A young woman stands outdoors in front of a large green Christmas tree decorated with red ornaments, festive ribbons, and warm cascading string lights. The background is slightly blurred with a soft Christmas bokeh light effect.

Magical Elements:
She is holding two glowing magical candles, one in each hand. Golden sparks float in the foreground, creating small reflections and a magical festive atmosphere. Add a soft glow around the lights with subtle chromatic aberration for a retro-futuristic early-2000s aesthetic.
Makeup & Details:
Expressive polished makeup with long natural black eyelashes, defined eyeliner, luminous highlighter, sculpted cheeks with blush, flawless skin, and full matte dark red lips. Eyebrows are well-defined and filled in. Preserve original facial features exactly.
Accessories:
Elegant earrings, matching rings, and a delicate charm accessory.
Lighting & Style:
Soft winter lighting with cool yellow tones and gentle golden shimmer from the sparks. Ultra-realistic photography, cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, high detail, realistic skin texture.
