Create an ultra-realistic retro beauty portrait with a warm late-1990s / early-2000s editorial film aesthetic. Preserve the woman’s facial identity and facial proportions with 100% likeness to the reference image.

Frame a tight upper-body portrait. The woman leans slightly forward toward the camera with both bare shoulders raised. Her head is gently tilted to one side. One hand, wearing a long transparent black mesh opera glove, is pressed flat against the side of her face from temple to jaw, fingers together and extended upward. She looks directly into the camera with a languid, confident expression and softly parted lips.

HAIRSTYLE AND BANGS ARE CRITICAL: Create a voluminous messy updo with strong lift at the crown, loosely pinned with airy irregular loops and soft pieces escaping around the head. The front bang must precisely reproduce the reference: one very large, thick, smooth curved section falls from the top/front of the head diagonally across the forehead, covering part of one eyebrow and partially crossing one eye. The end of this bang curls dramatically inward into a large, almost circular C-shaped loop directly beside the eye and upper cheek. A few thin loose tendrils fall around the ears and neck. The hairstyle should feel deliberately imperfect, glamorous, and retro rather than modern and sleek.

MAKEUP: Use dramatic black elongated cat-eye eyeliner with a long sharp wing, warm beige-brown eyeshadow, thick black lashes, and sculpted brows. Strong brown lip pencil creates a clearly darker contour around the lips; fill the center with warm nude lipstick and high-shine transparent gloss. Add soft warm blush and subtle luminous skin.

Include small chunky gold hoop earrings, bare shoulders and décolletage, black feather trim visible along the lower edge of the frame, and long sheer black mesh gloves.

Use warm amber-golden indoor lighting with a pronounced vintage yellow-orange cast. Add soft directional light across the face and shoulders, gentle shadows, and slightly faded highlights. Set the portrait in a neutral cream-beige retro interior with curved architectural molding, softly readable but slightly out of focus.

Make the result feel like an authentic analog retro photograph: warm faded color correction, slightly muted colors, soft focus, moderate contrast, strong fine film grain, subtle photographic noise, and gentle vintage haze. Preserve natural skin pores and texture, with slight imperfections. No modern HDR, excessive retouching, plastic skin, CGI, or AI look.
