Nice Girls Glam retouch, what can I do?

[Imaginicole]

First post. :] I'm really new to photo editing (so please, no harsh criticism! :[). I am also a digital painter, web designer, and graphics designer, so I thought I'd give photo editing a shot. There are still things I could do with fixing (put some texture to the skin, make the lips more clear, things like that), but I'm lazy. XP

Here's a newbie take on this retouch...

here is my try

some cloning of face
just add highpass filter(soft blending) x 2
and added makeup(soft blending of some paint)
and added white to the iris to bring out the eye color(overlay blending)
