Hellomarcy, I didn’t really see this thread since you requested comments on someone else’s.

 

You’re a little heavy-handed on the skin processing, but overall looks good. I saw a few things I would’ve done differently, but that’s just artistic interpretation.

 

I like your font. It’s not Neutraface, but it’s clean and modern. (You know I don’t have any heavy criticism when I actually talk about your font choice.)

 

A lot of your photography is shot with the camera tilted down a bit… this is causing some body distortion (long torso, short legs). Since you’re doing fashion stuff, you should get a little bit lower and shoot with the camera back more parallel to your subject. You might use a longer lens and take a few steps back. However, a lot of fashion photography looks better shot at eye level, in which case you can either shoot wide and crop, or adjust the vertical a bit in post processing. If you choose the latter, remember that you’re fixing distortion, not introducing new distortion, so don’t make people look freakishly tall either.

 

Depending what kind of lighting you want to use, you can avoid heavy shadows from hair on the face by shooting into the part (with light on the same side). This would’ve helped on some of your shots, by giving short lighting instead of broad lighting which is also more slimming, esp on the face. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/s720x720/208922_473446789350679_1017480067_n.jpg

 

Obviously, you’re not a fauxtographer.
