How it's used

This expression carries a sense of surprise or exaggeration, often implying that the person looks almost too good to be true. It is strictly informal and usually reserved for compliments regarding appearance, particularly fashion or makeup. While it literally references ghost fire, the connotation is purely about intense visual appeal rather than anything eerie.
