Makeup try-on
Virtual makeup try-on for every look
Most of us own a lipstick we wore once. Swatches on the back of your hand do not show how a shade works with your skin, eyes and hair together. Lody shows you the full look on your own face: pick a style like soft glam or a smokey eye, add a lip color, and see it on your selfie.
Use it to plan an evening look, choose a bridal style before the trial, or simply find the nude or red that actually suits you before you spend money on it.
How to try on makeup in Lody
- 1
Upload a selfie
A bare or lightly made-up face in soft, even light gives the clearest result.
- 2
Choose a look and a lip color
Mix any of the 10 makeup looks with any of the 16 lip shades, or change just one.

Keep the looks you love in your gallery and recreate them, or show them to your makeup artist.

Why try it on first
Stop buying the wrong shade
See a lipstick on your actual lips and skin tone before it ends up in the drawer.
Plan big-day makeup
Compare bridal, soft glam and natural looks before your trial so you walk in with a clear idea.
Try looks you would not risk
Bold dramatic or editorial makeup takes time to do. Preview it first and only do it if you love it.
