If anyone can tell me how to insert the photos directly into my post that would be great!

Hi! Very nice Photo, but i think you should work more on her skin , you left a lot of dark and white spots on the skin, which making skin look like "dirty" .

Thank you for the reply! I can see what you're saying, I'll try and D&B it more to blend and smooth things out better.

Yeah the second images white balance is more normal. I just felt like the girl looked almost like a vintage pin up girl so that's why I gave the first image the more noisy, vintagey and film look with the white balance.

I would never alter someones nose like that so dramatically. Beauty isnt having a barbie nose. It's creating a balance in the face. Working with what you got. Use highlights and contouring as you would with make-up. But that's just my opinion smile
