I've done this/seen this on different blend challenge sites, and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to try it out here...=] It's something quite different from the contests that are usually held here at AU, but it's really fun once you try it! ;)

Now for some rules/guidlines:
-1 entry per person
-feel free to resize your entry to whatever size you would like
-use only the pictures provided
-the goal is to add make-up to a picture that has little or none at all. I will provide the pictures that you will add the make-up to.
-please include both before and after in your entry (see example below)
-make-up can be realistic (simple, something anyone would wear) OR crazy (such as a magazine add for eye make-up)...do whatever you please!
-no copying...obviously :P
-unlimited spots
-due date: May 17

Here is an example that I made...the original is on the left, the finished product on the right. This is how I would like the entries (with the before & after photos), so that voters can see what you've done with the photo ;)

Ooh, definitely joining. I love photo retouching/manipulating. :teehee: Here's my entry:

Image
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/6940/m ... nipip6.png

Needless to say, I went for the natural look. Alexis Bledel is just so naturally gorgeous that I couldn't stand to do anything too dramatic with her. In a nutshell, I just evened out the skin tone, gave her a bit more color, and played up the eyes. Nothing drastic, but it draws more attention to her best features and really makes the blue stand out.

However, would it maybe be possible to let everyone do two - one natural and one dramatic? I'd sort of like to try my hand at both.
