Makeup

Don’t fall into the trap that holiday makeup only has to look one way. It may not carry the avante-garde looks we get from Halloween but there’s still room to try something new. Additionally, this season lets you maximize the shimmer and shine without looking out of place. There are six new Festive Makeup looks that range from a classic red lip to glossy glam with gemstones.

• Go to the Makeup Tab on the Main Menu
• Scroll through the categories and choose the Festive category
• Choose the look you want to use
• Adjust the intensity with the toggle slide bar
• Tap the checkmark to save your edit

Background

If you were dreaming of a white Christmas but climate change has put a pause on that in your area, you can get your fresh powder with this AirBrush Holiday tool. No matter the reason why you may not love your location, you can skip trying to find the ideal backdrop in and around or out of town. Instead, use the Background tool to create your winter escape.

• Go to the Creative Tab on the Main menu.
• Select Background
• Scroll and choose any of AirBrush’s holiday and winter themed backgrounds
• Adjust the scale of the subject by pinching in and expanding out.
• Use featurettes like Blend, Edge, Brightness, Blur or Eraser to perfect your edit.

Filters

This year’s Festive Filters has a bit of something for every person and their specific photographic aesthetic. You can take all the way back to a vintage, film overlay or opt for a brighter filter with built-in grain. The constant remains that these filters work for a variety of photo styles and can turn an average holiday photo into something a bit more special.

Bonus tip: layer up the Filters for further customization.
