Expert guide to achieving an AI glow up

Many individuals have considered personal colour analysis but found the price of professional sessions prohibitive.

However, the era of the AI glow-up has introduced a more accessible alternative. One user decided to put ChatGPT to the test to see if a chatbot could handle the nuances of "cool winter" versus "warm autumn."

The results were described as incredible, pinpointing exact lipstick shades and suggesting hairstyles that actually suit.

While some might wonder if this only works with "perfect" AI images, the reality is different. The author secretly ran the same experiment with an actual, unfiltered face.

The verdict? ChatGPT’s read on the original photo was "just as eerily accurate." The AI’s suggestions for real-life skin tone and features were nearly identical to those generated for the digital likeness.

What prompt to use?

The magic lies in the phrasing of the prompts. For those looking to find their "power colours" or settle hair length debates, specific structures work best:

  • Hairstyle Analysis: Upload a picture and ask to categorise styles into Recommended, Okay, and Less Flattering, including a section for styling tips.
  • Personal Colour Analysis: Prompt the tool to analyse hue, temperature, and value to determine which colours look fabulous or wrong.
  • Makeup Tips: Request a guide covering skin tone, eyeshadow, lipstick, and finishes for textured skin.

For best results, users should upload an image that clearly captures facial features and hair without makeup. It turns out a favourite stylist "doesn't take appointments; it just takes the right prompts."
