Create a realistic photograph: a first-person selfie with no phone visible in the frame. The subject is a young woman with expressive facial features, a vintage aesthetic, and a subtle retro vibe.

Hair: Long, curly hair. Thick, curly bangs fall casually over her forehead and partially cover one eye. The rest of her hair is gathered to one side in a voluminous, wavy ponytail falling over her shoulder.

Makeup: Expressive 90s/Y2K makeup. Sharp black cat-eye eyeliner, voluminous lashes, and a defined eyelid crease. Delicate blush on her cheeks and the tip of her nose. Full, glossy lips with a dark, sharply defined, overlined contour. Thick, dark eyebrows.

Composition and angle: A low-angle shot from a selfie perspective. A close-up portrait emphasizing the face, neck, and décolletage. The model tilts her head slightly and looks directly down into the camera with a relaxed, slightly sultry expression.

Lighting and color: Soft, warm indoor lighting. Gentle shadows emphasize the cheekbones and facial contours.

Clothing and accessories: A simple tank top or strappy top in beige-pink or nude. A fine chain necklace with a miniature pendant.

Background and atmosphere: A simple, minimalist room or bathroom interior. Light, solid-colored walls, with the edge of a mirror or frame visible in a corner. A casual, intimate atmosphere with a mirror-selfie aesthetic, Instagram/Pinterest selfie styling, and retro-inflected glamour.

Technical style: A realistic photograph taken with a smartphone front-facing camera, with light film grain and soft focus. Photorealism with highly detailed skin, fabric, and props. Capture the photo in motion. Image quality like an ${camera-quality-reference:iPhone 5}: slight digital noise, soft sharpness, muted colors, subtle grain, and a spontaneous, lifelike snapshot feel. Do not show the phone in the frame.
