AI makeup try-on: see a look on your own photo

Lookslate applies one of six makeup looks to your selfie with an AI image service, or shows it on an AI-generated sample model, then shows a before-and-after comparison with color tips for your eye color, hair color and skin tone and a three-step guide to recreate the look.

Start the quiz

How it works

  1. Answer the quiz. Tell us your age range, skin tone, eye color, hair color, makeup experience and a few preferences.
  2. Add a photo or pick a sample face. Take a selfie with your camera, upload a photo of up to 20 MB, or choose one of the sample faces.
  3. Choose a look. Pick Soft Glam, Smokey Eyes, Eyeliner Focused, Business, Bronze Goddess or Evening Glam.
  4. Wait for the preview. The image service applies only the makeup of the chosen look and keeps your face, hair, clothing and background.
  5. Compare and learn. Drag the slider to compare before and after, read your color tips and follow the three-step guide for your look.

The six looks you can try

Each look applies a specific set of makeup to your photo. These are the exact descriptions the preview uses:

  • Soft Glam: clearly visible soft glam makeup: champagne and rose shimmer eyeshadow with a defined warm-brown crease, fuller fluttery lashes, luminous skin, rosy blush on the cheekbones and satin pink-nude lipstick.
  • Smokey Eyes: a bold smoky eye: charcoal and dark brown eyeshadow blended from a dark upper lash line into the crease and smudged along the lower lash line, full black lashes, soft blush and nude lipstick.
  • Eyeliner Focused: sharp black winged eyeliner with a clearly visible wing, full defined lashes, an even base, softly flushed cheeks and nude-rose lipstick.
  • Business: polished, clearly visible daytime makeup: an even base, neutral taupe eyeshadow with a defined crease and a thin dark lash line, groomed brows, rose blush and muted rose lipstick.
  • Bronze Goddess: warm bronze and gold shimmer eyeshadow, visible bronzer on the cheekbones and temples, a golden highlight, peach blush and glossy warm-nude lips.
  • Evening Glam: full evening glam makeup: shimmery bronze-plum eyeshadow with a deep outer corner and black liner, full dramatic lashes, sculpted cheeks with a radiant highlight and rich berry-rose lipstick.

What the preview changes, and what it keeps

The image service is instructed to change only the makeup. It is asked to keep your identity, face shape, skin tone, hair, clothing, pose, background and composition, and not to change your age, ethnicity or body shape. AI-generated images can still vary and may contain errors, so judge the overall style rather than exact details.

What you get with your result

  • A before-and-after slider comparing your photo with the makeup preview.
  • Color tips for your eye color, hair color and skin tone, each with three recommended shades.
  • A three-step guide to recreate your chosen look.
  • A download of your preview image and a result link to come back to it.

What it does not do

  • It does not match a foundation shade to your skin. Our skin tone guide explains how to test foundation.
  • It does not recommend specific brands or products.
  • It offers six looks; it is not a free-form makeup editor.

A sharp, front-facing photo in soft daylight, without beauty filters, gives the most useful result. See how to take a selfie for virtual makeup try-on.

Frequently asked questions

How does AI makeup try-on work?

You choose a look and add a photo. An AI image service edits the photo to apply only that look's makeup, and Lookslate shows the result next to your original photo. If you pick a sample model instead, you see the same look already applied to an AI-generated person.

Will the AI change my face?

It is instructed to change only the makeup and keep your identity, face shape, skin tone, hair and background. Generated images can still contain errors, so treat the preview as a styling idea.

Do I need to upload a selfie?

No. You can choose a sample model in the quiz, an AI-generated person, and see the look on her face instead.

Which makeup looks can I try?

Six looks: Soft Glam, Smokey Eyes, Eyeliner Focused, Business, Bronze Goddess and Evening Glam.
