Based upon feedback I've received in the critique forum I'm considering a new look, and possibly expanding the type of shots I want to do. I'm open for a change... hair color, style, fashion, type of pose/shot, etc How would you re-make me and why? How would you like to "shoot" my new look? All are welcome to play, but be nice! Jan 19 10 06:54 pm Link If I were you, I'd shave my eye brows. And i'm totally serious about this. I'd keep the blonde hair but shave the eye brows. I think that would give you a really unique look. I don't know if you ever saw DBZ when you were younger; the episodes when they transformed? I thought the look without eye brows looked cool.

Jan 19 10 08:57 pm Link I'd give you a make-under. Cute look - the red lipstick has to go. first thing I see, when I look at your port from afar is the red lips then my eyes dart to your eyes then to your hair then back to the lips, eyes, hair, lips , eyes hair. Pick one - hair , lips, eyes and keep it the way it is - the other two, tone it down. I'd suggest keeping the eyes - neat makeup, bring down the shade of the lipstick and dare I say , go back to your natural hair colour. the look is pretty fly for a burbank cali girl, but for an international model - bring it down a few notches. with the lips and hair toned down I bet you'll find that your eyes pop more and then other things like your skin will come out as well which is very clear however gets lost in all the darting between the three high points. let me know if that makes sense... Jan 20 10 07:46 pm Link If you want to keep the blonde, I would add a light/dark brown frame around your face. You'll see a big difference! And I kind of agree with the shaved eyebrows. Pencil-ing them in or just going without would give you an edgier look. Jan 20 10 08:12 pm Link Adam W Photography wrote: Adam W, thank you for the thoughtful reply. Your explanation makes sense. I personally think my eyes are a stronger feature than my lips; that was my thinking when I went with the bold red lipstick, to draw attention to them. With your explanation, I can see how it makes the photo look busy. Jan 20 10 09:07 pm Link amycore wrote: Amy, thank you for the suggestion. You have very beautiful eyes, btw. I'm trying to visualize what it would look like on me, but I keep seeing the faces of the Wah Ching gangster chics I used to know, with their big hair, shaved eyebrows (penciled in), and heavy make-up... Jan 20 10 09:12 pm Link I think you look really cute in this picture. If you're going to keep blonde, I would actually suggest having shorter blonde hair. Maybe like this... I could see you pulling this color off...it's not so much of a bleach blonde. Jan 20 10 10:38 pm Link Miku Starshine wrote: Miku, thank you for the reply. I'm not sure I could pull off a short hair look. Slightly darker hair wouldn't be bad. I've worn that color before. Do you also think I should tone my make-up down some?

In some pictures, you can do really dramatic makeup and in others really muted and natural looks. It mostly depends on the shoot you're doing. Jan 21 10 08:41 am Link please don't shave your brows unless you want stubble! if you want them lighter, have them professionally lightened. personally, i think you should leave them alone and go darker with your hair color. a dark mahogany violet brown would be very pretty on you Jan 21 10 11:17 am Link Kaia wrote: I agree. Unless you're an expert at drawing eyebrows back in, they could look a bit strange. I think a chocolate brown colour would look nice, and I really like your dark lips on the second snapshot.

I do think the dark make-up looks great on you! Jan 21 10 01:41 pm Link |
