so. after looking at this pic i decided to retouch this photo also :) i tried not to make it the same.. but i think it did turn out pretty similar =T anyways. i thought i'd share my final pic!

there's a barely there watermark... just because i'm so cautious -___-" i don't think its gets in the way too much of the retouched pic.

ew. but now that i'm looking at the thumbnail... did i overdo the eyes??

UPDATE// How are the lips now?

[markmejia]

^ Ooh, I like the new lip texture. But I also noticed you re-applied the bright red lip stick, which makes the new texture look more natural, I'm guessing? :]

[Gigi]

It was hard, because Scarlett's lips were kind of red to begin with. I did try to keep the same colour as before because I preferred the more natural-coloured lip, but, you're right, it looked so weird and unnatural. So I ended up having to compromise for something in between. It's a little more pigmented without being that orangey matte red it was before (ugh).

[markmejia]

Aww, phooey. I guess her makeup artist's to blame. :P

You've still done a great job, though.

Great job Gigi and whoahitznikki too.

Gigi, I love what you did with the eye lashes. Her skin's a tad bit blurry and the undereye area is too perfect but still lovely job! I've been using eyelash brushes for awhile and they save a lot of time don't they!

good job... but

-the neck is blotchy
-you ruined the dress's color :-\

[xTINAA]

I don't think she ruined the dress' color. She probably changed it in order for it to fit in more with the picture and the new lip color.

I actually didn't touch the neck (didn't think of it), but I don't think there was anything wrong with it to begin with?

The red dress looked obnoxious on her, especially with the matching lips! Read when I said it was to tone her down.

At least, when giving criticism, provide some objective, useful things that I could use. "Ruining the dress's color" is not objective, and not useful. Thanks for trying though.

I like the new dress color. I think it's easier on the eyes, cause the original bright red color was like extreme, haha.

the truth is so sad. you should try thickening her hair around the hair line.
and maybe reduce some frizz.

hey I saw your conversation and want to show you something link removed I give to my girlfriend one flawless gift and she adore it

dream job. retouching nudes all day. haha.
