided
  • It applies one even look across the face and does not target a single feature, so you cannot ask it to whiten teeth but leave the eyes alone, or add only lipstick - the chosen preset runs the whole pass

What you get

You get the same portrait back at the same pose and framing, with makeup and retouching applied to the face only - skin tone evened, blemishes and shine reduced, eyes and lips defined, and teeth brightened - depending on whether you chose Natural, Glam or Retouch-only.

Real ways to use AI Makeup & Retouch

Matching a half-glam group photo
One friend in the shot is in full evening makeup and you went bare-faced; the Glam preset evens you up to the same finished look so the picture reads as a planned night out rather than one person mid-getting-ready.
Calming a harsh-flash club or party shot
Direct flash flattened your skin and lit up every shiny patch and blemish; Retouch-only knocks back the shine and evens the complexion without adding makeup that would clash with the look you already had on.
Reviving an old or faded portrait
On a years-old photo where the skin looks dull and washed out, the Natural preset adds a fresh, healthy flush and softly defined eyes so the face looks alive again without turning it into an obvious modern glam edit.

This adds makeup and retouches the skin - it does not swap or replace the face, so if you want to put your face onto someone else's styled photo use Group Face Swap instead; and to restyle the hair around your new beauty look rather than the face itself, run the Hairstyle Changer.

AI Makeup & Retouch FAQ

Does it look fake?
Not unless you want it to - The natural and retouch-only options keep things subtle and realistic.
Can I just retouch without makeup?
Yes - The 'retouch only' preset evens skin and brightens the smile with no visible makeup.
Is it free?
Yes, free. It uses 10 credits per run.
Can I apply makeup to a photo of someone else?
Only edit photos of people who have agreed to it. Please follow our <a href='/consent-guidelines/'>consent guidelines</a> before retouching anyone but yourself.
Will the glam preset add too much?
The glam preset is bolder by design, but it stays photorealistic. If it feels heavy, switch to the natural or retouch-only finish for a subtler look.
