Here's how:
1)duplicated layer
2)used clone stamp tool to fix blemishes, hair wisps, remove reflections in eyeglasses, 3)digital lipstick with paint tool color=d8628c, opacity 34%
4)cropped, saved
5)opened in Lightroom 2
6)applied WoW-Glow 2 from PhotoPresets Wow Effects for Lightroom (free presets online) >> go here
