Prompt

Create an extreme photorealistic close-up portrait cropped tightly across the upper half of a young woman's face, showing only both eyes, eyebrows, bridge of nose, upper cheeks, and strands of hair at the edges. She has {argument name="eye color" default="pale green-gray"} eyes looking directly into the camera, natural asymmetrical eyelids, detailed irises with catchlights, long dark upper eyelashes, and visibly sparse simplified lower eyelashes. Her skin is realistic with pores, faint freckles, small moles, peach-pink cheek texture, subtle under-eye shadows, and natural shine on the nose bridge. She has {argument name="hair color" default="light blonde"} hair falling in loose strands along the left and right edges, thick natural dark-blonde eyebrows, minimal makeup with soft brown mascara and a slightly smudged eyelash look. Use warm natural daylight, shallow depth of field, intimate macro-lens framing, high-resolution skin detail, realistic color grading, no text, no accessories, no full face visible, landscape aspect ratio.
