The first thing that I noticed was the lines from the nose to the sides of the mouth. I think it is still too prominent.

The hair is a bit orange, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing for a glamour magazine. For me, it's fine.

On the wrinkles, boob job, tummy tuck and all, you did a very good job. Keep it up!

j-c welcome to RetouchPRO.

A very nice job you did there.

There are some minor quibbles, but nothing so important that it in any way detracts from the final image:

1) The lady, in the original has high prominent cheeks, in the touch-up the right-side cheek have been smoothed and became flatter, however the outline of the left-side cheek retains the original shape;
2) There seems to be some streaks on the arm (lengthwise);
3) There seems to be a "clone path" in the middle of the arm.

..these are just tiny nitpicks however, nobody would ever notice this stuff - everything else is perfect!!
