Color, it loses details when in black and white.

Gorgeous! I love your port!

I think the only thing I would mention is expressions, every couple images you get the dead eyes. But you have some amazing work! Keep it up!

It's interesting that so many of the people looking for critique are already recognized.  But I'll take a chance.

I don't really like your work, it's nice but it's not intriguing. Your images also look a little blown out, plus your retouching needs work.

This is your best by far:

Are you shooting in film? The out of focus, soft blur feel makes me think you are.

Also, I am surprised the mods have let you use a nude as your avi.

I like the soft feel and the colors, but your pose looks a bit forced. Not terribly, but a little. I think it's mostly the neck tilt. And the crop is too tight, you lose your fingers and toes.

Like I told the other makeup artist, I don't know much about the craft, so it looks like you know what you're doing. But you need to work trade to get all those snap shots out of your port and build up actual work.

I find that makeup artists that are just starting out (or need a port) do well in workshops, since there are many photographers and just a few makeup artists, it gives you a chance to really get an abundance of work. You should see if there are any near you!

You have a good command of light, all of the models are very nicely separated from the background.
This is my favorite in your port:

You have some nice work, but it's not quite there yet. You need to work on your post work most, like color correction. And there is nothing that really pops out from your port, it is all very calm and safe.

You have some nice work, but you need to work on your color.

This model is green:

This model is kind of greyish:

It's like you added a filter of color over the whole image to boost the background, but didn't notice it also dyed your models.

You're off to a good start. Remember when posing for full body shots to shift your weight from your heels to the balls of your feet, it will stretch out your legs and make you look more feminine instead of masculine. And if balance allows, you should stand on your tippy-toes (barbie feet) to really exaggerate this look. Keep working on poses and expression!

There aren't any looks in your port that would make me want to hire you on, but I see potential. Keep working trade and build up a strong portfolio!

Your light is flat in more than half your images, and a lot of them are also really soft, almost out of focus.
This is your most interesting image, IMO:

This is your best focus/ well lit image, but it's a boring head shot:
