The morphological appearance of massive stars during their evolution and at the pre-SN stage is very uncertain, both from theoretical and observational perspectives. We recently developed coupled stellar evolution and atmospheric modeling of stars done with the Geneva and CMFGEN codes, for initial masses between 9 and 120 M⊙. We are able to predict the observables such as the high-resolution spectrum and broadband photometry. Here I discuss how the spectrum of a massive star changes across its evolution and before death. Our models allow, for the first time, direct comparison between predictions from stellar evolution models and observations of SN progenitors.
