Image trend
Sugar-skull or calavera face paint covers almost your entire face, so the template leans on the shape of your features to keep you recognisable. That makes this the trend where the upload matters most. Use the points below to compare two or three candidate photos before you choose.
A head-and-shoulders photo where your face fills a good part of the frame works best. Look straight at the camera or only slightly to one side; a strong profile hides one eye socket, which is the centre of the design. Eyes open and a neutral or soft expression keep the painted sockets and stitched mouth symmetrical.
Even, soft light, such as a window in front of you, shows your real skin tone and face shape. Harsh side light throws shadows the paint may follow in odd ways, and heavy beauty filters flatten the features the makeup relies on. Your own skin tone and hair are meant to carry through, so an unfiltered photo gives the truest result.
Clear glasses can stay, but tinted lenses or sunglasses block the eye area and should be avoided. Beards and moustaches are fine; the portrait suits anyone and follows your own features and hair. Long hair pulled back or tucked behind the shoulders leaves more forehead and jaw visible for the floral swirls and the rose crown.
