if you're going to go that far, you might as well give it a soft diffused glow as that is what her skin tone reminds me of...

she looks dead, way over kill on the retouching. But your on a good start. try studying and enhancing your skills, your on a good start

thanks for your input.... i was really just playing around a little so i know it's very over processed, and yes it already does have the diffuse glow filter :D

Very nice image to practice on (and I need a lot of it). Attached is an alternative look. I thought a darker look more flattering. It's my first shot at using the eye lash brushes found on the site. I think I over did the eyes.
