How to Use the Occasion Studio
By the Glow Up AI teamLast updated:
Use a quick look when you want a ready-made preset. Use the occasion studio when you have a specific event and want control over makeup, clothing and what stays unchanged. Choosing options and viewing examples do not create a paid image.
1. Choose your occasion
Open the studio from the home page or choose a photo in the occasion gallery. Pick Work & commute, Date & meet-up, Wedding & celebration, Travel & days out, or Party & gathering. Then choose the context and dress code.
For a wedding, select whether it is your own wedding or you are attending as a guest, and choose the dress code before continuing. The tool does not assume a white dress, your gender or a cultural wedding tradition. The example can illustrate a direction, but it is not your result.
You can explore choices without buying an image in the occasion studio. Your own photo is used only when you decide to generate.
2. Add a clear photo and confirm permission
Press Continue to reach Photo. Choose one clear photo of a consenting adult, with the face, hair and neckline visible. Use JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB. On a computer, the phone-upload option can transfer a photo from your phone.
The main canvas shows your selected photo instead of the public example. Check the photo-permission box, then continue. Choosing a file may upload it for safety checks when you are signed in; viewing example pictures does not upload anything. Only areas visible in the photo can be previewed.
3. Set preferences and review the brief
Choose whether makeup stays as photographed, is not added, is subtle or has one stronger focal point. Choose to keep your clothes or indicate a clothing direction. Expand additional preferences for current hair length, texture, styling effort, allowed trim and photo scope.
By default, AI is asked to keep your facial features, natural hair color and length. For no added makeup or unchanged clothing, select those limits explicitly. Open Review the full styling brief to read requested steps, preservation choices and what still needs a real-life check. Changing a choice clears the final confirmation; it never silently starts a new image.
4. Confirm one image and its credit cost
Sign in if needed. If your balance is too low, buy credits and return to the studio. Tick the final plan-confirmation box, then choose Generate this occasion look. Each confirmed image costs 3 credits, including the styling plan based on your selections. Each image requires a separate confirmation. Copying the plan does not use credits.
Your photo and draft are kept in this browser during sign-in or checkout, not automatically synchronized to another device. After returning, review the choices and confirm again. If a request is interrupted, return to the same draft to check its status before starting another image.
Before buying, compare the current packs and optional subscriptions on Pricing. Pack credits and monthly subscription credits have different expiry rules.
5. Review the result, download it and keep the plan
When the image is ready, compare it with the original using the canvas control. Check facial details, framing, hair length and color, clothing, and makeup choices before judging the styling. AI can still change details it was asked to keep.
The saved plan records what this request asked for. It is not an automatic analysis of the finished image or a professional recommendation. Copy the plan, mark any preservation issues and download the image; your dashboard retains the same saved plan even after you choose another occasion.
If the button is disabled or a request fails
A disabled Continue button usually means required wedding information, a photo or photo permission is missing. A disabled Generate button may mean the final confirmation is not checked, a task is still running, or the same completed result is already selected. Sign in or get credits when those actions are shown.
If a generation job fails, the credits charged for that job are returned automatically. For a completed image that will not open or has a visible error, contact support for review under the refund policy. If a connection is interrupted, return to the same request rather than repeatedly starting new ones. If the issue persists, tell support what happened and include the error message or downloaded file name, if available.
For file problems or refund eligibility, read the refund policy before contacting support.
Privacy and the limits of a styling preview
Uploads are retained for 7 days and finished images for 30 days under the current policy. Download anything you want to keep. Deleting an output disables its share link; public sharing is opt-in.
The tool does not diagnose skin, infer gender or body type, verify clothing fit, or promise that a real-life style can be reproduced. The public examples use synthetic adult models. Their outputs were generated by the same image-provider integration; they are not customer testimonials or guarantees.

About this guide
The Glow Up AI team wrote this guide to explain the tools, styling choices and credit costs on this website. Examples are AI-generated. Use the styling notes as a starting point and adapt them to your own hair, products and clothes.
Before you try a look in real life
An AI styling preview is not a skin assessment, diagnosis or guarantee of results. For basic care and product safety, consult these independent resources:
- FDA: Cosmetics Safety Q&A: Personal Care Products
The FDA distinguishes products intended to beautify from products intended to treat disease. A styling image cannot tell you whether a product is suitable for your skin.
- American Academy of Dermatology: Face washing 101
The AAD recommends gentle cleanser, lukewarm water and avoiding scrubbing. Skin concerns belong with a qualified dermatologist, not an AI photo preview.
These references support the care notes above, not Glow Up AI’s image quality or effectiveness. Neither organization endorses this product.
Your occasion, your look.
