Hi this is a before and after i done a while back . I left a shadow under her right eye for a realistic feel :) . I have a beauty editorial coming out bext month so i will show some befor and afters when it is released. I'm no pro and have loads left to learn.
I really like the edit! It's adding to the styling and you're right about the eyes, looks much more realistic!
Thank you for your kind words
When you brighten the eyes, don't brighten them equally. In this case they should be brighter only on the camera left side, while the right side should be darker. They are spheres. On the original image her left eye is darker, because it was in the shadow. On the retouched image the left eye is brighter or looks brighter because of the shadow on the face. Also, when working on the skin, don't forget the neck and the hands. I don't like absolutely flawless skin, but the level of retouching has to match all over the skin.
Other than that, the image is beautiful.
Thank you for your help . I appreciate your time :)
