Image trend
In October 2025, Mexican outlets including Milenio and TV Azteca published step-by-step guides to making a "foto de Catrina con IA" by pasting a prompt into a chat image tool. Oakgen's Catrina Makeup template replaces the prompt with a fixed portrait, so your only job is choosing the face photo.
The paint has to follow your eyes, nose and mouth, so use a photo where your face is large, sharp and turned toward the camera. Hair pulled back from the forehead gives the floral details more room. Leave out sunglasses, hats and anything covering part of your face.
Add the photo on the Catrina Makeup page and start the portrait. There is no outfit, hat, background or makeup-style selector: every result is a chest-up candlelit portrait with a red rose crown and a candle in your hands. Some guides elsewhere show a wide-brimmed hat or a marigold field; those looks are not part of this template.
The finished 4:5 portrait is saved to your assets, ready for a feed post. Before sharing, check that you still look like yourself under the paint and plan a caption that says the image is AI-made. The caption guide for Día de Muertos portraits covers tone and wording if you are unsure.
