Improving model styling, makeup or facial polish in generated images

Give your model a more styled, polished finish by improving facial details while keeping the rest of the image intact.

Written by Phuong Anh (Sofia)

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 edit the model’s face

To improve makeup, facial styling, or polish, go to our Image Editing Tool, then select the face area with the brush tool and describe the styling direction you want.

For best results:

  • Select the face area only

  • Describe the makeup style clearly

  • Mention the intensity, such as natural, polished, bold, editorial, or seasonal

  • Say what should stay unchanged

  • Keep the edit focused

  • Combine no more than two related changes at a time when possible

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.
