Use the face from my reference photo (${face-reference}) and preserve her likeness and recognizability 100%. Do not change the shape of her face, nose, eyebrows, or lips; the shape or color of her eyes; or her facial and body proportions.

Create a close-up vertical selfie taken with the front-facing camera of an older iPhone, around the iPhone 11 or 12 generation. The phone itself must not be visible. The young woman takes the photo from close range, with the camera angled down from above. The image is captured in very dim, subdued light, with the digital grain, slight motion blur, and imperfect focus characteristic of a nighttime selfie.

The mood is an intimate, casual at-home nighttime selfie for social media, with a spontaneous, casually charming, slightly mysterious feel. Immerse the entire scene in deep half-darkness. The only light source is weak, diffused screen light, strongly tinted cool pink-purple, lilac, and neon. Apply a vintage Instagram-style filter: lower the contrast and keep the shadows deep but matte and slightly faded, with purple and bluish tones. Let the soft light define the contours of her face while leaving the background completely dark.

Her hair is long, loose, straight, and smooth, falling casually across her face and shoulders. Strands cover part of her forehead and one eye, creating a shaggy, naturally tousled look. She looks directly into the lens with an intimate gaze and a subtly flirtatious expression. Her mouth is slightly open.

She holds her right hand near her face, delicately touching her lower lip with her index finger and slightly biting or pressing the finger against it. Give her a bedroom-eye makeup look: dark eyeliner, full lashes, and shaped eyebrows. Her lips have a thick coat of deep berry lipstick with a defined, overlined contour and a glossy, wet finish. Add a barely noticeable highlighter to her nose and cheekbones.

Her nails are long, well-groomed, almond-shaped, and coated in a sheer natural nude shade, with no bright nail art. She wears a simple black thin-strap camisole that reveals her shoulders and collarbones, and a very subtle, fine gold-colored chain or choker.

Use tight vertical framing. Position her face slightly off-center and emphasize her lips and hand. Keep the background completely blurred, with only indistinct suggestions of the dark room. The image should feel spontaneous and unprofessionally processed, retaining the natural, raw quality of a mobile-phone photo taken in the dark.
