That looks really realistic. Good work!

Did you go for the geisha look or the deathly look?

 

[Inkz]

Pretty decent...

I been doing this sort of thing recently to my models for a more fantasy look. Anyway, the eye lids need more work and maybe clone her right eye where you can see colour. That wasn't you as it's in the original pic. Just clean it up.

Good job.

I think she has such natural beauty that this makeup does nothing for her. I think with the changes you made in her color palette and skin tone, it might have worked if you had also addressed the hair and eye color. IMHO.

Also, the dress has a light quality that looks more like a blend mode than a convincing dress. I commend your trying and you are certainly on the right track. So keep practicing!

Here is how I would handle it: keep some color in her skin - the 'porcelain' look is not working; put a little color in her cheeks; deepen the color and brighten up the hair; keep the makeup subtle and don't remove every shadow around her eyes. I also tried to keep or put back some of the color in the hair strands over the dress.

I was gonna do a make over like this clare, shes already cute/lovely but needs some depth of colour in her cute cheeks.

I thought so too. I saw your comments, geisha or deathly. Now why don't you tell us what you really think, lol. Well, I was sitting here with Dave and watching TV, so I spent the time playing with this makeover. I'm not big on very many tv shows.

I was not being nasty just asking which way it was going, ergo my comment about depth etc.:mrgreen:

Oh, sorry I never meant to imply that you were nasty. All part of the process of learning to use Photoshop. Praise and critique.
