How to Make an AI Doll Skincare Ad With Natural Product Placement

Six seconds into this skincare ad, a doll holds a dropper over her palm. While you wait for the serum to fall, you can read the bottle beside her hand. Then she puts both palms to her cheeks. That’s a natural place to feature a product in a UGC-style video: the label is in view, and the routine carries on. Watch the 20-second skincare ad
You can make the same sequence with one character portrait in DomoAI. The example goes from a bare face to cleanser, serum and moisturizer, then finishes with blush and lipstick.
What You Need
- A character portrait. Use the doll in the example, your own illustrated character or a realistic adult avatar. Choose a portrait with visible cheeks and enough room around the shoulders to show both hands.
- A product photo if you’re featuring real packaging. Photograph the front at counter height, with the cap or pump attached and the label in focus. The example uses “InkoAI” as a fictional label. You can substitute your own.
- DomoAI Omni Reference. Use Seedance 2.5 for the video. If you’re making a vertical Reel, choose 9:16 before generating.
1. Start With the Bare-Faced Character

The portrait sets the starting point for the makeup reveal. If the cheeks are already pink or the lips are already glossy, the brush and lipstick have little visible work to do. Use soft light, keep the hair clear of the cheeks and include at least one wrist so the reference shows how you want the doll’s hands to look.
If you already have a character you like, go straight to the shot plan. To create the platinum-haired doll, use this portrait prompt in AI Image Editing.
Waist-up portrait of a stylized adult female doll with soft satin resin skin, long center-parted platinum hair and a sage-green cotton T-shirt. Bare face with pale natural brows, clean eyelids and untinted lips. Her hair falls behind her shoulders. One relaxed hand rests against her shirt, showing five fingers and a smooth wrist without visible toy joints. Warm ivory background, soft window light, vertical portrait.
2. Choose the Moment for Your Product
Pick the item viewers should remember. For a cleanser, open on the pump as foam builds in the palm. For a serum, give the dropper and open bottle the closest shot. For a moisturizer, show the cream holding its shape as a fingertip lifts it from the jar. Choose the action that suits your actual packaging. A tube needs a squeeze, a pump needs a press, and a dropper needs an open bottle.
Here’s how to fit those moments into a 20-second edit. The times are targets you can adjust when you cut the video.
| Time | Shot | Framing and cut |
|---|---|---|
| 0–2s | Dispense cleanser | Start at pump height with one palm already beneath the nozzle. Cut once the foam lands. |
| 2–6s | Wash and towel dry | Widen to show both cheeks and wrists. Cut from the lather to a white towel patting a clean face to skip the rinse. |
| 6–10s | Dispense and press in serum | Place the bottle beside the receiving palm. Follow the drop, then cut to both hands pressing the cheeks. |
| 10–13s | Apply moisturizer | Leave the open jar on the counter. Start with cream on the fingertips so the shot has time for one upward sweep. |
| 13–17s | Add blush and lipstick | Cut closer as the brush touches one cheek. Move to the lower lip for a single pass of color. |
| 17–20s | Reveal the finished look | Return to the wider vanity shot. Keep the products where the character has been using them as she turns toward the light. |
3. Generate the Routine in Omni Reference
Upload the portrait as Image 1. If you have a product photo, upload it as Image 2. Select Seedance 2.5, set the duration to 20 seconds, and choose your aspect ratio. Open Omni Reference
Copy the full prompt below to recreate the example with the doll portrait as Image 1. To use your own packaging, replace every instance of “InkoAI” with your brand name. If you uploaded a product photo, add a line identifying the item it controls, such as Use Image 2 for the serum bottle, including its shape, dropper cap and front label.

She begins completely bare-faced, performs skincare with BOTH hands, then applies makeup and reveals the finished look. WB 5200K. MULTISHOT.
LOCATION — A warm ivory bathroom with a pale stone vanity, ceramic basin, mirror, and soft window light from camera-left. The InkoAI products stand within easy reach. A makeup brush and a lipstick rest on a small tray. Her long hair stays behind her shoulders, away from her face. No bangs, headband, scarf, or hair accessories.
ACTION — Complete a 20-second morning routine. Use crisp cuts to skip preparation and elapsed rinsing time. Physical gestures remain at natural speed. Make the progression unmistakable: dispense into palm → put the container down → distribute between both hands → apply with both hands → makeup → final reveal.
SHOT 1 (0:00–0:02) — CLEANSER INTO PALM.
Close-up of the InkoAI cleanser standing securely on the vanity, label facing the camera. Her left palm is cupped beneath the nozzle. Her right hand presses the pump once, dispensing a small mound of foam into her left palm. The bottle stays on the counter. Crisp pump sound. Hard cut.
SHOT 2 (0:02–0:05) — TWO-HANDED CLEANSING.
Medium facial close-up with both hands visible. She briefly rubs her palms together to distribute the foam, then brings BOTH hands to her face. Her left fingertips massage her left cheek while her right fingertips massage her right cheek in small coordinated circles. Foam spreads through visible contact. Soft rubbing sounds. Hard cut.
SHOT 3 (0:05–0:06.5) — CLEAN FACE.
After a clear time jump past rinsing, her face is free of foam. She holds a soft white towel with both hands, gently pats the lower cheeks, and lowers it. Her face remains bare, with the same natural skin tone and texture. Soft towel sound. Hard cut.
SHOT 4 (0:06.5–0:08) — SERUM INTO PALM.
Close-up of her hands above the vanity. The open InkoAI serum bottle stands upright. Her right hand holds its pipette over her cupped left palm and releases a small amount of clear serum into it. The liquid lands visibly in the palm, never directly on her face. Hard cut.
SHOT 5 (0:08–0:10.5) — TWO-HANDED SERUM PRESS.
The pipette is now returned to its bottle on the vanity. Both hands are free. She lightly rubs her palms together, then presses BOTH palms against her cheeks simultaneously. Her fingers point upward beside her temples. She gently releases and makes one soft outward smoothing movement. No bottle is held during application. Quiet skin-contact sounds. Hard cut.
SHOT 6 (0:10.5–0:13) — TWO-HANDED MOISTURIZING.
The open InkoAI moisturizer jar rests on the vanity. A small fresh dab of cream, taken from the jar between shots, sits in her palm. She spreads it between both hands and smooths it over both cheeks in a coordinated upward movement. Her hands briefly cradle her face before lowering. Keep only a delicate satin finish, without changing skin color or facial structure. Hard cut.
SHOT 7 (0:13–0:15) — MAKEUP BEGINS.
Three-quarter facial close-up. She looks toward the mirror and makes one light sweep across a cheek with a soft makeup brush. A subtle warm-rose blush appears where the brush passes. This is the first visible makeup application. Fine brush-sweep sound. Hard cut.
SHOT 8 (0:15–0:17) — LIP COLOR.
Tight portrait close-up. She makes one controlled pass of muted rose lipstick across her lower lip, then gently presses her lips together. After the editorial time jump, her makeup is softly finished: delicate brown eyeliner, understated lashes, warm blush, and muted rose lips. Preserve the same eyes, nose, lips, and facial proportions. Hard cut.
SHOT 9 (0:17–0:20) — FINISHED LOOK + INKOAI.
Medium portrait. The closed InkoAI cleanser, serum, and moisturizer are neatly arranged on the vanity with labels facing forward. She places the lipstick on the tray, turns her face slightly toward the light, then looks into the camera with a small confident smile. Her platinum hair and green T-shirt remain unchanged. Finish with a restrained push-in, keeping her finished makeup and the product lineup visible together.
CAMERA — SHOT 1: Locked detail at pump height.
SHOT 2: Eye-level medium close-up wide enough to show both palms and cheeks.
SHOT 3: Matching camera axis for a clean rinse-time transition.
SHOT 4: Slight overhead close-up showing the serum entering her palm.
SHOTS 5–6: Eye-level medium close-ups; both hands fully visible throughout application.
SHOT 7: Gentle three-quarter portrait focused on brush contact.
SHOT 8: Tight portrait focused on lip application.
SHOT 9: Eye-level medium shot with a subtle push-in.
No whip pans, distracting camera moves, or hand-obscuring crops.
STYLE — Dominant warm ivory 60% / Secondary sage green 30% / Accent cool platinum 10%. WB 5200K. Soft side-window illumination, restrained packaging reflections, tactile doll skin, and a fresh morning atmosphere.
CONSTRAINTS — Exactly 20 seconds. 9:16 vertical. Nine concise shots. No slow motion or speed ramps. Preserve the character's identity, anatomy, body proportions, hair, clothing, and environment.
Every skincare application must use BOTH hands. Containers remain on the vanity during application. Show cleanser and serum entering the palm before use. No serum dropped directly onto the cheek. No one-handed skincare while holding a bottle. Makeup tools may be used with one hand.
Keep her completely bare-faced until 0:13. Introduce makeup only through the makeup sequence. The final change comes from visible cosmetics, not altered facial anatomy, skin whitening, or an instant skincare effect.
Hands have five natural fingers, continuous wrists, and no toy joints, seams, or hinges. No extra hands, merged fingers, facial penetration, floating props, or disappearing objects within a shot.
Keep product scale and packaging consistent, with the exact brand spelling “InkoAI.” No invented claims, extra logos, subtitles, captions, or generated end-card text. No eye glow.4. Fix a Shot Without Starting Over
Watch the first cut at phone size. Pay attention to the moment between dispensing and applying. If the doll is still holding the dropper when both hands reach her face, regenerate the application shot alone. Reuse the portrait and describe the opening frame with the dropper already on the counter.
Eye-level medium close-up of the character from Image 1 at the same ivory vanity, lit from the left. The capped serum bottle stands at the lower left of the frame. Her palms already have a little serum on them. Both hands rise into view, press gently against her cheeks, then lower. Keep both wrists visible. The camera stays still.
Trim the new clip to the cheek press and insert it after the drop lands. That cut also works if you want a slower product close-up: hold long enough to see the liquid leave the pipette, then pick up the routine on the next movement.
Before exporting, check three details:
- Label. Play the product shot once at normal speed. If your palm hides the name, shift the bottle sideways. Check the spelling against the pack photo.
- Hands. Scrub through the instant the fingertips touch the skin. If fingers merge at contact, widen the frame and give each hand one cheek.
- Makeup. Compare the towel shot with the brush shot. The first visible cheek color should arrive with the brush. Keep the final shot long enough to see the finished look.
To use a different character, replace Image 1 and keep the sequence. For a cleanser-only ad, keep the pump, lather and towel shots, then finish on the clean face with the bottle beside the sink.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different character with the same routine?
Yes. Upload the new portrait as Image 1 and change the descriptions of the doll’s hair, outfit, skin material and proportions wherever they appear in the prompt. Keep the shot timings and hand movements.
How do I feature just one product from my brand?
For a serum ad, assign Image 2 to the serum bottle and describe the cleanser and moisturizer as plain supporting props. In the last shot, leave the serum beside the mirror. Viewers will recognize the bottle from the dropper close-up.
What if my product comes in a tube instead of a pump?
Replace the pump action with a squeeze. Start with the cap open and the nozzle over the palm. Cut once the gel lands, then begin the application shot with the tube resting on the counter and both hands free.
Can I skip the makeup reveal?
Yes. After the moisturizer, cut to the doll lowering her hands and turning toward the window. End there for a shorter skincare-only ad, or use the remaining time for a closer shot of the product texture.
How can I keep the label visible in a vertical Reel?
Choose 9:16 before generating and preview the export on a phone. In the serum shot, leave space between the bottle and the outer edge of the frame. If a crop clips the name, regenerate that close-up with the bottle closer to the palm.
