Create a beauty editorial portrait.
Subject: a woman shown from the upper arms up, with dark hair pulled back sleek and
flat. Glamorous makeup — softly defined brows, winged liner with heavy lashes, sculpted
bronze contour, high-gloss nude lip, luminous dewy skin. She wears a wide-brimmed cream
felt hat with a soft flexible brim that curves and dips downward at the front, sweeping
low across her forehead and casting a soft shadow over one eye, the brim edge undulating
rather than flat. She also wears a sleeveless white high-necked top, long white satin
opera gloves, and a single large round black earring.
Action: her body angled to her left with the near shoulder forward, head turned toward
the camera in three-quarter view, chin slightly lowered, direct steady gaze into the
lens, lips softly parted. Her gloved right hand is raised to rest lightly against her
cheek and jaw, fingers relaxed and slightly curled.
Setting: a plain pale grey-white studio wall directly behind her, softly graded, no
props.
Visual style: photoreal glossy beauty editorial photography, high-key, monochrome
cream-and-white palette, high skin sheen, crisp micro-detail.
Composition: tight vertical crop from the upper arms up, face in the upper third, the
hat brim crossing the top of the frame, bare shoulder and gloved arm filling the lower
half.
Lighting: soft even key from the front, low contrast, glossy highlights across the
cheekbone, lip, collarbone and shoulder, gentle shadow under the hat brim.
Text inside: none.
Constraints: never render the hat brim flat, stiff, straight or level — it must curve
and dip downward at the front. Never lift the brim clear of the forehead or remove the
shadow it casts. Never lower the raised hand from her face, never crop the gloved hand,
never darken the background or add colour, never flatten the skin sheen.
Output: 3:4 vertical.
