Prompt

Create a personal colour analysis sheet for the person in image 1, styled like a beauty magazine supplement on warm ivory paper. Keep the face exactly as in image 1: same features, skin tone and hair, no retouching that changes them. First judge the undertone and contrast from the photo. Layout: top left, the portrait with a small undertone scale (cool, neutral, warm) and a marker on her reading; centre, a 2x3 grid of the same face, each wearing a different colour scarf near the face: terracotta, mustard, olive, cobalt, fuchsia and charcoal; right, her best palette as 12 swatches and 6 colours to avoid; bottom, three short tips for makeup, hair colour and jewellery metals. Clean serif headers, small uppercase labels, crisp readable text.

  1. First judge the undertone and contrast from the photo makes the model work out the details first, so you only type the topic.
  2. Keep the face exactly as in image 1: same features, skin tone and hair is the line that keeps your photo recognisable. Leave it in, whatever else you change.
  3. Asking for a 2x3 grid of the same face gets several panels in one picture. Describe each panel in order.
  4. This is a fill-in template: swap the parts in braces, like {colors}, in the boxes above and keep the rest word for word.

Photo edit prompt guide

Which photos work for this edit

A personal colour analysis sheet for the person in your photo, laid out like a magazine supplement on warm ivory paper. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst reads the undertone and contrast first, then places a portrait, a six-scarf grid and a 12-swatch palette in named zones. It works because the face is locked to the input picture and the layout is spelled out, so the model has fixed slots to fill.

This edit needs one clear, front-facing photo of an adult, with the face evenly lit and not cropped. The model copies the face from the input, so the quality of the photo matters more than the wording.

Works: a front-facing portrait in even daylight
Shows the true skin undertone and contrast, which is what the analysis reads. Harsh coloured light or a warm lamp can make the model judge the wrong undertone.
Works: a plain or neutral background with the face unobstructed
Keeps the portrait clear of clutter so the model can keep the face as it is in the photo. Hair pulled back also shows the jaw and where a scarf would sit.
Avoid: heavy filters, beauty retouching or skin smoothing already applied
The prompt asks to keep skin tone and features exactly, so pre-edited skin gives the model a false baseline. The analysis then reads the filter, not the person.
Avoid: sunglasses, masks or a face turned away from the camera
Hidden features and a turned head make it hard to keep the same face across six scarf versions. The grid may then show a different-looking person.

What each instruction does

  1. Sheet type and styleCreate a personal colour analysis sheet for the person in image 1, styled like a beauty magazine supplement on warm ivory paper

    Sets the job as one analysis sheet for the photo in image 1 and gives it the magazine supplement look on ivory paper. Remove the style phrase and the result often drifts toward a plain chart with no editorial feel.

  2. Face identity lockKeep the face exactly as in image 1: same features, skin tone and hair, no retouching that changes them

    Tells the model to keep the same features, skin tone and hair, and to avoid retouching. Without it, the portrait can drift into a different person or a smoother, beautified version, which defeats the point of a colour test.

  3. Undertone judgement firstFirst judge the undertone and contrast from the photo

    Asks for the undertone and contrast to be read from the photo before any colours are chosen. If you delete it, the palette and scarves are picked by guesswork, so the best swatches may not suit the skin.

  4. Six-scarf comparison gridcentre, a 2x3 grid of the same face, each wearing a different colour scarf near the face: terracotta, mustard, olive, cobalt, fuchsia and charcoal

    Places the same face in six scarf colours so the reader can see which hues flatter it. Removing 'near the face' lets the scarf drift away, and the colour stops reaching the skin.

  5. Palette and tips panelsright, her best palette as 12 swatches and 6 colours to avoid; bottom, three short tips for makeup, hair colour and jewellery metals

    Asks for 12 best-palette swatches, 6 colours to avoid, and three short tips in the bottom row. Each number sets a count the model must match, so changing 12 or 6 changes the size of the swatch panel and the avoid list.

Other edits in the same pattern

Lookbook on cool grey

Swaps the paper, the scarf set and the tips topic for a cooler, lighter look, for a reader who wants a softer editorial page.

Prompt

Create a personal colour analysis sheet for the person in image 1, styled like a lookbook page on cool grey paper. Keep the face exactly as in image 1, with no retouching. First judge the undertone and contrast from the photo. Layout: top left, the portrait with an undertone scale and a marker; centre, a 2x3 grid of the same face in six pastel scarves near the face; right, her best palette as 12 swatches; bottom, three short tips for hair colour and eyewear frames. Clean sans-serif headers, crisp readable text.

Seasonal spring guide

Changes the target from a full colour analysis to a seasonal guide with spring scarves, for when you only need the season and a palette.

Prompt

Create a seasonal colour guide for the person in image 1, styled like a beauty magazine spread on pale cream paper. Keep the face exactly as in image 1, with no retouching. First judge the undertone and contrast from the photo. Layout: centre, a 2x3 grid of the same face wearing six warm spring scarves near the face; right, her best palette as 12 swatches; bottom, three short tips for makeup, hair colour and jewellery metals. Clean serif headers, small uppercase labels, crisp readable text.

Jewellery metals sheet

Points the grid at metals instead of scarves, for a jewellery brand style sheet that still starts from the undertone reading.

Prompt

Create a personal colour analysis sheet for the person in image 1, styled like a jewellery catalogue page on soft white paper. Keep the face exactly as in image 1, with no retouching. First judge the undertone and contrast from the photo. Layout: top left, the portrait with a small undertone scale and a marker; centre, a 2x3 grid of the same face wearing six jewellery metals near the face; right, her best palette as 12 swatches; bottom, three short tips for earrings, necklaces and rings.

Model and settings

Keep the 3:4 ratio, since the sheet is taller than it is wide, with a portrait on the left and a palette panel on the right. Keep the 1k resolution and high quality for crisp swatch edges and small labels, and consider a higher setting only if the text looks soft. The mode is an edit of one input picture, so attach the single portrait and leave the rest as it is. For a landscape poster, change the ratio first and then check that the scarf grid still fits.

  • Nano Banana ProPick it when the headers, labels and swatch captions matter more than the photo, because its layout-first planning suits this three-zone sheet with dense small text.
  • FLUX.2 ProPick it when the 12 best swatches and 6 avoid colours must match exact shades, since its hex colour control can pin each swatch to a set value.

When the edit misses

The face shifts away from the input photo, so the grid shows a different person.
Keep the sentence 'Keep the face exactly as in image 1: same features, skin tone and hair' word for word, and use a clear, front-facing input picture.
The portrait is smoothed or re-lit, so the undertone the sheet reports no longer matches the real skin.
Keep 'no retouching that changes them' in the prompt and use an input photo that has not already been filtered.
The scarf grid shows the scarves away from the face, or the same scarf colour repeats.
Keep 'near the face' after 'a different colour scarf', and add 'one colour per frame' so each of the six panels gets a single named colour.
The sheet comes out square or landscape, which cuts off the palette panel and the bottom tips.
Set the ratio to 3:4 before generating, since the top left portrait, the centre grid and the right panel need a tall frame.

Questions about this edit prompt

Can I use a selfie for a personal colour analysis sheet?

Yes, if the face is clear, front-facing and in even daylight. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst needs the undertone to be visible in the photo, and a strong filter or heavy shadow across the cheeks will push the undertone reading off.

Why does the prompt ask for six scarf colours instead of picking one?

The six colours are terracotta, mustard, olive, cobalt, fuchsia and charcoal, so the reader can compare how each hue sits against the same face. One colour would show a single result and hide which hues suit the skin, which is the point of the grid.

Can I change the swatch and avoid colours to match my own palette?

Yes, but keep the same sentence order and count. Replacing the six scarf names or the 12 swatches with your own shades works, while the face-lock sentence should stay word for word so the portrait does not change.
