I think adding falsies and blending the eyeshadow more would have helped the look, probably with a nude lip if you're going brights on the eyes.
I assume this is a photo you took yourself? How was the shoot lit? Natural light or studio lighting?
Well done for asking for advice and taking it so well.
Good points from everybody, (most of whom have far more experience than me,) particularly the difficulty in wearing pink next to the eye.
My own comments are:
She's got great skin, so make that a focal point.
Her brows need attention in the middle third.
Her lips are uneven; the top lip needs balancing. Very slightly extend the outline with a more natural liner. Highlight the centre.
Her lashes need mascara working in from the roots, or better still tinting. The roots can also be evened out by working in a suitable liner from beneath the lash root.
Good on you for thinking creatively. Carry on and consider a professional course; you've got the drive and imagination to do well. Good luck!
I don't want to be rude ad your not a pro but this makeup isnt great but I know you've not been trained so just keep practising trying new colour the colours you've used are really unflattering pinks can make eyes look sore . You need a good set of brushes and the key to a good make up is to blend blend blend ! You tube is great for tutorials go on pixiewoo tutorials you will ice up lots of tips and knowledge. You may find a colour wheel helpful. X
I agree with Lynne - my sister IS a make up artist and hairdresser and her take on any job she does is that if she isn't willing to put her name to the look leaving then she will refuse to do it. It's her rep on the line and she's worked damned hard for it. She would rather loose one customer than loose lots by allowing a look she wouldn't release for something as permanent as a photoshoot.
The picture I've attached is from a photoshoot... notice the lack of obvious eyeshadow and very subtle blusher

I would just like to say for someone who is not a qualified makeup artist you haven't done too bad. If you did want some constructive critism then here it goes.
I know for photoshoots sometimes people ask for an abstract look which is fine as most natural looks which have been done by someone who is not trained will not show up on camera, and I know the eyeshadow design you have tried but you really do need to practise your blending. When I went to college I must have heard that word 50 times a day!! If you go on youtube search make up tutorials (they will help you).
The lipliner is definitely too dark against the lipstick, also a little tip I have is when the eyeshadow has dropped on the lashes and you do not want to apply anymore mascara (if the client does not want too much of a dramatic look) using an angle brush and black eyeshadow you can comb over the lash line. Hope this helps
