What Makeup Glam is for

Deep wine into near-black, a three point gold rule, serif labels, vertical, gently rounded. Bridal and event work is the target: a full face, an evening look, anything photographed under warm light where the frame should feel like the occasion. The vertical canvas takes a head and shoulders with the hair in frame, which matters when the hair was part of the booking.

#8B0A3C shades into #3D0015 behind the two halves, and that wash is part of the template rather than a filter on your photographs. A 3 point #D4AF37 divider splits the canvas, and the Playfair Display Bold labels sit bottom centre. The canvas is 9:16 vertical, rounded by 12 points, and the labels arrive reading Before and After.

The specificationExtracted, not typed

Every value in Makeup Glam, as the build holds it

What makes a trade template a trade template lives mostly in the small values: the wording already sitting in the labels, the palette, the crop it was cut to. The geometry is drawn below at the app's drawing scale, and the panel next to it lists the record's words, default labels included, so the retyping you avoid is visible up front.

Shooting for itNiche category

How to shoot a pair for Makeup Glam

Trade work is judged by people who do the same work, so the pair has to survive an expert eye. Hair and makeup need the same head angle and the same light, because a chin lifted two inches reads as a different face. Nails need one fixed distance, hands in the same position both times. Detailing and landscaping need the wide shot before the close-up, or nobody believes the panel belongs to the car. A pair that would satisfy somebody in your trade will satisfy a customer easily.

In orderWritten for niche work
  1. 01Take the before before you start work, not after you have half finished. This is the step every trade skips and every trade regrets.
  2. 02Mark your standing spot. A tile, a chair leg, a wheel arch, a paving stone: something that will still be there when you shoot the after.
  3. 03Shoot the after from that mark with Ghost Camera on, then take a second one a step closer for the detail.
  4. 04Pick the pack for your trade. The label wording and the palette are already right, so the only real decision left is the canvas shape.
  5. 05Add your business name in the branding strip if the template reserves one, then export. Trade work gets shared, and a name in the frame travels with it.

Trade work gets judged by people who do the same work, so hold the pair up to that eye before it goes out. The browser slider tool does it on your own device in about two seconds, and the guide to fake-looking pairs is built around the mistakes trade pairs make most often.

Honest limitsTwo of them, and both are real

What Makeup Glam will not do

A template tuned to a trade is a palette and a default label, nothing more. It does not know your subject, and it will happily frame a pair that does not match. The two hardest cases in this category are honest ones: hair and makeup change with the light, so a warm salon bulb over the after does most of the work you were hoping the haircut would do, and a pet photographed wet looks like a different animal from a pet photographed dry. Shoot both frames dry, in the same spot, or the post argues with itself.

On this template in particularThe gradient is part of the template rather than a filter over your photographs, so it cannot be turned off or recoloured. If the ground is fighting your subject, the fix is a different template rather than a setting.

Common questions

Who is the Makeup Glam template for?
Deep wine into near-black, a three point gold rule, serif labels, vertical, gently rounded. Bridal and event work is the target: a full face, an evening look, anything photographed under warm light where the frame should feel like the occasion. The vertical canvas takes a head and shoulders with the hair in frame, which matters when the hair was part of the booking.
When should I use something other than Makeup Glam?
Deep red borders push warm skin tones warmer still. If the look is being posted to show a specific foundation match or a colour correction, Makeup Minimal's near-white ground is the only fair frame for it.
Is Makeup Glam free?
No, it is one of the Pro templates. The free tier opens 8 of the 100, and everything else in the editor is free with them: all four comparison modes, Ghost Camera, the filters, the stickers, the full label editor, and your own logo and business name.
What shape is Makeup Glam, and what will it export at?
The template's canvas is 9:16 vertical. The export ratio is a separate choice made in the export sheet: 9:16 and 1:1 on the free tier, plus 4:5 and the original ratio on Pro. 9:16 is among them, so the canvas and the export can match exactly.
Can I change the BEFORE and AFTER wording?
Yes. Makeup Glam starts with "Before" and "After", and every part of that is editable: the text, the typeface, the colour, the size, bold and italic, uppercase, a shadow, the background opacity, and the position, either one of five presets or dragged anywhere on the canvas.
Can I compare two video clips with this?
Not at all. Take a photograph before the job and a photograph after it; that pair is the entire input, and the app turns it into a reveal. Filming the job and cutting it down is a different tool's work.
