Beauty & Makeup — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A candid phone-camera selfie of a 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy dark hair and dewy, flawless skin, wearing an oversized gray hoodie, sitting on her bed in a slightly messy bedroom vanity setup. She’s mid–makeup routine applying cream blush with her fingers while looking near the camera, with skincare bottles and a tinted moisturizer tube arranged neatly on the vanity; soft ring-light glow mixed with morning window light for an authentic TikTok “get ready with me” vibe."

Flux 2 Strengths
- Strong beauty editing workflow: image-to-image tools plus versatile edits for refining makeup placement, skin finish, and lighting without restarting
- LoRA support for consistent beauty aesthetics (e.g., a signature glam look, brand-specific color palette, or repeatable studio lighting) across many images
- Face-swap support for rapidly adapting a makeup look to different talent or keeping a consistent “model” across a series
- Up to 4MP output suitable for most social, creator, and e-commerce placements while keeping per-image costs predictable
- Good fit for iterative creative: style transfer and quick variations for seasonal looks (soft glam, bridal, editorial, K-beauty-inspired) and mood shifts
Nano Banana Pro Strengths
- Industry-leading text rendering for beauty needs like legible labels, compact typography, ingredient callouts, and promo overlays on product shots
- Marketing-grade polish for hero visuals—useful for campaign key art, premium product launches, and high-impact ads
- Multimodal understanding can help when referencing an input image (e.g., matching a specific lipstick shade, liner shape, or packaging style) and generating aligned outputs
- Up to 4K resolution option for detail-forward beauty imagery (skin, lashes, shimmer, packaging textures) when you need maximum clarity
- Straightforward text-to-image generation for clean, on-brief concepts like “dewy skincare routine” or “matte red lip studio close-up”
Verdict
Choose Flux 2 if your beauty workflow is edit-heavy: refining an existing photo, iterating on makeup placement, keeping a consistent look via LoRA, or producing many variations efficiently. Its combination of image editing + LoRA + face-swap makes it especially practical for recurring creator series and brand lookbooks.
Choose Nano Banana Pro if your priority is campaign-ready beauty visuals with reliable text (packaging, shade names, on-image claims) and you occasionally need 4K output. It’s a strong option for polished ads and product-first compositions where typography and premium finish matter most—just note the higher credit cost at 4K.
