✕Common Mistakes
Alles ist perfekt.
Using “ist” changes the meaning to a state of being rather than appearance; “Alles ist perfekt” is correct but not a direct substitute for the visual observation conveyed by “sieht … aus”.
Perfekt sieht alles aus.
The adjective must stay before the separable prefix; “perfekt sieht alles aus” sounds awkward.
Alles aus sieht perfekt.
The verb order is fixed: the finite verb “sieht” stays in second position, the prefix “aus” goes to the end.

Cultural Tip
German speakers often prefer modest, factual statements over overly enthusiastic praise. Saying “Alles sieht perfekt aus” is acceptable, but in a very formal context you might temper it with “sehr gut” or “ganz gut”. Also, remember that the separable prefix “aus” always moves to the end of the clause, a pattern that appears in many German verbs (e.g., “aufstehen”, “mitkommen”).
