First, hello everyone. New poster.

I'm can't figure out how to so a simple design trick involving mirrors, it's not a reflection I'm trying to create, It's kind of hard to explain.

How do I make a photo look like the people are standing in a mirror? From what would be the mirrors point of view, it's a bathroom shot of 3 people from the front, I want it to look like as if you were looking at them in a mirror not from a camera lens.

To make it realistic I want to add grime, smudges, light reflection and lipstick graffiti to it. Can anyone help me on this? It's for a school project.

Welcome to the forum, you will need either the photographs of them from the right angle or a great sense of artistry.

You could try using a real mirror, add the smudges and whatever you else you like, take a picture of the mirror making sure a green screen is in the background.
