Best prompts for original face

What’s the best prompt to best capture facial features when creating various styles? I always feel like the eye area is captured quite well, but the nose and mouth always look completely foreign…

best prompt is to ask the model for the best model, meta prompting for the win on this one

You just ask to change its style to into what you want (e.g. make this into a cartoon style).
Notice however that if you keep dropping new prompts in the same conversation it might get confused, so for better results you may have to start a new conversation and then ask it again with the desired style.
