Art style: Realistic cinematic close-up. Close-up of the cheek area. A wooden spatula spreads a thick, glossy, translucent purple wax over the blue tape and onto the bare skin. The wax catches the light, showing a gooey texture against the tan skin and dark beard. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Realistic cinematic close-up" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Realistic cinematic close-up". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Realistic cinematic close-up" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - The Customer: A man in his late 20s with a well-groomed, thick black beard and mustache. He has tan skin with visible pores, dark hair, and deep-set eyes. He is wearing a black professional barber's cape. His expression is calm and relaxed, often with eyes closed or looking away. The background is a brightly lit barbershop with blurred wall art. - The Barber: Only the hands and forearms of the barber are visible. The hands have light tan skin and are steady and precise. One arm is covered by a grey fabric sleeve. The barber uses wooden spatulas, blue adhesive tape, and a curved blue stencil to apply grooming products.
