Transfer Any Makeup Look onto Any Face with FireRed Image Edit in ComfyUI

You have a portrait. You have a makeup reference. You want that exact look on that exact face without a makeup artist, a studio, or a reshoot.

Portrait in. Makeup reference in. Transferred look out.

Run it now on Floyo!

How It Works

Upload your portrait as Image 1. Upload the makeup look you want transferred as Image 2. FireRed Image Edit 1.1 reads both, extracts the makeup styling from the reference, and applies it to the face in Image 1.

The subject's face, pose, skin tone baseline, and identity stay intact. What transfers is the look — colors, coverage, application style. Not who's wearing it.

A dedicated Makeup LoRA guides the transfer. A Lightning LoRA keeps it to 8 steps. Output includes a before/after comparison automatically.

Key Inputs

Image 1: Portrait

The face you want to apply makeup to. Front-facing or three-quarter portraits work best. The clearer the face and the better the lighting, the more accurate the transfer.

Works well with:

  • clean portrait photos with even lighting

  • beauty and lifestyle shots

  • professional headshots

  • any portrait where the face is clearly visible and unobstructed

Image 2: Makeup Reference

The look you want transferred. Another portrait, a beauty campaign shot, or any image where the makeup is clearly visible and well-lit.

Works well with:

  • beauty campaign and editorial shots

  • professional portraits with strong makeup

  • product campaign images showing a specific look

Works less well with:

  • low-resolution or heavily shadowed reference images

  • theatrical or editorial looks with heavy texture, prosthetics, or face paint

  • references where the makeup is partially obscured

Prompt

Pre-filled: "Replace the makeup of the person in Image 2 onto Image 1, keeping the pose and facial features unchanged."

Edit it to add constraints:

  • "transfer only the lip color from Image 2" :partial transfer

  • "transfer the eye makeup only, keep natural lip color" :isolate specific features

  • "preserve natural brows, transfer foundation and lip color only"

The default transfers the full look. Be explicit in the prompt if you want something different.

Makeup LoRA Strength, default 0.6

  • 0.4–0.5: if the output is over-applying the look or losing natural features

  • 0.6: balanced starting point for most transfers

  • 0.7–0.8: if the transfer feels too subtle

Steps: Default 8 via Lightning LoRA. Fast and clean for most transfers. Raise to 12–15 if you're seeing artifacts or want more detail in fine elements like eyeliner or highlight placement.

Seed: Randomized by default. Fix it to reproduce a result. Change it to get variation on the same transfer.

What This Is Great For

Beauty e-commerce: Show the same product look across different models without reshooting. Upload each model portrait and apply the campaign look from one reference image.

Campaign visualization: Preview how a specific makeup look translates to a particular face before committing to a production shoot. Fast enough to test multiple looks on the same model in one session.

Portrait retouching: Let clients try different makeup styles on their own photo without a makeup artist. Show natural-to-glam variations from a single portrait session.

Lookbook and editorial: generate multiple makeup variations on the same model shot for editorial planning and style direction.

What to Watch Out For

Very fine detail, individual lash definition, precise liner edges, gets softer at 8 steps. Raise to 12-15 and check LoRA strength if fine detail matters.

Theatrical and editorial makeup with heavy texture, prosthetics, or extreme face paint is outside what the Makeup LoRA was trained on. For natural-to-glam transfers it's reliable. For costume-level looks, results vary.

Reference image quality matters. Heavy shadows or low resolution on Image 2 makes it harder for the model to read the look accurately. Use well-lit, clear beauty shots as your reference.

The reference person's identity does not transfer. Only the makeup styling comes through. The face in Image 1 stays the face in Image 1.
