I swear there is NO editing here! (well, I won't lie, I cut the image to make it square).
I was preparing myself for a photoshoot, and after I painted one eye and put one of the contact lenses, I was like, 'woah, makes a difference'. Had never really realized until now. Pale perfect skin, blue feline eye, big lips. And then freckled face, brown eye, no eyelashes.
Bam, cleaned my right side and took a picture. Sweet.

Just look at what make-up can do.
Me gusta.

This contrast in this photograph immediately caught my eye. I think you did well with getting that stark contrast across.

I have seen some people comment about the lips being uncentered. That is true. I'm sure it was centered when you applied the lipstick, but when you made the expression and moved your chin outward, it moved your lines. Simple mistake. Honestly, I think it looks fine, but another photograph could have easily fixed that. Though I kind of like the expression myself.

It really is amazing what makeup can do and that fact is CLEARLY seen in this photograph! It also shows how women look without it. Shows just how much it can accentuate the beauty we already have!

I also like that your hair is pulled back. These kinds of before and after/comparison photos are skewed a little when people have their hair, although beautiful, all up in their face! You can see everything when it is [pulled back, even all the contours of your face. That is important in a shot like this.

The gray background was probably for the best, being the focus on colors should be on your face. The background could detract from the contrast of colors on your face, so no color is best.

All in all, pretty neat photo. Thank you for sharing it!
