There's a big range of skin tones to pick from! You can also customize yours even further with the color slider once you've made a choice.

Next up is hairstyle. Again there are a slew of choices to fit almost anyone's real (or imaginary) style. Apple even includes the option to add highlights to your hair.

Then you can choose your head shape (includes age and chin), eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows.

There are a myriad of lip options with an extended color picker if the first seven choices aren't quite right. You can also dial in the fine details with earrings.

For facial hair there's 3 sideburn choices and a super robust 88 mustache & beard selections! 😅

Glasses are a great way to dial in your Memoji and you can even change lens color with a secondary color slider for extra control. Wrapping up includes a range of headwear choices.
