Every October the same question comes up: which costume will actually look good on me? Store photos are shot on models, and a costume that arrives two days before the party is hard to swap. AI photo editing solves this: upload an ordinary selfie and the model changes the outfit, makeup, lighting and background while keeping your face.
Which photo works best
- Face in focus, looking at the camera or at a slight angle.
- Even daylight with no harsh shadows.
- No sunglasses, masks or hands covering the face.
- For couples and groups, pick a photo where faces are not too small.

Copy-ready prompts
These prompts are written for photo editing mode: first describe what should change, then what must stay the same. The last sentence matters — without it the model may "improve" the face too.
Turn the person in the photo into an elegant Halloween witch: tall black pointed hat, dark velvet dress, a glowing potion in hand. Background: a moonlit forest with carved pumpkins and light fog. Keep the face and facial features exactly the same
Dress both people in the photo as Morticia and Gomez Addams: a long black high-collar dress and a pinstripe suit. Gloomy candlelit living room. Keep both faces unchanged
Add realistic Halloween SFX makeup: a scar on the cheek, dark circles under the eyes, a drop of fake blood at the corner of the mouth. Do not change clothes, hair or background
Turn it into a spooky video
Once you have a favorite costume photo, animate it: the witch looks up, fog swirls and candles flicker. A five-second clip is perfect for Stories and Reels. Open the photo animation tool, upload the image and describe the movement.
