How to Create Makeup Tutorial Images at imgresizr.com
Upload your makeup tutorial photos to imgresizr.com. For a before-and-after tutorial, use the Collage tool to create a side-by-side layout — bare skin on the left, finished makeup look on the right. Ensure both photos are taken in identical lighting conditions for a valid comparison. Use the Enhance tool to ensure skin tones are accurate and flattering. For step-by-step tutorials, use the Collage tool to arrange numbered step photos in a grid — 4-step (2×2) or 6-step (2×3) grids are most common. Use the Caption tool to add step numbers and brief instructions. For Pinterest pins, create a vertical 2:3 format with the finished look at the top and steps arranged below. Add the product names used at the bottom for shoppable content.
Makeup Tutorial Content Tips
- Good lighting is non-negotiable — natural daylight or a ring light ensures accurate colour representation
- Show close-ups of key techniques — liner application, blending, highlight placement
- Tag all products used in the caption — affiliate links from product tags can monetise tutorial content
- Create tutorials for different occasions — everyday, office, evening, festival, and seasonal looks
- Include a "products used" graphic at the end of the post — flat lay of all products used in the tutorial
