Retouches, Katherine Heigl and Jamie Lee Curtis Options

[whoahitznikki]

So, I tried my first retouch after being inspired by gigiopolis with his retouch of Katherine Heigl. This is my retouch of the exact image:

Anddd... since that retouch I decided to try something a little harder. I found this picture of Jamie Lee Curtis. I did not want to take away every single line and wrinkle because, well, she's old lol. I just tried to lessen the deepness of them (I guess thats a good way to put it). BTW: don't mind her right earring... it somehow became discolored but i'm way too lazy to fix it :P

//EDIT March 28:
okay, so i tried to make the teeth more... un blurred? and for the smudge.. i did not change much in that area but i couldn't take take out the smudge... also i tried adding the tan back, but i'm having trouble putting back the color without making it look cakey. any tips?

PLEASE i need all the criticism i can get! I really wanna become better at retouching :)

in the first one the color looks really washed out and she is too pale

the second one i would have taken all of the grey out of her hair and added some kind of hair extentions and also of gotten rid of more of the wrinkles around her face
