makeover/retouch thing, whatever you want to call it. Options

i got bored and thought that i'd play around with my cousin's picture.

before:


after:


what do you think? it's the first time i've ever done one of these. (:

The eye makeup is a little too heavy and the iris looks weird, like she's cock eyed.

But I do love the hair. I think it suits her better than her actual one. The one strand that sticks out on her left shoulder is very blurry and kinda cues that the hair is fake. If that was removed, the hair would be more realistic.

I love the hair (the bang is hott) & I like how you made her face look a little livelier...I do agree that the eye make up is a bit much; the eyes don't really freak me out but it makes her look like she has a fake smile and like she has a piercing stare on someone to the left of her

Did you draw the eyes on?

I think the contrast is turned up a little too high, but the hair is really nicely done. I like it better than the original. Kudos to you!

haha, as for the eye thing, it's because there was some dark part under her eye, so i smudged it out to make the eyelashes look normal, so i smudged it out. turns out it messed up one of the eyes, so i did the same to the other eye, and it made it look all fkljfjk D: too maahch 'splanin' i'm dooin'. haha. i guess i didn't really notice it cause i have bad vision and i'm colorblind.

and as for the hair, yeah, i agree. the blurry stuff makes it look less realistic. :p whatev. i like it, especially considering it was my first shot at something new! (:

I definitely prefer the before.

The after was over-processed. The eyes, and image itself became too dark, and the picture went from subtle makeup to overdone.

I would like the retouch better than the original if it weren't so over-processed, like agiri said, haha. The bangs implant looks good, but I definitely have to agree with everyone about the heavy eye makeup. You should kinda make the makeup just as heavy as it is in the original picture since the photo was taken at a certain distance. So maybe if you fix that, it'll look much more natural.

I also have to agree about her cockeyedness, lmao. :D Nice job though.

i actually like the second one.
maybe if you went a little lighter on her eye make-up.
the blur part on her hair makes it look weird.
umm, i think the hair looks too dark. maybe is it the contrast?

[superficial]

I have to agree with Anisha. The eyes in the after is just way too... weird looking. The "eyeliner" that you put on her is way too thick, and it looks really unnatural. The iris of her eyes look unnatural. The bangs look really spiky on the bottom and is horrible with the eyes. I also liked her skin color way better in the before than the after because of it looks like she has one of those ugly fake tans that some people get. I guess it was okay for a first?
