The skin tone does not match, it is darker than the face above it (if anything it would be paler, because the hair would prevent exposure to the sun), and there is a light edge running around the bottom of the face that is too smooth to be "leftover" hair.

MossyB, you only know the skin would be lighter because you saw the before photo. When I look at this, I see the 5 O'clock shadow most men get in late afternoon. We all see a different perspective. Author, great job done.

One suggestion would be to add some texture to the lower face, to match the texture of the forehead and nose.

Light from below is a lightbox giving reflex lights to the bottom of the face.
My face is darker where my facial hair grows. I didn't wanted him to look like a zombie.
