Fascinating, but I wouldn't have a clue on how to critique something like this.

Nice work all around here both on your part, the model, and the MUA. I like your lighting and framing, although I'm not sure if I feel some of the crops are just a bit too tight.
Looking good, really.

Just a question, are we supposed to look at this as one shot/grouping,etc. or at the individual shots? The way its posted I would assume its one shot.

sure .. you can look at it as a group or one shot. I appreciate any type of c & c so I can improve my craft.

This is difficult to critique. Your technique is quite good. The lighting is fantastic.
What I think is bothering me is that trying to capture the makeup is interfering with getting a great shot.
For example, the first shot. If she is biting her lip, she should be looking at the camera as well. In the bottom left shot, the "screaming" just seems non committal.
On the other hand, seeing all these shots does give a special power to the lower right shot.

The first 2 shots are great, love the lighting, and I do like that she is not looking at the camera in the first one (personal opinion) but for me the crops are just to tight, I would like to see more of the second shot. Thanks, I like the drama of the "make up" shots!
