Makeup Preview

Beauty content lives on the before-and-after, and the after usually takes forty minutes of filming before you know if the look even suits you. Makeup Preview lets you see it first. Upload a bare-face selfie or a frame grab from your last video, describe the look in plain words, and get back the same photo with that makeup on your face. It is the fastest way to build a thumbnail for the tutorial, test three looks against a sponsor brief, or mock up the after side of a comparison post before you commit to the full routine on camera. Same face, same light, same background, new look.

The only control is the makeup look field, and it does the heavy lifting. Be specific the way you would be to a friend: soft glam with a nude lip, cool-toned smoky eye with a sharp wing, glossy clean-girl skin and a berry stain. Name products by type, not brand. The tool applies the look to your existing features and skin tone: it does not change your face shape, nose, eye color or hair, and it keeps the lighting and background of the original. Coverage follows what you asked for, so if you say minimal you get minimal. Results are best on a front-facing, evenly lit selfie with the face taking up most of the frame.

Run each look at Standard for 4 credits while you are deciding, and only push to Pro for the one that becomes the thumbnail. Put the before and after side by side with Carousel Slide, or drop the after into Reel Cover for the vertical post. If the base skin needs evening out first, run Retouch Face and then bring the result here. For a full glow-up post, chain into Hairstyle to change the hair on the same photo. Your first Standard run is covered by the 4 free credits you get on signup, so start with the look you are least sure about and let the result decide.
