AI-powered makeup in Google Meet
What’s happening
Last year, we introduced Touch-up in Google Meet on the web to give users more control over their appearance in video calls. We’ve been working to help everyone better express their personal style on every call, and we’re excited to expand the feature with AI-powered makeup.
Now you can choose from 12 new studio makeup looks, with a range of options from a polished, professional touch to a more expressive flair. Your AI-powered makeup remains seamless and untouched—even through everyday movements like sipping your coffee or touching your face. Below, you can see the feature’s product lead Daniela demonstrate how AI-powered makeup matches her unique features and remains natural-looking when she moves.
