Hi, to give you some tips on photoshopping. I would recommend starting with using the patch tool on a duplicated layer and removing all of her undereye wrinkles, Then take down the opacity on the top layer to bring back some of the under eye wrinkles, just lessen thier appearence. You can do this on any wrinkle infact. Also the whites of her eyes are overly white, always use a top layer and take away the opacity to get a more natural look. And again the same advice on your skin blurring, it's a bit heavy. If you put it on a duplicated layer, you can lessen the opacity to make it more natural. I hope this gives you a bit of direction. Just have fun. Subscribe to Kelbytraining too. It is very imformative!
