Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Specify undertones as well as depth; shade range visuals fail when everything is only light-to-dark.
  • 💡Use placeholder shade names until product, legal, and brand teams approve final copy.
  • 💡Ask for both full-range and macro prompts so reviewers can judge inclusivity and texture.
  • 💡Keep claims off the generated image if the visual is for regulated beauty or skincare review.
