Eyebrow cleanup

ROLE
Act as a senior professional photo retoucher, image editor, photographer and AI image-editing specialist. Perform a controlled, production-quality edit of the uploaded image. Treat the source image as the ground truth: preserve everything that is not explicitly requested to change.

EDIT
Clean up only the subject's eyebrows by removing or refining visibly stray, isolated or overgrown eyebrow hairs that make the brows appear unintentionally untidy. Preserve the subject's natural eyebrow shape, thickness, density, hair direction, asymmetry and facial identity. The result should look naturally groomed rather than reshaped, heavily styled or artificially perfected.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
Execute the requested "Eyebrow Cleanup" edit convincingly and naturally. The finished eyebrows should appear subtly tidier and better groomed while remaining unmistakably the subject's original eyebrows. Preserve natural hair texture and avoid obvious AI-generation artifacts.

EDITING PRIORITY
1. Remove or refine only genuinely distracting stray or overgrown eyebrow hairs.
2. Preserve the subject's original eyebrow shape, thickness, density and identity.
3. Maintain realistic individual hairs, growth direction and natural asymmetry.
4. Integrate all corrected areas seamlessly with the surrounding skin and facial detail.
5. Prefer subtle grooming over aggressive reshaping or artificial perfection.

EYEBROW CLEANUP — IMPORTANT
- Preserve the fundamental shape and position of each eyebrow.
- Remove only clearly stray, isolated or excessively overgrown hairs that extend unintentionally beyond the established brow shape.
- Retain natural variation in hair length, spacing, thickness and direction.
- Preserve realistic individual eyebrow hairs rather than replacing them with smooth, painted or solid-looking brows.
- Maintain the natural inner brow, arch and outer tail.
- Do not create a new eyebrow arch or substantially alter the existing one.
- Do not significantly thin, thicken, shorten, lengthen, raise or lower either eyebrow.
- Do not make both eyebrows perfectly identical or mirrored.
- Preserve believable natural asymmetry between the left and right eyebrow.
- Maintain realistic transitions at the eyebrow edges; avoid unnaturally sharp, carved or geometric outlines.
- Preserve fine baby hairs and subtle irregularities where they contribute to a realistic appearance.
- If the eyebrows are already naturally tidy, make only minimal corrections rather than forcing a stronger transformation.

HAIR & SKIN INTEGRATION
- Preserve the original eyebrow hair color, tonal variation and texture.
- Match existing hair sharpness, focus, grain and image resolution.
- Maintain realistic hair emergence from the skin and natural follicle appearance where visible.
- Preserve pores, fine facial hairs and surrounding skin texture.
- When removing a stray hair, reconstruct only the tiny underlying skin area necessary and match nearby skin texture, tone and lighting.
- Do not leave blurred patches, repeated texture, smearing or unnaturally smooth skin where hairs were removed.
- Preserve natural shadows cast by dense eyebrow hairs where physically appropriate.

IDENTITY & FACIAL PRESERVATION
- Preserve the subject's recognizable identity exactly.
- Preserve facial geometry: head shape, forehead, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, teeth when visible, ears, jawline, chin, cheek structure and natural asymmetry.
- Preserve the subject's original eyebrow position and overall recognizable brow characteristics.
- Preserve age, ethnicity/skin tone, natural proportions and distinguishing permanent features.
- Preserve realistic pores, fine skin texture, natural highlights and believable facial detail.
- Do not apply an artificial beauty filter, face swap, facial redesign, excessive symmetry correction or plastic skin unless explicitly requested.
- Do not alter hairstyle, eyelashes, eyes, makeup, facial hair, clothing, body, pose, background or camera framing.

STRICT PRESERVATION RULES
- Do not change anything outside the requested eyebrow cleanup unless a tiny correction is absolutely necessary for realistic integration.
- Preserve the original composition, crop, camera position, perspective and aspect ratio.
- Preserve all people who are not explicitly targeted by the edit.
- Preserve facial identity, body proportions, pose, hand position and anatomy.
- Preserve clothing, accessories, jewelry, tattoos, scars, freckles, moles, logos and other distinctive details.
- Preserve background architecture, furniture, objects, text and environmental details.
- Preserve realistic texture in skin, hair, fabric, metal, glass, wood and other materials.
- Do not introduce unrelated props, people, text, logos, decorations or environmental changes.

REALISM & INTEGRATION
- Match the source image's light direction, intensity, softness, color temperature and shadow behavior.
- Match local reflections, ambient light and color spill where relevant.
- Match the original camera perspective, lens characteristics, depth of field, focus falloff and motion blur.
- Match image grain, noise structure, sharpness and compression character so edited eyebrow areas do not look regenerated or artificially sharper than the surrounding face.
- Keep eyebrow and skin boundaries clean but naturally irregular.
- Keep colors within believable photographic ranges.
- Ensure removed hairs leave no visible cloning, smearing, blur or generative reconstruction artifacts.

ANATOMY & GEOMETRY SAFETY
- Preserve correct facial anatomy and proportions.
- Keep both eyebrows correctly positioned relative to the eyes, forehead and nose.
- Do not unintentionally change eyebrow height, spacing, arch position or facial expression.
- Do not warp the eyes, eyelids, forehead, temples, nose bridge or surrounding skin.
- Do not unintentionally alter face shape, perceived age or expression.
- Do not create duplicate hairs, unnatural hair clusters, painted textures or impossible growth patterns.

ARTIFACT PREVENTION
Avoid:
- excessively thin eyebrows
- artificially thick eyebrows
- perfectly mirrored eyebrows
- newly invented eyebrow shapes
- overly sharp or geometric brow edges
- painted-on or makeup-like eyebrows
- solid blocks of eyebrow color
- repeated or cloned hair patterns
- unnatural hair direction
- missing natural brow texture
- blurred or smeared skin around removed hairs
- plastic or over-smoothed skin
- excessive sharpening or HDR
- halos around edited areas
- altered eyes or eyelashes
- altered facial expression
- mismatched color temperature
- distorted facial anatomy
- obvious generative-AI artifacts

QUALITY CONTROL
Before finalizing, inspect the entire image and mentally compare it with the source. Verify that:
- distracting stray or overgrown eyebrow hairs have been subtly cleaned up;
- the subject's original eyebrow shape remains recognizable and unchanged;
- eyebrow thickness, density, color and growth direction remain natural;
- the two eyebrows retain believable natural asymmetry;
- individual hairs remain realistic rather than painted or generated-looking;
- surrounding skin texture remains intact;
- eyes, eyelashes, forehead and facial expression remain unchanged;
- facial identity is fully preserved;
- all untouched areas remain faithful to the original;
- no unintended grooming, makeup or facial changes were introduced;
- the result looks like genuine light eyebrow grooming rather than digital eyebrow redesign;
- the correction remains believable at close inspection.

OUTPUT
Return one polished final image only. Preserve the original aspect ratio and framing unless the requested edit explicitly requires otherwise. Use the highest practical image quality and detail available. Do not add captions, watermarks, borders or explanatory text to the image.
