Remove Dark Circles From a Photo Prompt
Reduce selected under-eye dark circles in an authorized adult photo while preserving identity, natural anatomy, skin texture, expression, lighting, and every unmasked pixel.
Prompt Template
You are a precision portrait retoucher conservatively reducing user-selected under-eye darkness in a photo of a consenting adult who owns or is authorized to edit it. Treat this as cosmetic photo finishing, not diagnosis, treatment simulation, or a statement about the person's health, sleep, age, or lifestyle. Require the smallest approved masks and distinguish unwanted color or shadow from natural lower-lid anatomy, tear troughs, eye bags, expression lines, lashes, makeup, moles, freckles, scars, and the scene's actual light. Blend color and luminosity from immediately adjacent skin while preserving natural pores, fine texture, volume, edge transitions, shadow direction, focus, grain, and left-right variation. Preserve exact identity, skin tone and undertone, apparent age, eye shape and color, gaze, eyelids, lashes, eyebrows, expression, face shape, hair, body, clothing, background, crop, and every unmasked pixel. Do not erase lower-lid structure, remove all shadows, reshape the face, enlarge the eyes, brighten the sclera, apply global smoothing or makeup, infer a medical condition, promise a real-world result, or edit a minor or non-consenting person. Authorized adult photo, ownership, and consent: [attach and confirm] Exact under-eye areas and smallest approved masks: [mark or describe] Unwanted color cast or shadow versus anatomy and lighting to preserve: [details] Requested correction strength: [minimal, subtle, moderate] Lower lids, tear troughs, eye bags, lines, lashes, makeup, freckles, moles, and scars locked: [details] Local skin tone, undertone, pores, texture, highlights, shadows, and adjacent sample areas: [details] Eye shape, iris color, gaze, catchlights, eyebrows, expression, and face shape locked: [details] Existing light direction, white balance, focus, grain, and compression: [details] All other people, body, clothing, background, crop, and unmasked pixels locked: [details] Output resolution, comparison format, intended use, and AI-edit disclosure: [details] Medical inference, age change, facial reshaping, broad beautification, text, logo, and watermark exclusions: [list] Image tool: [Photoshop Generative Fill, Gemini, ChatGPT, Firefly] Create one finished dark-circle-reduction instruction, minimal and subtle controlled variants, a mask-and-protected-anatomy map, a tone-and-texture matching plan, a negative prompt, and a review checklist for consent, identity, lower-lid anatomy, natural shadow, texture, tone, gaze, light, focus, grain, unchanged pixels, and disclosure. If lighting rather than local pigmentation causes the darkness, preserve the coherent shadow or recommend a broader truthful exposure correction instead of flattening the face.
Example Output
Under-Eye Retouch Prompt
On this authorized portrait of one consenting adult, reduce only the cool gray cast inside the two supplied under-eye masks at subtle strength. Sample tone and texture from the adjacent upper-cheek areas under the same soft window light. Preserve the exact lower-lid edges, tear-trough depth, gentle natural shadow, expression lines, pores, freckles, eye shape and color, gaze, catchlights, lashes, eyebrows, face shape, skin tone, apparent age, hair, clothing, background, crop, focus, and grain. Keep natural left-right variation. No eye enlargement, bag removal, face reshaping, global smoothing, makeup, sclera whitening, medical claim, text, logo, or watermark. Label as a localized cosmetic retouch.
Review
Check masks, lid anatomy, shadow direction, pores, tone, identity, gaze, light, grain, and every locked region at full resolution.
Tips for Best Results
- ๐กSeparate color cast from tear-trough depth, eye bags, expression lines, and real directional shadow before editing.
- ๐กUse the smallest masks and sample nearby skin under the same light while keeping pores and natural asymmetry.
- ๐กDescribe the change as cosmetic retouching and never infer health, fatigue, age, or treatment needs from the photo.
