## What it does

Black and white paint spreads across your face into a skull design with dark eyes and painted teeth. The room around you turns dark and candlelit as you turn your head and give a slow, serious look.

## From our test

We started with a dark-haired woman in a black tee. Skull paint spread from her nose across her face and down her neck while candles glowed behind her, and it took about 3 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a close-up with your face and neck visible, since the paint spreads that far.
- Wear a dark top so the skull design stands out.
- Take the photo with even light and no strong shadows on your face.

## Ideas for using it

- A Halloween party host shares a costume preview with guests.
- A makeup artist shows off a skull-paint concept before painting it for real.
- A friend posts a spooky-season profile clip.

## FAQ

### Does the paint look the same every time?

Each run varies a little, but it follows a skeleton design with dark eyes.

### Can I use a photo with glasses?

Clear lenses work, though a face without glasses lets the paint show better.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Spooky Makeup?

No. Spooky Makeup 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 Spooky Makeup 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.
