Using the provided reference photo, do not alter the subject’s appearance. Create a realistic image that strictly preserves her individual facial features, the shape and proportions of her face, her natural asymmetry, the specific contours of her eyes, nose, lips, and chin, and her authentic skin texture. Ensure she remains fully recognizable.

Create an extreme close-up, spontaneous-style selfie captured with an iPhone 18 Pro Max in a home setting. Her face is tilted sharply on a diagonal and fills nearly the entire frame, with parts of her forehead and chin naturally extending beyond the image boundaries. Position the camera slightly above her face at a diagonal angle to create the effect of a casual, macro-style selfie.

Her makeup is bold, with a focus on the eyes. Her skin appears smooth and velvety-matte while retaining its natural texture and visible pores. Add soft contouring on the cheekbones. Use saturated pink and raspberry eyeshadow near the lash line, blended smoothly toward the temples. Add long, sharp black winged eyeliner extending from both the inner and outer corners of the eyes, and exceptionally long, thick black lashes that accentuate a fox-eye effect. Her dark eyebrows are neatly groomed, well-defined, and slightly lifted. Her full lips have glossy nude-pink lipstick and a brown lip liner slightly darker than the center, with a natural, dewy sheen.

Her hair is very long, thick, straight, smooth, and silky, swept back with some volume at the roots. Secure a few front strands with small, elegant hair clips; let the rest flow back while retaining its natural texture and soft, healthy luster. Her shoulders are bare, with almost no clothing visible in the frame. She extends her neck slightly and tilts her head toward one shoulder. Her confident, compelling gaze is directed straight into the lens, both eyes open and lips relaxed. One hand rests naturally near her face, fingers gracefully curved so the manicure is clearly visible. Her nails are long and stiletto-shaped, with a neat, glossy milky finish and soft pearlescent chrome-powder sheen, without additional embellishments.

Use a barely discernible neutral light-gray wall as the background. The framing is extremely tight. Use soft, subdued frontal lighting without flash, creating natural, deep shadows along the contours of her face and delicate transitions of light across her skin. Keep the color grading restrained, highlighting the pinkish-raspberry makeup tones, natural skin tones, and slightly muted shadows.

The overall mood is stylish, somewhat bold, and effortless, evoking a Pinterest or Instagram aesthetic. Make it resemble an authentic, imperfect at-home macro selfie focused on graphic eye makeup. The image must be photorealistic, with lifelike velvety-matte skin, visible pores, and subtle natural imperfections. Render eyelashes, hair, and makeup in high detail, with natural skin tones, moderately enhanced contrast, light digital grain, and the soft sharpness typical of a mobile-shot photo. Capture a lively moment without excessive retouching, artificial smoothing, or a doll-like appearance.
