I've seen 3 images of this lady now, I believe. I just feel like the eyelashes are not working in any of them. The sequins on the side are interesting and I am liking how they catch light in the shadow. I don't know what it is about the eyelashes that aren't working for this model. It might be their color, how they have been applied or the fact that they are just radically unnatural that doesn't appeal to me. However, I have seen eyelashes like this that do work for photos. There are a few points on the shadow side of her face (where it blends from light to shadow) that I would recommend retouching just a tad more to make them less "cratered" and bumpy for an image of this sort.
In the end, I think you have an interesting effect going on with the sequins grabbing light in the darkness and then you're killing this visually interesting thing happening with the eyelashes. On the particular photo, she also looks bruised on the left (our left) side of her face around her eye (it looks like she got punched near the temple).
Ya, the eyelashes are so distracting to me (as in the others) that it's hard for me to like it. I try and imagine they are not there and try and critique it from there, but its hard.
Her eyebrows look uneven too, was this makeup? To me the crop doesn't work in this one, I would like to see more above the forehead, but thats just my taste. I could be completely wrong if I saw a different crop though.
Side light is a little too far to the side, I would have brought it in.
