Prompts

Double-exposure studio beauty portrait

Double-exposure studio beauty portrait

A high-end beauty-campaign portrait with the subject’s own face faded in behind her. It needs a reference photo — the prompt ends by demanding the face match one. Copy it whole.

The same prompt run again: same pose and dress, but the blush is far lighter, the lips are nearly matte, there are no ear cuffs, and the overlaid face pulls back to head and shoulders
Second run, nothing changed in the text.

Holds across runs: the composition, exactly — subject on the left looking back over her bare left shoulder, black backless halter dress, and the huge faded close-up of the same face filling the right half. The hair is reliable too: jet-black, high voluminous top knot, see-through air bangs, thin strands left loose down both sides. Glass skin, light-hazel glassy eyes, the tiny mole under the left eye, and a flat greyish-white studio field with no shadow anywhere. Both runs also drop a small four-point sparkle glyph in the bottom right corner, which the prompt never asks for.

Varies: how much makeup you get. The first run takes “bright peach-pink blush heavily blended” literally — wide orange cheeks, wet-look coral lips. The second reads the same line as a suggestion and comes back almost bare. The ear cuffs are the interesting one: they are named only under Technical Quality, as something to keep sharp, never as something to wear — so the first run put a stack of silver rings on the ear and the second put nothing. The overlay’s crop moves as well, face-only against head-and-shoulders. And the three sentences spent on the bust only show up in the first run; the second turns the body further away and the instruction has nowhere to land.

Ignored: 9:16 aspect ratio. Both came back 3:4. Aspect ratio buried in a style line at the end of two thousand characters is a hint, not a setting — set it wherever the tool actually takes it.

I write two things here: notes from a homelab that mostly runs Proxmox, and essays in Vietnamese about a country I left. The technical posts are whatever broke that week, written down so it costs you less time than it cost me.
