Using the uploaded photo as a reference, create a photorealistic first-person selfie of a woman. Do not show a phone in the frame.

Give her expressive facial features and a vintage aesthetic with a subtle retro feel. Her hair is long and curly, with a full, messy curly fringe falling across her forehead and partially covering one eye. Gather the rest of her hair to one side in a voluminous wavy ponytail that falls over her shoulder.

Use expressive 1990s/Y2K makeup: defined black cat-eye eyeliner, voluminous lashes, a sculpted crease, a soft blush on her cheeks and the tip of her nose, and full glossy lips with a sharply defined dark overline.

Compose a close-up portrait from a low angle with a selfie perspective, emphasizing her face, neck, and décolletage. Her head is slightly tilted, and she looks directly into the camera from above with a relaxed, slightly sultry expression.

Use soft, warm indoor lighting with gentle shadows that define her cheekbones and facial contours. Dress her in a simple beige-pink or nude camisole or strappy top, with a fine chain necklace and a tiny pendant. Set the scene in a minimalist room or bathroom with plain light-colored walls and the edge of a mirror or frame visible in a corner. The mood is casual and intimate, evoking mirror selfies, Instagram/Pinterest aesthetics, and glamour with a retro touch.

Make the image look as though it was captured with a smartphone front-facing camera. Use an iPhone 5-like image quality: subtle digital noise, soft sharpness, muted colors, light film grain, and the feel of a candid frame captured in motion. Render detailed skin, fabric, and props, with a soft-focus finish. Output in 4K. Do not show a phone in the frame.
