The Prompt
Use [model_reference_image] as the reference for the model’s face, preserving their skin tone, facial structure, and unique identity exactly as shown. The model applies [product_image] using an applicator ([applicator_type]). The [product_image] container—held in the non-applying hand—must display all branding, label text, cap details, and packaging finishes with crystal clarity and preserved exactly as shown in the input.
Capture the product mid-application: [application_moment] (e.g., “dropper with liquid drop mid-air about to touch cheek”) for maximum impact and product efficacy communication.
Camera setup: Beauty close-up at 35° face angle to simultaneously showcase the model’s skin texture AND product delivery. Shallow depth of field with critical focus on the application moment.
Lighting: Dual-source beauty setup—
• Soft key light with high fill ratio: Creates even, flattering skin illumination revealing pore-level detail, natural micro-highlights, and authentic skin texture variation
• Golden backlight: Positioned behind model to create radiant skin glow, rim-lighting on hair/edges, and adding dimensional warmth throughout the composition
Skin rendering: Hyper-realistic with pore-level detail, natural texture variation, authentic skin luminosity, and realistic light interaction. The product application should visually demonstrate efficacy and skin benefits.
Backdrop: Soft, blurred spa-like environment ([backdrop_color_palette]) with draped textures creating gentle bokeh. Ensures model and product remain sharp focal points while maintaining serene, premium aesthetic.
Atmosphere: Graceful, clean, modern glam. Emphasis on product efficacy, skin radiance, and beauty ritual confidence. Communicates skincare luxury and cosmetic performance through aspirational storytelling.
Purpose: Cosmetic advertisements, skincare product launches, beauty influencer content, eCommerce hero sections. High-engagement aspirational imagery for premium beauty brands.
