Thanks guys,

You'd never know you stressed about this one
Oh my God, trust me, there was much stressing going on. Still is, but the comments made here have made it easier.

One teensy-tiny thing. I know her mascara is strong, but the inner tear duct is too harsh, soften it. Also When a models eyeliner is too dark I go a shade lighter in the pastel than what you think you need.
Thanks Sharon, your advice means a lot to me. I think I did better with the eyes. I lightened the mascara with dark gray and softened the duct. I also did minor changes to the nose, lips and shape of her left cheek. The closeup I'm including actually shows just how many layers were used until I came up with something I liked! I was nervous about loosing tooth.

I'm seriously considering changing the shirt neckline to show more upper chest, maybe a couple of inches. A Daniel Greene tape I have shows him using a razor to remove pigment. Has anyone tried this?

I hope I get to work consistantly without interuptions, life is funny that way. Thank you.
