 Yes her skin is this smooth and pretty! Taken in my home studio. Adjusted levels, contrast, color balance, just a bit of NI, (no crop necessary), cloned out a few skin imperfections and a couple of stray hairs on the background, resize and save for web.

Well done, in its own way, but rather grotesque.

Really like this but with that makeup.. I think perhaps a straight on view might have been a bit more powerful with the hair falling around the face.. and made the eyes the star of the picture :) .. lovely tones and if its you.. you have amazing eyes :)

Love the tones and lighting. Would've been even better (IMO of course) without the heavy eye makeup.

I love the silky smoothness and great tonality. Unfortunately for me the black under the eyes keeps it from being a 10.

Man oh man ... shot after shot that I have to give at least an 8 to. This is not gonna do any good at all to my own entry's rating in this challenge. I find this shot stunning and different and very nicely lit. - 8

a bit much on the eye makeup i think. you might want to try sharpening a bit more, especially the eyes which should really pop in a picture like this. great lighting though, even nice catchlights!

you didn't need the eye makeup - I think the eyes are photogenic

Was the makeup her idea or yours? I would have left her eyes more natural..but I like the expression that you've caught here. And I like the soft light on her face and hair.

Skin looks a bit plastic (there isn't a single blemish to see?)

Very very smooth skin, perhaps too much, I like the dark eyes and the detail in the hair, Good Luck 6
