Make a wish
Star Wishes turns your photo into a Tanabata summer evening, with tall bamboo branches hung with colorful paper wish strips and streamers, a starry sky with the Milky Way and soft lantern light.
Coming in the next update
Star Wishes: bamboo & paper wishes. Star Wishes is Tanabata, the star festival, when wishes written on paper go up on bamboo. Tall bamboo branches hang with colorful paper wish strips and streamers, the Milky Way stretches across a starry sky and soft lantern light falls on you, matched to the scene. The wishes carry no readable writing. Your own outfit, your hair and anything you wear on your head stay exactly as they are: a headscarf, a hat or a bow stays, and none is added. So do your face, skin tone and natural skin texture. It's one of the two looks for Tanabata.
What you get
- Tall bamboo with colorful paper wish strips
- Paper streamers in summer colors
- The Milky Way in a starry sky
- Soft lantern light
