Aesthetics 3rd Faceup

      So yeah, this is my third Faceup and is like some critique (: I used water colors, pastels, and watercolor pencils and finally got some eyelashes
       
    2. Very nice! Did you hand paint the eyebrows and lashes or are they done in pencil?? Either way, they're both very nice.

      I've only got two critiques for you. The eyebrows would look a little more natural if the ends were up a little bit higher over the brow bone. Some of the lip lines are a bit dark imo but they don't really take away from the faceup.
       
    3. A really lovely faceup, especially since it is only your third! I love the big freckles. It reminds me a lot of a friend I have. She is always whining about her freckles but, just like here, I can't help but find them cute.

      My one criticism would be that the lips look a little unevenly painted. What are you using to color them?
       
    4. Watercolor and colored pencils, and a base of pastels ~
       
    5. Thank you! (:
       
    6. I really love how fresh and natural this face-up turned out. The eyes are beautifully enhanced by the lashes and liner, and I definitely think the freckles gave her more dimension as a whole. My only scruple would be--and it's been mentioned already--in the lips. They do feel a little dark for me, BUT at the same time I also feel like the color adds, aesthetically, to give her a quietly bold look. Not too loud, but not so soft that it's lost, either. :D Congrats on a job well done!
       
    7. Thank you thank you :lol: I will probably redo it again in the future if she doesn't sell any time soon. I'll focus more on pastels for colors than paints and see how that turns out.
