How to build the 80s look and mood

Hair: volume is everything. Curls, big bangs and plenty of hairspray. For men, a feathered cut or curly mullet.

Clothes: colorful nylon jackets, acid-wash denim, shoulder pads, off-the-shoulder tops and white sneakers. Mix pink, turquoise, purple and yellow.

Makeup and accessories: blue or pink eyeshadow, bold lipstick, big hoops, bright bracelets and sport sunglasses.

Music and setting: neon palm trees, a retro grid, a boombox, cassette tapes, roller skates and an arcade make the image instantly recognizable.

Mistakes that ruin the result

  • Using a dark, blurry or far-away photo: the AI loses your facial features.
  • Asking for too many things at once: start simple, then adjust.
  • Forgetting to ask the AI to keep your face the same as the original.
  • Posting in horizontal format: vertical 4:5 takes more screen on phones and performs better.
  • Ignoring comments: the first hour is critical for reach.
