Lighting and make-up played a very important role, but can someone help me understand the retouch work that make this shot what it is. Thanks.

well, dodge and burn is always in the retouchers mind after reading many posts in here regarding pro model retouching...and adding a dualtone colour makes this picture stand out...don't think that this picture woul be better in ordinary color...

I desaturated the image to see if I could mimic color tones...
It's close using the below shown Gradient Map adjustment.
