Photo requirements for Halloween Makeup Filter

• Human: chest up, face straight to the camera, sharp and in good light, with the eyes open. The makeup goes on top of your own face, so a clear, close face matters most.
• No sunglasses or glasses, no hat that hides the hair, no heavy filter. Light everyday makeup or none is best.
• Your hair color and length come from the photo. Long hair flips best, but short hair works too.
• The top you wear in the photo shows before the flip; after the flip you wear the look's collar.
• Pet: one animal, head and chest in view, face to the camera, in daylight.

Troubleshooting Halloween Makeup Filter

• --- — ---
• You get red hair or two high buns — The artist in the reel has red hair in two buns. The prompt bans both unless your photo shows them. Use a sharp, recent photo and run it again.
• A new look keeps some red clown lines — The reel shows the clown look, and a take can keep a little of it. Run it again, or pick Evil clown.
• The face looks less like you — Strong face paint hides part of the face. A close, front-facing photo in good light helps most.
