My horrible editing skills

Okay so I seemed to not be able to sleep. So I decided to try out some photo editing with one of my sims. This is my first attempt at trying to make a sim look decent by retouching certain parts of the photo. I show you the before and after pictures.

Before-not much of a nice pose

After-I added eyeshadow and brighten her up a bit, maybe a lot. Tried adding in lighting and shadows but as you can see that didn't work out to good.

Here is another attempt at my horrific editing skills. I really need more practice.
