Christmas som`ee`card

have to say, the people don't really look like either one are happy to be doing this. it's almost like it's a brother getting a kiss from his sister and the girl looks like she's contractually obligated to do this but is going to make the photog pay up immediately upon the shutter being pressed.

on the positive, the models are well lit, clearly in focus and attractive in their own right, and in terms of size compared to the card, they are well proportioned, it's just not my idea of a Christmas card

still a 7 on technicals

Harsh!
Skin smoothing, tone shifting I see; adding make-up I do not see.
There are no shadings present in the after that are not there in the before (emphasised or toned down some, but not created from nothing).
wait, if they mean the dark mascara-like like, that already exists, she is wearing make-up, it just may not have been 100% completely across the eye, but it was there. mon dieu, this sucks!

I was really hoping to see the tutorial process in your notes based on the title.
I think the most effective way of doing this tutorial would be a series of "before/during/after" screenshot images with notes, hosted in the "how did they do that" section of the site.

As for the image, I scored it an 8 and think it's a great example of what can be done in the advanced rule set.
