I used the content aware healing brush (band-aid tool) for her blemishes; painted low opacity face colours over a spot the healing brush messed up and over the brightest parts; sharpened her eyes; and, blurred the left edge.  It took ten or fifteen minutes.  I still see a couple of editing flaws I would fix.

Some people don’t want any editing, others are OK with varying degrees of editing.  A good make-up artist helps as does lighting and camera to subject angle.
