For no. 2. That's how she looks. I don't favor this shot as it shows her bad point. She don't look good looking direct to the cam but can be covered if using her hand to position in such that she don't look bloated.
Hi butties, thought maybe i would help contribute alittle bit of DI and lighting lesson.
Well for no.2, as you can see, the subject has a slightly roundish kind of face, hence as what DM mentioned, letting some hair fall on her cheek will do the trick and create a visually "slimmer" face by using the hair to hide part of her cheek.
The other thing about this picture that can be improved is:
1.) Tonal difference between face and body
2.) Contrast on the face itself
Let us take a look at this:

The eyes are oversharpened here. Paiseh last time DI noob
A small gold reflector was used to bounce light onto the subject's face. The effect is a slighter warmer 1/2 - 1 tone brighter skin tone on the face, which is still relatively ok.
However, if the tonal difference between the face and the body is too great, then it will look really weird. As if the face is photoshopped onto the body.
The recovery? Do airbrushing on the rest of the body to "even out" the skin.
Now let us look at the "typical" glamour portrait..

Ok this is the "typical" western glamour portrait style..

The image on the left is actually already DI'ed, the image on the right is DI'ed AGAIN for lesson purposes
Take note on the highlights that fall onto the face. If you look around at fashion magazines, you will notice that these highlights usually fall on a T-zone:
1.) Small part of the forehead
2.) Nose bridge
3.) Cheekbones
In this photo i have dodged the mentioned areas more than necessary to illustrate the above point.
If a photo has low contrast, especially if the angle is shot head on, then the image will look flat. Like #2, the face looks flat because there is no shadow/highlight.
To quote further examples, take a look at modelinn's photoshoot thread. Look at the compcards.
E.g. http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=434927
Look at the center pic and see where the highlight falls..
Hope this helps abit
