- Keep skin natural with visible realistic texture, pores, subtle tonal variation, and believable highlights.
- Apply subtle period-inspired makeup with soft eyeliner and deep red lipstick while preserving the woman's real facial anatomy.
- Makeup must not reshape her eyes, nose, lips, jawline, cheekbones, or other identity-defining facial features.
- Preserve the reference woman's true hair color and recognizable hair identity under the cream floral headscarf.
