Not mad at all. However it would be much more useful to you to work from the original. And for us as well. Whether an individual effort succeeds, or fails, everyone still learns.

Messed around with some noise, and sharpening.

Little more makeup.

Little accent here and there...

looks like you guys covered all the difforent ways to clean up bare skin so i thought why not some fashion makeup!!!!!, I used what they call "smokey eye" but with purples instead of natural skin tones. ( yes it is very extream looking) Its a nice effect you see in a lot of fashion shows. oh and the original touch up job you did was very good.

Ok newbie here but thought I'd have a go.

Wow!! Thank you all you guys!! I must say that everyone did wonderful jobs and have really shown me, exactly what I need to make this image what I want. Starting by going with edgework's advice, I am going to leave the coloring alone because I liked his finish the best in terms of color. For internet purposes I'll ease off the sharpening like MatthewMarshall, it's just starting to bug me out. I did it make because I heard it prints better. Don't know if it's true, for I have no experience with print.

"here is my version...I've tried to get her too look more brown if I can say that without being rude..." I didn't realize color can be offensive... just kidding,
superkoax. I did like her darker too. tried it myself before but couldn't make it work.

It is very cool what you did. Is there like a link to view the different styles of make up you know of? Very interesting stuff.

i dont think theres a right or wrong ..

i believe everyone has their own style and eyes are trained differently.

everyone did a splendid job, if you ask me.

If your only intent is to please yourself, your are correct. If you need to please a client, there is definitely a right or wrong, and until the client signs the proof (and the check) it's wrong.

There are more or less agreed upon standards for judging work like this, and while they evolve from period to period, one needs to at least pay lip service to them before striking out on one's own.

I wish i new a great website to give that shows all the difforent styles of makeup. The best thing to do is just go to google.com searching for makup. thats what i do. also I grab fashion magazines from my local bookstore,

Here is my attempt. I don't get to work on darker skin tones much so this was good practice.

I did a little d/b(still trying to learn this technique)
cloning
curve adjustment layers

comments welcome
