Hey all, first time posting one of my portrait shots here and would love some feedback on this. Lit with a single beauty dish for catchlights and background spill. Retouched in PS.

Nice
I like the lighting. Her eye color looks unnatural; was this boosted in post or is she wearing colored contacts? Either way I would personally bring this down in PS. Also, there's still a lot of work left to do on her left cheek, with some odd vertical shadow lines. In my opinion, the makeup artist did not do a good job on the lines of her eye shadow, at the corner of her eye the makeup is wobbly. Makes me think that this is either a beginner makeup artist or the model did it herself and couldn't see very well to get the line a bit straighter; either way, it should have been fixed in post production. Her jaw leading toward her chin needs some work too.This isn't to say that her skin should look absolutely perfect, but as it is right now, those elements are extremely distracting and take away from the overall quality of the image.
*edited to add: For a beauty image, you could crop this in closer - there's a lot of spare room above her head. And since the paper or whatever it is covering her shoulder seems to be an intended focal point of the image, shooting more of that would be good.
Thanks for the feedback!
