The complete prompt

Create an ultra-photorealistic cinematic portrait based closely on the uploaded reference image. Recreate the same overall composition, pose, facial expression, hairstyle, makeup, lipstick application moment, hand positioning, lighting, color palette, atmosphere, camera perspective, and intimate vintage photographic feeling.

IMPORTANT IDENTITY INSTRUCTION:
If I provide a separate photo of myself as an identity reference, preserve MY exact facial identity. Do not replace my face with the woman in the reference. Use the reference image only for the pose, styling, makeup, lighting, composition, and photographic aesthetic. Keep my actual facial structure, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, face shape, and recognizable features unchanged.

IMAGE FORMAT & COMPOSITION:
- Vertical 9:16 portrait.
- Tight medium close-up / beauty portrait.
- The woman occupies most of the frame.
- Her head and upper torso are visible.
- Her face is positioned slightly right of center.
- Her body faces generally toward the camera.
- Her head is turned slightly toward the right.
- The camera is approximately at eye level with a very subtle close-up perspective.
- Keep the intimate, personal feeling of someone applying lipstick while looking slightly downward.
- The composition should feel like an unposed behind-the-scenes beauty moment rather than a formal studio portrait.

POSE & EXPRESSION:
- Woman is calmly applying lipstick.
- Her gaze is directed slightly downward and toward the lipstick applicator.

- The applicator tip is touching the center/lower portion of her lips.
- The lipstick is a deep wine-red / burgundy shade.
- Her lips appear glossy and freshly coated.
- The application should look physically realistic.
- Preserve the wet reflective quality of freshly applied lipstick.
- The lipstick should have slightly uneven freshly-applied edges rather than looking digitally perfect.

- Do not create extra applicators or floating objects.

HANDS:
- Her right hand is raised close to her face while applying lipstick.
