'Tis the season to make your photos magical! Whether you're capturing cozy moments by the fireplace or snapping pics at holiday parties, we've got all the tricks to transform your photos into stunning festive masterpieces. Let's unwrap all the amazing features that'll make your holiday photos pop.

Create stunning Christmas looks that'll make your feed sparkle

The holiday season is all about glamor, and we're here to help you shine. Start your transformation journey in the discover feed, where you'll find an endless array of gorgeous makeup looks ready to be applied with a single tap. From subtle shimmer to full-on glam, there's something for every holiday mood and moment.

Want to channel some main character energy? Head to the makeup editor where you can customize every detail of your look. Add a touch of frost to your eyeshadow, perfect that holiday red lip, or give yourself that "just came in from the cold" rosy glow. Mix and match different elements to create a look that's uniquely yours.

Pro tip: Layer different makeup effects to create depth. Start with a natural base, add some shimmer to your cheeks, and finish with a bold lip for that perfect holiday party look.

Christmas sparkles added to photo with Facetune

Transform your everyday shots into magical holiday moments with our AI-powered tools. Looking for that perfect winter wonderland vibe? Head to AI selfies where you can explore presets like arctic that'll give your photos a cool, frosty feel. The seasons preset adds just the right touch of winter magic to any photo.

But here's where it gets really fun – our AI doesn't just stop at filters. Want to try on different holiday personas? Use AI outfits to experiment with different looks. Rock an elf costume for those playful holiday moments, or transform into a holiday icon with a santa costume that looks surprisingly realistic.

Start by playing with bokeh christmas effects – those beautiful blurred lights in the background that instantly create a festive atmosphere. It's like having your own personal photography studio!

The fun doesn't stop there. Explore our collection of twinkly photo effects to add that extra sparkle to your shots. These holiday effects are perfect for creating that magical winter atmosphere, whether you're indoors or out. Try adding some subtle sparkles to your selfies, or go all out with dazzling light effects that'll make your photos shine.

Bokeh effects applied to a photo

Here's a secret tip: head to the Mood section to discover different backdrops that'll transform your setting instantly. Want a cozy fireplace background? Done. Dreaming of a snow-covered landscape? We've got you covered.

The Light FX section is where the real magic happens. Play with different light effects to add that perfect finishing touch to your photos. Try the sparkle effect for a subtle twinkle, or layer multiple effects for a more dramatic look. The possibilities are endless!

Get creative with your combinations:

  • Layer a cool-toned filter with some subtle sparkles for an ice princess vibe
  • Add some bokeh effects to your party photos for that professional photography look
  • Combine a glamorous makeup look with a festive background for the perfect holiday card photo
  • Use light effects to create the illusion of falling snow in your indoor shots

Remember, the key to creating stunning holiday photos is experimentation. Don't be afraid to play around with different combinations of effects until you find your perfect holiday style. Mix and match filters, effects, and backgrounds to create something uniquely yours.
