If you like most of your generated image but want the model to look more styled, polished, expressive, elevated, or campaign-ready, you can use Image Editing to refine the model’s face without regenerating the full image.
This is useful when the outfit, pose, background, and composition already work, but the model’s facial styling needs improvement.
When to use Image Editing
Use Image Editing when you want to improve a specific part of the model’s look while keeping the rest of the image the same.
Image Editing is a good option when you want to:
Add natural makeup
Add bolder makeup
Define the brows
Add blush or lip color
Make the model look more polished
Make the face better match the campaign style
This works best when the rest of the image is already usable and the request can be handled as a focused edit.
How to refine the model's face
There are two ways to make this kind of edit. Both start from an image you have already generated.
Option 1: Image Editing tool (Brush)
Open the image in the canvas and open the Image Editing tool, then select the face area with the brush and describe the styling direction you want. This is the better choice when you want precise control over a specific area. See the Image Editing guide for the full steps.
Option 2: Reuse + prompt
Click the image, choose Reuse, and write your request directly in the chat feed. Dreem refines the prompt and shows a preview of how it will interpret your request before generating. Review the preview to make sure it matches what you want. If it looks right, click Generate. If something needs adjusting, edit the prompt before generating. This works well for makeup and facial styling changes, which usually come through clearly from a prompt.
For best results with either option:
Describe the makeup or styling clearly
Mention the intensity, such as natural, polished, bold, editorial, or seasonal
Say what should stay unchanged
Keep the edit focused, and combine no more than two related changes at a time
With the Brush, select the face area only
Example prompt:
"Add polished natural makeup with softly defined brows and subtle lip color. Keep the model, outfit, pose, background, and composition unchanged."
Another example:
"Make the model's face look more editorial and campaign-ready. Add bolder makeup and defined brows, while keeping the rest of the image unchanged."
When to generate a new image instead
If you do not like the overall image, it is usually better to generate a new output instead of editing the face.
Regenerating may be the better option when:
You do not like the model overall
The pose, outfit, composition, and styling are mostly wrong
You want a completely different model look
The image needs major creative changes across several areas
In these cases, a focused face edit may not be enough to get the result you want.
Recommended workflow
If most of the image works, use Image Editing to refine the model’s facial styling. Select only the face area, describe the makeup or styling direction clearly, and include what should stay the same.
If the image needs a very different model look or major changes across the pose, outfit, styling, and composition, generate a new output instead.
Key takeaway
Use Image Editing when the image is mostly right and you only want to improve the model’s makeup, face, or overall polish. Generate a new output when the full image direction needs to change.
