Do I like the whole look—or only one part of it?
Start with the full composition, then repeat the comparison with only the lip, eye, cheek, complexion, brow, or finish changed.

The decision brief
The question this feature answers best.
Enter with one decision, keep the comparison controlled, and leave with language you can use beyond the screen.
Change one meaningful variable at a time
Keep the portrait, crop, and light fixed. Fewer controlled variations make color, placement, intensity, and focal point easier to judge.
A direction you can explain in real makeup language
Save the most useful result and name its family, depth, placement, and finish before you move to real products or technique.
How it works
From first idea to a comparison worth keeping.
Set the baseline
Use one clear, front-facing portrait in soft neutral light.
Choose the scope
Try the whole face, isolate one category, or describe a custom look.
Keep the useful change
Review Before and After, name what works, and save the result worth testing.
The whole face—or exactly one decision
Begin with a complete look such as clean girl, soft glam, bronze goddess, smoky eye, bridal soft, or editorial graphic. Then move into focused categories including lipstick, gloss, tint, liner, shadow, lashes, blush, contour, bronzer, highlighter, complexion, brows, and finish.
A full-face result tells you whether the composition works. A category comparison tells you why. Use both when you want to keep the mood but change the lip, eye, cheek, coverage, or level of polish.

Read the idea—not an imaginary product label
A generated image can clarify color family, depth, placement, contrast, focal point, and finish. It cannot tell you which real formula will oxidize, crease, transfer, flash back, or sit well on your skin.
Translate the saved image into useful language—a muted berry satin lip, softly lifted rose cheek, compact smoky eye, or luminous base—then test real products in the conditions that matter.
Where it becomes useful
Give the feature one job—and judge it by that job.
A useful result should clarify the whole look, isolate one detail, or give you a product, technique, or routine decision to test next.
Compare two genuinely different directions
Keep the same portrait and test one wearable option beside one bolder option. The contrast reveals more than a long grid of nearly identical looks.
Isolate the feature carrying the look
If the full face feels too busy, compare lips, liner, blush, or finish on its own. You can keep the overall mood while changing the part that does not feel like you.
Create a smarter product-test shortlist
Save the family, depth, placement, and finish you like. Then test a few real formulas instead of searching for an exact color sampled from a generated screen.
Review with a critical eye
Read the preview from the whole face to the smallest detail
Begin with the emotional read: fresh, polished, sculpted, romantic, graphic, or dramatic. Then check whether the focal point, color balance, and placement support that impression.
Overall balance
Notice where your eye lands first and whether skin, eyes, cheeks, and lips compete or support one another.
Placement
Look at liner angle, cheek direction, lip edge, and highlight location. Placement is often more transferable than an exact shade.
Wearability
Ask what you would soften for daylight, strengthen for an event, or simplify for the time and tools you actually have.
A repeatable practice plan
Move from a full-face reaction to one feature you can recreate.
Complete looks are useful for discovering mood; focused categories are better for learning why the mood works. This sequence uses both without turning the session into an endless gallery.
Compare one wearable and one expressive full look.
Use the same bare or lightly made-up portrait. Choose directions with a clear difference in palette, focal point, or finish so your first reaction contains useful contrast.
Identify the feature carrying the stronger result.
Cover parts of the image mentally and ask whether the win comes from skin, cheek, eye, brow, or lip. Name the placement, color relationship, edge, and intensity responsible.
Repeat only that category on the original portrait.
Keep the surrounding face familiar. Test one credible variation—softer lip edge, higher cheek, more compact eye, or less luminous base—to confirm that the feature still works without generated styling around it.
Translate the finalist into one product-and-technique test.
Look for the required behavior rather than an imaginary exact product: opacity, blendability, shape control, finish, and wear. Practice the anchor before rebuilding the whole face.
Save the original, the preferred complete look, and the isolated category test. Add a one-sentence brief naming the anchor and one constraint—such as daylight, glasses, ten-minute application, or long wear. That three-image set explains both the inspiration and the part you intend to use.
Permission before processing
Your selected portrait is processed only after you request an AI feature and accept the photo-processing disclosure shown in MaqAI. Live camera permission is separate from photo-based generation.

Questions about AI Makeup Try-On
Straight answers about the app, AI previews, privacy, and what to expect.
Can I try a complete look at once?
Yes. MaqAI includes complete looks as well as individual categories for refining lips, eyes, complexion, sculpting, and finish.
Can I describe my own makeup idea?
Yes. The custom look flow lets you describe a makeup direction such as bridal soft, bronze goddess, or editorial graphic liner.
Will a real product look exactly the same?
No. A preview is a visual planning aid. Real shade and finish depend on the product, lighting, skin, camera, and application.
Put AI Makeup Try-On to work
Start with one decision—not twenty random options.
