Skin, make-up and wear with a history

Real surfaces carry their history. Write the history, and the model renders the surface.

Skin tells the day [official guidance], wherever a face reads: two or three conditions this person's life and this scene would cause, in a few words. For example:

• sun on the nose and forearms of a driver;

• cold-reddened cheeks and chapped lips at dawn;

• sweat at the hairline after a run;

• a shaving rash.

Keep them fine and natural, never a recipe of random blemishes. "Pores" on its own is a texture word, not a condition.

Make-up as worn [best available, not yet validated]: the product, the hours since it went on, and where it has drifted (lipstick faded at the centre of the lips, liner softened at the outer corner). Fresh make-up and flawless beauty skin are written as the treatment's choices. A big change, such as make-up smudged after crying, is a new state sheet (see Photoreal anchors (Nano Banana Pro) → State sheets).

Wear with a history [proven]:

• one wear sign per garment that fits the person: a stretched collar, a shine on the trouser knee, a heel worn down on one side;

• use traces where hands and feet go: worn paint round a light switch, a ring stain where the mug always stands, a path worn into a rug;

• "brand-new" only as a written choice ("bought for the wedding").

Wear follows the person and the place, never dirt for its own sake.

The client's product is always pristine (decided): no wear and no signs of use, exactly as the client's photos show it.

Where it is written

• In the anchors: the sheets carry the skin, make-up and wardrobe wear; the plates carry the use traces (see Photoreal anchors (Nano Banana Pro) → Skin and make-up tell the day and Photoreal anchors (Nano Banana Pro) → Location plates).

• In the video prompt: the skin conditions, in a few words, in PERFORMANCE. In TEXTURE, the 2–4 materials of this shot that must read with wear (the rest of the block: Video with Seedance → The prompt grammar). A stylised shot leaves surface to its style anchor.

Check skin at full size, beside the identity close-up at the same height.

Why: Higgsfield's own Seedance 2.5 guide writes skin as a condition of a life or a place (windburn, chapped lips), not as a texture setting. PJ Accetturo's breakdowns show creators tying skin to a life or a place the same way (Mork, Kalshi), and Mork's prompts write fabric with its pilling and loose threads.
