Use the uploaded photo as the reference. It should be a high-quality, well-lit selfie or waist-up photo without blur. Preserve the person’s face and maintain 100% likeness. Generate a realistic first-person selfie of a young woman, framed in a vertical close-up showing her face, neck, and shoulders, indoors against dark tile.
Makeup: expressive, dark evening glam. Give her an even, tanned complexion with natural skin texture and faint freckles; thick, expressive brows with a natural arch; smoky graphite-brown eyeshadow with a silvery-blue accent on the lower eyelid; very long, fluffy false lashes; and glossy nude-pink lipstick on full lips.
Hair: thick, long hair in large, tousled waves, with a deep side part. A wide lock falls across her forehead and partly covers her left eye; the rest falls in a heavy wave over one shoulder, with a few loose flyaways. Match the hair color to the reference photo.
Expression and pose: playful, mischievous, and bold. Her eyes roll upward and to the side, showing the whites; her mouth is slightly open, with the tip of her tongue touching her lower lip. Her head is tipped back and turned to the side. One hand is raised to her face, with the index finger touching her lower lip and the other fingers curled; her elbow is lowered and her shoulders are relaxed.
Clothing: a fitted black long-sleeved top with a crew neckline. Accessories: a thin silver chain with a small horseshoe pendant and an ear cuff. Manicure: long, glossy, deep chocolate nails—almost black cherry—in a ballerina shape.
Background: dark gray-graphite tile with a marble pattern. On the right, include a vertical decorative panel with a black and dark-gold ornament; keep the edges in deep shadow.
Lighting and framing: subdued lighting with moderate cinematic contrast and a dim overall exposure. Shoot from chest level, slightly upward, in a vertical composition with a slight tilted angle. Use a close-up smartphone-camera look, simulating a 26 mm lens, f/1.8, ISO 400–640, shutter speed 1/60 s, soft focus, and shallow depth of field. Set exposure to −0.3 EV, contrast to −10, saturation to −8, and temperature to −4. Keep shadows cool gray and highlights slightly warm.
Mood and finish: dark, bold, and playful, with the spontaneous aesthetic of an Instagram Stories snapshot. Aim for the image quality of an iPhone 17. Add 10–15% motion effect as barely noticeable natural camera-motion blur and slightly softened edges, without blurring the eyes. Add 8–12% soft bloom, with delicate light diffusion on skin and hair and no blown highlights or artificial glow. Add 12–18% fine, even film grain and a subtle analog texture while preserving natural skin detail. Use a Moody Film / Soft Vintage / Dark Neutral preset: muted colors, soft contrast, cool gray shadows, natural skin tone, a slight matte finish, and the feel of an unretouched morning selfie without excessive processing.
