What you will get

A glossy macro beauty shot of an open lipstick bullet in your shade with smooth swatches of several shades across a white surface, soft studio light and luxury ad styling.

Why it works

Swatches turn one product into a catalogue, so the prompt pairs an open lipstick with smears of several shades on white. Macro framing shows the creamy texture, and glossy highlights under soft studio light say luxury. The shade and number blanks set how wide the range looks.

Common mistake

The shades do not match your real products.

Fix: Use this as a mood image only. For a shop listing, photograph your real lipsticks so buyers see the true colours.

Also watch for

Swatches blend into one smear. Ask for separate parallel swatches with a small gap between each.
The bullet shape is melted. Ask for a clean angled tip and sharp edges on the bullet.

Try a variation: show winter shades

Ask for deep berry, plum and wine shades on a dark velvet surface for a winter or party collection.

Keep the swatches. Leave a clear empty space beside each swatch for a shade name, with no text in the picture.
