Description Alicia Keys' face looking for some structure

Experimenting with different brushes. I like the wet brushes which I uses on her face and turned out better than expected. Definitely an upgrade in textures for me.

strange, I'm the first to comment this marvolous idea?
I like the texture her skin and the shading of the skull a lot. Wonderful work! Only thing I noticed were her lips, they look too smooth and kind of like made of plastics/gum. I'm not sure what's the right word. Also, the lighning above them and the form make them look like she is snarling, which is not necessarily a bad thing, it works well considered what she is looking at. Actually, I like that, come to think about it.
Seeing he in a perfect profile, would you see the "inside" of her head on the side you're not looking at? Seems just a bit strange to me.

Thank you very much! The way I thought of the lips was a thick amount of red lip gloss lip stick stuff. Yeah you probably wouldn't be able to see "inside" her but I thought it would be important to the picture to see that it was mask like.... but i dunno ha. much appreciated commenting. Here is a link to a different version I finished today=[link]
