Makeup Try-On: 6 Looks on You

How to try on makeup looks on your own photo with AI

To try on makeup with AI, upload one selfie to Makeup Try-On and choose a set of looks: you get a beauty poster with six close-ups of your own face, each in a different makeup look, side by side for comparison. A poster costs 1 photo on any plan, and the first 3 photos on a new account are free. Only the makeup changes; your skin tone, features and hair stay as they are in the selfie.

1. 1Upload a front-on daylight selfie with your eyes open, bare-faced or in light makeup, sunglasses off.
2. 2Choose a Looks set: Signature six (the default), Everyday, Evening or Bridal. Each look's name is printed under its frame.
3. 3Press Create (1 photo), then open the poster at full size and compare one thing at a time, such as the lips across all six frames.

Why put six looks on one poster?

Makeup photos taken on different days, in different light, are hard to compare. Here every frame is meant to be the same shot: one tight close-up from forehead to neck, one head angle, a light-grey backdrop and soft daylight-balanced light, so only the makeup changes. Each look is applied at full strength, as a makeup artist would for a campaign, so it reads even on a phone screen; only Natural and a few soft looks, such as Clean Girl in the Everyday set, stay subtle.

In our 16 test runs the title, set name and six labels were spelled correctly every time. Not every run moved the face into the grey studio: in some, the selfie's own wall stayed behind it, as in the first example.

What can you use it for?

• Choosing a look for a wedding, as the bride or a guest, before booking a trial with a makeup artist.
• Finding out whether a red lip or a smoky eye suits you before buying either.
• Picking a party look from the Evening set, from siren eyes to a cobalt-blue graphic liner.

What kind of selfie gives the clearest comparison?

• Look into the lens with relaxed, closed lips. Every frame shows open eyes and a closed mouth, so a squint or a wide grin leaves less to work from.
• Keep your usual hairstyle in the selfie. Loose hair stays loose around the face in all six frames and tied-back hair stays tied, so each look is judged with your real hair.
• Avoid warm lamplight and beauty filters. Foundation is matched to the skin tone it sees, so a color cast can carry into the base.

What goes wrong most often?

• Expecting product names or shade numbers. The poster prints no brands, only the look names and a dot in each look's lip color; take it to a store counter to match shades.
• Expecting a face edit. The lipstick is told to stay inside your own lip line, brows keep their shape, and the nose and jaw stay as they are.
• Looking for lip and eye colors picked for your undertone. The six looks are fixed, and only the base and cheek tint adapt to your skin; Makeup for Your Color Type reads your color type from a selfie and lists the shades to wear and to skip.
