Have you ever bought a lipstick because it looked absolutely gorgeous on someone else, only to put it on and wonder what went wrong?
Or fallen in love with an eyeshadow palette that somehow makes you look tired, washed out or like you’ve been crying in the stationery cupboard?
Yep. Been there.
The problem isn’t necessarily the makeup. It might simply be the colour.
Just as some clothing colours naturally brighten your complexion, certain makeup shades can make your skin look healthier, your eyes more vibrant and your whole face more harmonious. The right blush can bring your complexion to life. The right lipstick can make your features pop. And the right eyeshadow can make your eye colour look significantly more striking.
The trick is knowing which shades actually work with your colouring.
That’s where this AI Makeup Colour Analysis comes in.
Using the results from your Personal Colour Analysis, this prompt takes your natural colouring, undertone, eye colour, hair colour and contrast level and uses them to create a personalised makeup guide.
Instead of buying another lipstick that lives permanently at the bottom of your handbag, you’ll get recommendations for the makeup colours most likely to complement you — from your foundation undertone and blush shades to your best eyeshadows and lip colours.
With this AI Makeup Colour Analysis, you’ll discover:
- Your best foundation undertone
- Your most flattering blush colours
- Your best eyeshadow shades and palette
- Your most flattering lip colours
- Makeup colours that may be less harmonious with your colouring
- Your signature makeup look
The goal isn’t to give you a list of makeup rules you must follow forever. It’s to help you understand why certain shades work better for you, so you can shop more confidently, experiment with colour and hopefully stop collecting makeup that looked much better in the shop.
Get started:
Before begining, it is recommended that you read the photo guide. Then follow the instructions below. Everything in green should be pasted into ChatGPT* along with the recommended photos.
Copy/paste the prompt in green below into ChatGPT and upload your front-facing selfie (1).
You are a professional celebrity makeup artist, colour analyst, beauty consultant and cosmetic educator. Using the colour season you identified me as and the same design criteria, create a beautiful report image titled: “Your Makeup Analysis” using the same style instructions and verifications.
Include:

- My makeup profile
- My best makeup effect
Create organised sections for:
- Foundation & Base
- Blush – Best Shades
- Eyeshadow – Best Palette
- Lips – Best Shades
- Makeup Colours To Avoid
Use shade recommendations based on my actual skin tone, undertone, eye colour, hair colour, contrast level, and overall colouring. Include realistic makeup swatches and small product-style visuals where helpful.

*AI prompt makeup colour analysis FAQ
Which AI Should I Use?
These prompts have been specifically designed and extensively tested for ChatGPT. You are welcome to experiment with other AI platforms if you wish, but results may vary significantly. Because every AI model interprets prompts differently, I cannot guarantee the same level of quality or accuracy outside of ChatGPT.
What if I only have the free version of ChatGPT?
If you’re using the free version of ChatGPT, you may reach your daily usage limit before completing every prompt in the personal style system, and that’s completely okay. Simply start a new chat when you’re able and upload your photograph again before continuing with the next prompt. Please note that free ChatGPT accounts may only allow approximately 2–3 image analyses or reports per day, depending on OpenAI’s current usage limits. These limits may change over time and are outside of my control.
How does my colour season affect my makeup?
Your seasonal colour palette can influence which makeup shades look most harmonious with your natural colouring. The right blush, lipstick and eyeshadow can enhance your complexion, while colours that are too warm, cool, bright or muted can sometimes make your skin look dull or overpower your features. Your Makeup Colour Analysis uses your colour season alongside your skin tone, eye colour, hair colour and contrast level to recommend shades that work with your individual colouring.
Will the makeup analysis tell me which foundation shade to buy?
The analysis can help you understand your foundation undertone and overall base direction, which is useful when narrowing down foundation options. It can also recommend complementary blush, eyeshadow and lip colours. However, foundation matching is particularly difficult to determine accurately from a photograph because cameras, lighting and screens can alter how skin colour appears. Use the recommendation as a guide and always test a foundation against your skin in natural light before purchasing.
What makeup colours should I avoid?
There aren’t really any makeup colours you are forbidden from wearing. Your analysis identifies shades that are likely to be less harmonious with your natural colouring — for example, colours that may make your complexion look washed out, overly red, dull or disconnected from the rest of your features. The goal isn’t to create a list of beauty rules. It’s to help you understand which shades are likely to make you look fresh, balanced and radiant, so you can shop with more confidence and stop accumulating makeup that never quite works. Once you know your best makeup colours, you can also use your results alongside your AI Hair Colour Analysis to create a more cohesive overall beauty look.
What are the six Personal Style prompts?
The Personal Style System includes six personalised AI analyses:
- AI Personal Colour Analysis — Discover your 12-season colour palette, undertone, best neutrals, metals, patterns and colours to avoid.
- AI Makeup Colour Analysis — Find the makeup shades that complement your colouring, including foundation, blush, eyeshadow and lipstick.
- AI Hair Colour Analysis — Discover your most flattering hair colour direction, highlights, dimension and shades to avoid.
- AI Face Shape Analysis — Understand your facial proportions and discover flattering hairstyles, makeup placement, glasses, earrings and necklines.
- AI Body Shape Analysis — Learn which silhouettes, fabrics, prints and colour combinations create balance and proportion for your body.
- AI Personal Style Identity — Bring everything together to create your signature aesthetic, outfit formulas, shopping priorities and wardrobe direction.
Which Personal Style prompt should I do first?
I recommend starting with this prompt first: AI Personal Colour Analysis. Colour analysis provides useful information for several of the later prompts, particularly your makeup, hair and colour style recommendations. For the best results, follow the system in this order: Colour → Makeup → Hair → Colour Style → Face Shape → Body Shape → Personal Style Identity. You don’t have to complete them all at once. You can work through them at your own pace.
