Do I need lipstick on already in my photo?

No, both of our test runs added the lipstick and animated the application from scratch, even on photos that started bare-lipped.

Will my photo's original lighting or color stay exactly the same?

Not necessarily. In one of our test runs a strong red room tone shifted to a more neutral warm light after the first second, since the effect brings its own close-up beauty lighting.

Can I change the lipstick color?

Yes, the prompt is editable — open it in the generator and swap "deep red" for any color you'd rather see.

Will it change what's in my photo?

No. The effect only adds motion, light and atmosphere; everyone in the photo stays exactly as they appear in it. The default model doesn't filter photos. Some models you can switch to in Studio apply their own content filters and may turn a photo down.

Is my result private?

Yes. Your upload and the finished clip stay private to your account and never appear on a public page.

Each effect defaults to a five-second clip priced in US dollars on the Generate button. Before you run it, you can switch to a different model, adjust the length, or change the resolution in Studio, and the price on the Generate button updates to match. An ordinary failed or expired run normally releases the reserved amount. For a content refusal, follow the selected model’s billing policy.

Will this effect change how the person in my photo looks?

Your photo anchors the subject; the effect adds the motion and look described in its prompt. Check the face, hands and clothing in the result. If a gesture distorts them, try a clearer crop or a simpler movement.

Can I upload a photo of someone else?

Only one you have the right to use, and never to make intimate content of a real person without their documented consent. The content policy has the full rule.

How long is the Red Lipstick clip, and can it be longer?

Red Lipstick defaults to a 5-second clip. Before you run it in Studio, you can choose a longer length — the maximum depends on the model you pick — and the price on the button updates to match. You can also continue on the canvas from the clip's last frame.

What this effect sends

This is the full prompt, word for word. Copy it, or open it in the generator and change anything you like.

The main subject glides a deep red lipstick slowly across their lips, presses them together, then looks up into the lens with a satisfied half-smile and holds it. Close, flattering beauty light; the camera holds steady with a shallow focus. They stay exactly as they appear in the photo.

Customize in the generator

Pictures that work best

You don't need lipstick already on in your photo — the effect adds it and animates the application itself.
Sharp, well-lit close-up photos of the face give the cleanest result, since the camera holds close throughout.
If your source photo has strong or unusual colored lighting, expect it to shift toward a more neutral tone once the effect's own lighting takes over.
A slightly lowered starting gaze in your photo matches the look-up beat at the end naturally.

How it works

01
Add one photo
Choose the photo to match the example: include both people for a shared gesture, and keep the face and any hands involved clearly visible. Upload your own photo or start with a Red Lipstick sample.
02
Check the price
Red Lipstick defaults to a 5-second clip for $0.185. Swap the model or change the length and resolution before you run — the price on the button updates to match, and that's the whole cost of the clip.
03
Generate
Your Red Lipstick clip renders in the background, lands in History and is never published.

What it does to your photo

Red Lipstick is a close beauty-ritual moment: your subject glides a deep red lipstick slowly across their lips, presses them together, then looks up into the lens with a satisfied half-smile and holds it. Close, flattering beauty light frames the shot, and the camera holds steady with a shallow focus. The lipstick itself is added by the prompt, so you don't need one in your original photo.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a woman with short natural hair and a small nose ring brought a red lipstick up, glided it across her lips, pressed them together and looked up at the lens with a satisfied smile at second four. A woman with a platinum bob painted on red lipstick and smiled at the lens; the deep red room lighting in her original photo shifted to a more neutral warm tone after the first second, which is worth knowing if you were hoping the exact original color grade would hold throughout.

The honest takeaway on lighting: if your photo has a strong, unusual color cast already, expect it to normalize somewhat once the effect's own lighting takes over, rather than staying identical to the source.

The default is five seconds on MiniMax H3, but nothing is locked: pick another model from the list in Studio, such as Seedance 2.0 Fast, Vidu Q3 Turbo or Wan 3.0, or change the length and resolution, and the price on the Generate button follows. We made our samples on MiniMax H3; other models interpret the same wording a little differently.

It fits a beauty or getting-ready sequence, a confident close-up beat in a longer profile reel, or a standalone glamour moment for a personal-brand post.

The prompt is public and editable. If you'd rather a different lipstick color, open it in the generator and swap "deep red" for the shade you want.
