Common Issues
The correction looks unnatural or overdone
Why: AI sometimes over-corrects, making changes too obvious
make the correction more subtle and natural — it should look like a better photo, not an edit
'Subtle and natural' is the most important phrase for appearance fixes
Fix changed my face too much — doesn't look like me
Why: Aggressive edits can alter facial proportions and identity
Be very specific about what to change and explicitly state what to keep
The edit looks obvious in comparison to the original
Why: Strong local edits can create visible transitions with surrounding areas
Good blending is key — AI handles this well with explicit instructions
Lighting changed after the correction
Why: Localized edits can alter the apparent lighting on the face
Mention 'consistent lighting' to ensure the edit doesn't create new artifacts
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my makeup look fine in person but terrible in photos?
Your eyes see faces at a natural resolution and distance. Phone cameras at close range with flash capture and amplify every particle of product, texture line, and pore. It's like zooming in 10x on a painting — the brushstrokes show up even though the full picture looks smooth.
Will fixing the texture remove my makeup look?
No. The AI smooths the camera-amplified texture while preserving your actual makeup — colors, contour, eye makeup all stay. It's like viewing your makeup from a flattering distance instead of an extreme close-up.
What about the white flash cast on my face?
That's SPF flashback — sunscreen ingredients in foundation reflect flash light. Use 'reduce the white cast from flash' to fix the ghostly appearance while restoring natural skin color.
Can this fix patchy foundation?
Yes. Try 'even out the patchy foundation and blend the coverage.' The AI can smooth uneven coverage areas.
