Wonderful shoot and model, Intekhab. Great composition, sexy face expression and colors. Also as always you can tell it was your photo by post-processing. The only thing: I am not sure which program you use to smooth out the skin, but I would recommend to clean it up in Photoshop first a bit. I can see some tone unevenness on her cheeks.

Mandrake! No to hard lip liner! Please no! LOL. It looks like me on my passport photo in 90s, which i hate. I was 16 and lipliner made me look 30 . I don't know what I was thinking, LOL

I prefer bright red lips. It goes will with Intekhab's style. Maybe it is just me and men have different fantasy lol.

I think you did a good job with her lips.
Not so good with cloning out the white band in the background.

Sure, Intekhab...

In Photoshop Elements, for the lips, I used the Sponge, Burn, Dodge and Blur tools.
I also used the Lipstick Detailed Smart Brush to add back color.
I finished up with the Clone Tool to remove some excess lipstick at the corners of the lips.

I also added a bit of lightness to the eyes with the Brighten Eyes Detailed Smart Brush.
Finally, I removed the white band with the Clone Tool and a small white dot on her cheek
with the Spot Healing Brush.

Intekhab... I had not been suggesting that I would make the changes, but.....
As you have asked, here is what I came up with.

I like first one better, but this one is good as well... I agree with Mandrake, the color of her lipstick is better in the second, but I like the first shot better.

Nice portrait, Intekhab. One of your best of her.
I would clone out the white streak of light.
It's distracting and makes one wonder what it is.

I might also tone down the color of her lipstick.
Or... have her wear a different shade next time.
Unless, of course, you like it.
