[Experiment] Prompts for Smoky Eye Makeup | 9 Conditions, 27 Images

Conclusions First

• smoky eye most stably reproduces smoky eye makeup. All 3 images showed dark gray-to-black eyeshadow in a gradient across the entire upper eyelid — typical smoky eye makeup
• dark smoky produces similar intensity to smoky eye with a tendency toward bluish-black eyeshadow
• brown smoky shifts color to brown-to-pink-brown — noticeably darker than control but more subdued than other smoky conditions
• heavy eyeshadow produces heavy eyeshadow but with more of a “applied/painted” texture than the smooth gradient of smoky
• smudged liner increases liner thickness and smearing, but has less impact on eyeshadow area
• dramatic eye produces heavy liner and eyeshadow but less area spread than smoky eye
• smoky cat combines cat-eye liner (flicked tail) with smoky shadow
• minimal smoky shows little difference from control — barely any smoky effect
• Across all conditions, there were almost no side effects on lip color or base skin makeup — makeup keywords tended to act specifically on the eye area

Experiment Design

Base Prompt

A00: control

seed 1	seed 2	seed 3

Observation: All 3 images show natural makeup. Eyeshadow is nearly colorless to very faint pink-beige — eye area shading is within natural skin tone range. Eyeliner is thin and subtle. Lips are coral pink to nude pink. Skin has a dewy, even finish. s3 features a veil-like fabric and black top — seed 3 tends to show clothing variation.

A01: smoky eye

seed 1	seed 2	seed 3

Observation: All 3 images show clearly different smoky eye makeup from the control. s1 has dark brown-to-gray shadow across the entire eyelid in a blended gradient from the lash line toward the brow. s2 has dark gray-to-black eyeshadow covering the entire upper eyelid — classic smoky eye finish with the heaviest concentration at the lash line fading toward the brow bone. s3 also shows spread dark brown shadow (with veil). Lip color is similar to control — minimal side effects on areas beyond the eyes. s1 shows clothing change to black top.

A02: dark smoky

seed 1	seed 2	seed 3

Observation: Eyeshadow intensity equal to or greater than smoky eye. s1 has a wide spread of bluish-dark gray shadow on the upper eyelid with color bleeding under the eye as well. s2 is even more intense — nearly black eyeshadow covering the entire upper eyelid with dark shadowing below. s3 has brownish heavy shadow with the veil turning black. Compared to smoky eye, the shadow color shifts toward bluish-black across all 3 images. Lip color remains nude — no change.

A03: brown smoky

seed 1	seed 2	seed 3

Observation: All 3 shift color toward brown-to-pink-brown. s1 has pink-brown shadow on the eyelid — clearly darker than control but not as dark as A01/A02. s2 also shows brown-toned eyeshadow with a dark brown line at the lash line. s3 has slightly red-toned brown shadow — more muted than control but gentler than other smoky conditions. The “smoky” darkness is more subdued than smoky eye or dark smoky — the main effect is color shift to brown. No side effects on lips or skin.

A04: heavy eyeshadow

seed 1	seed 2	seed 3

Observation: All 3 show a major shift in eyeshadow intensity from control. s1 has dark gray-to-purple shadow across the entire eyelid — close to smoky eye in appearance. s2 also shows heavy dark gray shadow with a thick lash line. s3 shows gray-brown heavy shadow with veil. Compared to smoky eye, the gradient (blending) is less smooth in some images — the shadow boundary is slightly more defined. Lip color remains nude — no change.

A05: smudged liner

seed 1	seed 2	seed 3

Observation: Liner thickness and smearing increase, but eyeshadow area doesn’t spread as much as A01–A04. s1 has a thick dark line at the lash line with slight smearing outward — but not full eyelid coverage. s2 has thick, heavy liner extending toward the outer corner, again with limited shadow area. s3 shows brown-toned thick liner with surrounding smear — denser than control but different from smoky eye. No lip or skin side effects.

A06: dramatic eye

seed 1	seed 2	seed 3

Observation: All 3 show clearly heavier eye makeup than control. s1 has dark brown-to-gray shadow with a defined eyeliner. s2 has thick black liner with a cat-eye-style outer flick, plus dark shadow. s3 also shows heavy liner and shadow. Compared to smoky eye, liner thickness and sharpness are more prominent — less emphasis on blended gradient. “Dramatic” seems to act as a liner emphasis. Lip color remains nude.

A07: smoky cat

seed 1	seed 2	seed 3

Observation: Combines cat-eye liner (outer flick) with smoky shadow. s1 has dark gray shadow plus a sharp outer-corner flick — liner is stronger than A01. s2 clearly shows dark eyeshadow with a thick outer flick — fully works as “smoky cat eye.” s3 also shows brownish shadow with a flicked liner. Compared to A01 (smoky eye), the outer liner angle is sharper across all 3 images. Lip color remains nude. Earrings appear in s2.

Note: smoky cat is notable for combining two effects — smoky blend and cat-eye flick — stably from just two words.

A08: minimal smoky

seed 1	seed 2	seed 3

Observation: Little difference from control. s1 shows a faint pink-brown shadow on the eyelid — no dramatic difference from control s1. s2 also shows only very thin dark brown shadow — clearly less than A01–A04. s3 shows some brown shadow but it’s restrained. minimal appears to counteract the smoky effect, resulting in a near-natural makeup finish. No lip or skin side effects.

Summary

For stable smoky eye output, smoky eye works most straightforwardly. For a darker finish, dark smoky can shift the tone. For a brown-toned result, brown smoky controls the color direction. smoky cat is effective when you want to add cat-eye liner. minimal smoky nearly cancels out the smoky effect — if you want a subtle smoky, brown smoky is more reliable.

Across all conditions, there were almost no confirmed side effects on lip color, base skin makeup, or lighting. Makeup keywords tend to act specifically on the eye area. One exception: seed 3 showed a veil-like fabric appearing across multiple conditions — this appears to be a seed-specific characteristic.

Note: Smoky eye keywords have almost no side effects, with the effect concentrated on the eye area. Unlike goth makeup, they don’t spill over into changing the outfit, making them convenient when only the eyes need enhancing.
