Portrait Master: Make-up

"Portrait Master: Make-up" is the smallest specialized node in the pack, and it does exactly one job: dress the face. It takes the makeup out of your Base Character prompt and gives it its own panel - a style, a general color scheme, and six individual elements (eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, blush, lipstick, lip gloss) you can flip on or off.

It's a niche tool, honestly. If you're generating an everyday portrait you'll leave it at - and never notice it's gone. But the moment you want a specific look - a cut-crease eye, a red lip, festival makeup - this node is the cleanest way to say it without typing a prose paragraph, and it chains into the same workflow as the other PM nodes (text_out → next node's text_in → CLIPTextEncode). The style list alone has 22 entries from "Anime Makeup" to "Avant-garde," which is more than you'll ever hand-type.

How it works

Standard pack mechanism - dropdowns and toggles become weighted tag text, lowercased, joined into one text_out STRING. makeup_style emits (style:1.05), and makeup_color emits (color make-up color:1.05) as a general palette anchor. Each element toggle, when on, appends its own (something:1.05) token.

Here's the honest gotcha, straight from the source: the per-element color dropdowns don't actually drive the output. eyeshadow_color, eyeliner_color, and the rest are defined in the UI and read into the function, but the shipped code ignores them - flipping the eyeshadow toggle just picks a random color from the eyeshadow palette and emits (that color eyeshadow:1.05). So if you want a specific shade, don't fight the dropdown: put it in text_in, use makeup_color, or just reroll until you land on something you like. This may be a bug, but it's the current behavior.

The inputs that matter

• makeup_style - the headline control. A single pick like "Cut Crease Makeup" or "Boho Makeup" carries most of the look.
• makeup_color - 61 options, sets the overall palette the model leans toward.
• lipstick + the other five toggles - flip them on to force the element into the prompt. On = it's there (at a random color from that palette); off = it's not.

Everything else is preset plumbing: active turns the whole node off, and load_preset / save_preset_as / save_preset let you store looks as JSON files under presets/Makeup/ - genuinely handy for keeping a signature "red carpet" style across projects.

Installing it

Part of comfyui-portrait-master - one install covers all seven nodes:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/florestefano1975/comfyui-portrait-master

Restart ComfyUI, or search "Portrait Master" (florestefano1975) in ComfyUI Manager. No dependencies or model downloads.

Common issues

• The color you picked isn't showing up. As above - the element color dropdowns are decorative in the current code; the toggle picks randomly from that palette. Work around it via text_in or makeup_color.
• Makeup renders as smeared or clownish. Ease the weight environment - makeup tokens at :1.05 are gentle, but if Base Character's face-detail sliders are cranked, the elements compete. Lower them, or put a little "natural makeup" in the negative prompt.
• Stale values after loading an old workflow. The pack-wide restructure issue - re-set the dropdowns.
• text_in gets lowercased, same as every node in this pack.
