Here is a requested tutorial on how to make
this icon.
Made with PSP 9 but can easily be translated.
We’ll be going from

.
Take your picture
here and crop it to a square. Then resize to 100 x 100 pixels.
Sharpen your base
Duplicate your sharpened base and set it to Screen at 30 %.
Duplicate your base again and move it above your screened base. Desaturate it and set to Soft Light at 100 %.
Duplicate your base again, bring it to the top, and set to Soft Light at 100 %.
Make a new layer and fill with #020b2a. Set to Exclusion at 100 %.
Go to your sharpen brush/tool. I put the settings at Size 6, Hardness 40, Opacity 6. On any pictures of Emma, sharpen her eyes, lips, hair, eyebrow, and earring. Then you're all done!
Hope it’s easy to follow!
