Hello everybody!!

Love to listen at your critique from one of my first trials at beauty retouching.

What do you think? What can I improve? Let me know!!

This looks really great, especially for one of your early trials of beauty retouching. Only being on the nit-picky side, I would maybe clean up the eye brows some and straighten up the eyelashes. Lastly, a few areas of the skin could be blended a little bit more. However, once again; this looks great overall. Good Job!

This will be blunt but this is not good cos the wrong technics have been used.

You used a filter to retouch the skin (either band pass in frequency separation, or a some type of blurring on the skin) and it shows. No pros will ever do that. The best technics to retouch skin is cloning for details and texture, dodge and burn for light uniformity of the skin (smoothing out gradients so the skin looks smooth).

Your colour is all over the place.
Look at the really desaturated area in the neck (it's cyan actually), this should not happen in a beauty image.
The neck is more pink than the face. You do not want to see big differences between skin areas, unless it is intended for the purpose of the image.

The teeth are not the right colour.

The eyelashes in the inner corner of the camera right eye need to go. they are falling into the white of the eye, should not happen.

There is a variety of tools to work on colour, it's important that, as with light, the colours transition smoothly from one area to the next unless the sharp transition is intended.

If you pay attention to these elements and work on your cloning, dodge and burn and colour techniques, you will have the right tool set to become a good retoucher.

Thanks for having a look at my pic.

I appreciate your observations and I will take under consideration to improve my retouching skills.

Hope my next pic will be better!!

Thank you a lot for your words!!

7/10. The under of the eyes are bothering me. Looks blotched.

I think you've done well for your first time! The are some skin issues that others have already commented on. The best thing that helped me is having reference photos, magazines and sites open with beauty images. Helped me when I first started. Also taking frequent breaks helped my eyes. Keep practicing!
