Nice start!
I like the way you managed to keep some skin texture.
However I can see the contouring (black) and the skin tones look a bit odd to me.
Thanks for your work!

Nice work Eugen!
The colors are really different from what I usually and I actually like them. Can't choose though hahaha

Interesting version!
Looks like painting. Not sure I like the toning (especially on her top) and I wish you kept more details in her skin (or may be you did but the image is too small to judge?)

Very nice Olga! I really like what your did here!
It's almost perfect. May be you could here dress showing in the bottom right for the right image and remove the black lines on the bottom of the second image.
Please send me the hi-res file if you don't mind wink

Nice start Miky. However the images are little bit soft (details lost in the skin).
I can also see some skin tones variation. I'm sure you can do better!

I actually like the tones but the work on her face looks a bit unfinished for my taste. I'm sure you can get rid of the eye bags (dark circles under her eyes) and keep more texture on the skin.
So at this point I would like you to not to use this out of MM please. I'm sorry sad

Of course I can get rid of the eye bags but definitely appear fake. Not 15 years old, is a widow. :-)
As skin texture I assure you it's there, probably due to compression and size reduction is not seen well. Still has fuzz on face. I do retouch skin only with D & B. I never use blur.

Hi MMers,

Here are few images (most of them are beauty) for retouchers.
I usually do my own retouch but I would like to see how you guys can improve my images. wink

Please keep it simple (blemish removal, toning, skin enhancing) and classy.

You can headed to my facebook or website to see the type of retouching I like/do. 

Looking forward to see your work and hoping to find new collaborators!

There is definitely a way to get rid of or reduce the eye bag and still make it believable.
Here is an example with exactly the same lighting setup. wink
Oh then it's may be the compression. Can you please send me a jpg 80 version?
Thanks

Clean work. However I don't know what to think about it. I mean I don't love it but I don't hate it either. It's like something is missing but I can't point it out...

I'm may be wrong but I'm not sure your portfolio actually feature your work.
Especially because one of the images is part of another retoucher's portfolio http://smithkevinjames.com/es-magazine-shes-cosmic/

Can you show some work you did with before after?
