Beauty & Makeup — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Casual TikTok “get ready with me” selfie video frame: a 22–28-year-old woman with shoulder-length wavy dark brown hair in a loose bun, wearing an oversized gray hoodie and small gold hoops, looking slightly past the phone camera while blending cream blush on her cheek with a damp sponge, dewy skin and glossy lips. She’s in a messy-but-cozy bedroom vanity setup with skincare bottles and a makeup bag neatly arranged on the desk, soft ring-light glow mixed with morning window light, candid mid-application expression like an Instagram story thumbnail."

Grok Imagine Strengths
- High-detail, photorealistic faces ideal for makeup close-ups (complexion, pores, highlight/contour, lip texture)
- Strong creative compositions for editorial beauty concepts (bold color stories, dramatic lighting, stylized looks)
- Reliable image-to-image for iterating on an existing look (adjusting glam level, changing color palette, refining lighting)
- Great for fast concepting and mood boards at a low per-image cost (4 credits per image)
Nano Banana Pro Strengths
- Industry-leading text rendering—useful for legible labels on skincare bottles, compacts, and campaign headlines
- Marketing-grade consistency for ad-style beauty visuals (clean layouts, polished product shots, brand-forward compositions)
- Up to 4K output for crisp ecommerce crops and high-resolution social placements (with 2K and 4K options)
- Multimodal understanding helps when you’re referencing an existing product photo or look and need faithful adaptation
Verdict
Choose Grok Imagine when your priority is photoreal makeup artistry and creative beauty storytelling—think editorial looks, close-up portraits, and rapid iteration via image-to-image at a predictable per-image price.
Choose Nano Banana Pro when you need production-ready beauty creatives with clean, readable packaging text and high-resolution delivery (up to 4K). It’s the better fit for skincare ads, product-centric layouts, and campaigns where typography and label accuracy matter as much as the model’s rendering of skin.
