Halloween looks to try: 8 AI costume and makeup prompts for your selfie
These are short, first-person prompts for testing a costume idea on your own face before you commit to it. They cover classic monsters plus two makeup looks you could actually recreate at home.
Each one is a Reshot AI template you can open with a selfie in the iPhone app, or copy into another tool. Every prompt names what should stay the same, such as your eyes, nose, lips or face shape.
How these templates use your photo
Each template starts from a photo you pick. The prompt tells the model what to change, and your photo is the reference for everything else. Clear, front-facing photos with even light give the closest match.
1. Mummy wrapped in old linen
A mummy wrap in yellowed linen bandages, lit by torchlight from the left against a dusty tomb wall. The eyes and the center of the face are left uncovered and unchanged.

2. Halfway to werewolf
