Replace the ${…} placeholders with your values before using this prompt. See parameters and defaults below.

Use ${reference-photo} as the reference photo. The reference should be clear, well lit, and not blurry; a selfie or waist-up photo is suitable. Generate the image in 4K.

Create a realistic first-person selfie of a young woman with expressive facial features, a vintage aesthetic, and a subtle retro vibe. The phone must not be visible in the frame.

Hair: Long, curly hair. Full, curly bangs fall casually across the forehead and partially cover one eye. The remaining hair is gathered to one side in a voluminous, wavy ponytail that falls over her shoulder.

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

Composition and angle: A low-angle shot looking upward, with 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. Subtle shadows emphasize the cheekbones and facial contours.

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

Background and mood: A simple, minimalist room or bathroom interior. Light, plain walls, with the edge of a mirror or frame visible in a corner. A casual, intimate atmosphere with a mirror aesthetic, an Instagram/Pinterest selfie aesthetic, and glamour with retro elements.

Technical style: A realistic photograph taken with a smartphone's front-facing camera, with light film grain and soft focus. Photorealism with highly detailed skin, fabric, and props. Capture the photo in motion. Use iPhone 5 image quality: slight digital noise, soft sharpness, muted colors, subtle grain, and a candid snapshot feel.

The phone must not be visible in the frame.
