[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a beauty shot that was done as we try to experiment with makeup. There are many layers of makeup on her eyes and so I just want a shot with her eyes closed so we can see the "rainbow" of colors.
The main light source comes from her left side and I use a reflector to bounce back the light to highlight her right jaw line.
The model is a friend of mine who does her own makeup. The idea of desaturation comes from the fact that her t-shirt does not go well with the makeup so I desaturate it to shift focus away from it.

Hello Nhan,
Nice details and idea of the desaturation, as well as the bright colors.
The lighting is very well done. As far as the note goes- you could fill us in on if it was a moody shot, how you completed the light set-up, anything about the model, etc.
It would help so we know how to help you improve your photography (if needed).
Thanks for sharing, welcome to TrekLens and good luck.
