In this photograph, three women are in a room that appears to be a bathroom or dressing room with a mirror on the wall. On the left, a woman stands holding a pack of cigarettes. She has long, curly blonde hair and wears a red sleeveless top. A woman next to her is turned to look at her and appears to be speaking. She has dark hair partially styled in cornrows and tied back, and she wears a dark top. The third woman is the closest to us, and she is leaning toward a mirror on the right, applying lipstick. She has her curly hair tied back into a ponytail with tendrils framing her face. She wears a dark top with spaghetti straps, large hoop earrings, and a gold necklace. All three women have light brown skin. The background includes a gray wall, a door with a sign on the left, and white bags behind the women. A digital timestamp is visible in the bottom right corner of the photo.
