Hi Anita, you were on the right track with the headshots, especially for a MUA they're more important than medium-length shots or full-length ones... the only prob I can see is that they're too small right now, seems like they were just copies of thumbnails

There are 5 or 6 photos with what looks like the same hair style, and it really stands out as being repeated.

As in life, variety is the spice.

I can't tell your skills as a MUA from the shots you have posted. You need shots where detail in the eyes, lips, shadows, etc. can be seen. Check out some of the cosmetic ads to get a better idea of what I mean.

I agree with Fred. You need some closeup shots of the eye and mouth areas since that's where most of the detail work will be.

You didn't say if you're also doing hair, but the pics you have posted, primarily seem to have the same hair. There should be a variety of looks (one image per look).
I also echo what's been said about detail.
