## What it does

A bare-faced portrait gets a makeup look in fast motion. Foundation, blush, brows, shadow and lip color appear layer by layer, and the clip ends with you checking the finished look and smiling.

## From our test

We started from a bare-faced woman in a white robe, and her face visibly changed across the five frames, with warmer cheeks and a glossy finish by the end. She finishes with a glowing glam look and a smile.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a front-facing portrait with an even, natural face so the changes are easy to follow.
- Stand near a window or soft light, because harsh shadows can hide the early frames.
- Pull hair back off the forehead if you can, so the brows and eyes are easy to see.

## Ideas for using it

- A makeup artist showing a before and after on a Reel.
- A friend making a get-ready-with-me teaser before a party.
- A beauty shop showing how a palette builds a look.

## A full glam look builds up in fast motion

Soft makeup layers onto your face in a quick timelapse, ending in a polished glam look. Front-facing portraits with a bare face work best.

## Still looks like you

The video opens on your exact photo, so the face, hair, outfit and surroundings carry through the whole effect.

## A full transformation in one shot

The change happens on camera in one continuous take, so viewers see the before and the after in the same clip.

## How to make it

1. Upload a photo, or pick one from your library.
2. Press Generate. There is no prompt to write; the effect is already set up.
3. Your 5 second HD video is ready in a minute or two. Save it to your library or download it.

## FAQ

### Is the makeup look the same every time?

The style is set by the effect, so you get a polished glam look rather than a custom palette.

### Can I use a photo that already has makeup on?

You can, but a bare face makes the change much clearer.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Glam Timelapse?

No. Glam Timelapse is a ready-made effect: upload a photo and press Generate. The directions for the motion, camera and lighting are already built in.

### How long is the Glam Timelapse video, and how long does it take?

Every effect makes a 5 second HD video that matches the shape of your photo, portrait or landscape. Most are ready in one to three minutes, and you can leave the page while it renders.

### Does the video have sound?

Yes. Each clip comes with matching ambient sound effects. It does not add music, so you can lay your own track over it in any editor.

### Can I use a photo of someone else?

Only photos of adults, of yourself or of people who agreed to it. Every upload goes through the same safety checks as the rest of PixelDojo.
