First retouch in a long time Options

[chornu2]

Be as harsh as you possibly want, any type of criticism is helpful. This is the first retouch I've done in four or five months. I couldn't find myself to do something with the eyeshadow that I actually liked, so I left it and moved on.

Reason for edit: Added image tags. - Cristy

If you smooth her skin out, be sure to add some noise back into the smooth spots to even her skin out. This is where a higher quality picture would come in handy - many of the "blemishes" on her face are actually caused by the low quality of the image.

Besides that, tone down the makeup (it looks unnatural). Don't change the eyelashes - not only do they look smudged and fake, but in editing them, you hid her double eyelids, which makes her eyes look even more unnatural. The purpose of retouching is to edit an image while making the edits seem as natural and as much a part of the original image as possible. Try to keep that in mind while you work on your image ^^
