Hello fellow MMers! I'm looking for some critique/ recommendations on my portfolio, I'd really appreciate it as I'm never sure it's good enough  http://www.sandravalero.portfoliobox.me/ I'd like to have some input from other professionals as to what you think, and how to continue working on it. What about the "About me" section, is there anything I should include/ get rid of? Thanks so much, I'll reciprocate leaving you some pic comments!

Don't really use the moniker "professional' since it is so highly abused in my market... hope this makes sense... Apr 15 14 07:12 am Link Thanks for your input! I meant professionals as in people who know the industry and are actively in touch with what they do (be it photographers, MUAs, stylists...) I work for MAC as a way to support myself besides my freelancing, since I am not at a point where I can just live on assignments. Spain is a tough, very tough market with very limited work. Also, I love the training part of makeup and I'm heading in that direction within the company. I do airbrush but just basic, traditional makeup, that's why I was hesitant about including it in there, I am however expecting to do a good airbrush course in the future and then start marketing that as well. I just don't like to brag about something I'm not that amazing at yet!

Do kids, do brides, do actors and avoid retouched images in your book. Then go there to check out the folks working and how they package themselves http://www.jedroot.com/ The only real work I know of is in Barcelona.

Your natural makeup on the 10th girl down, the girl with the freckles and the black girl on the bottom is quite subtle and soft and enhances the models faces while allowing them to look simply fresh face. The glamour makeup application is wonderful, I would just watch out that the blush doesn't get too overpowering. I know that for glamour we put a lot of emphasis on the cheekbone but on the 16th model down she actually looks a little bruised (it could also be the hue of the blush because number 8 looks great). I like your fantasy makeup as well my only suggestion for that would be to have a little more fun with it Also the 2nd picture on the 2nd to last line , although it is an interesting picture, it does not really show off your work because the lighting (it look like there is a blue gel over the light distorting the color on the whole picture) doesn't let actual makeup show through. I think your port is fabulous!I love seeing other talented mua! I am a mua/model as well and would love it if you would do the same for me and give me your personal critique on my MUA page https://www.modelmayhem.com/2772954 (it;s different than my model page).
