While most pictures in mags are retouched, she has blemishes and bleeding eye makeup/undereye circles so if it was retouched, it wasn't done very well.

Blurring the skin (which some pro retouchers actually still do) is okay sometimes but you need to incorporate the original skin texture so it doesn't look blurry.

It looks like you duped a layer and set it on overlay or increased the saturation. It looks very unnatural. Too orange/bronzy.

It also looks like she had a bad brow lift. You gave her brows an arch which is great but you didn't eliminate the extra space between her eye and brow so it's too large and thus looks artifical.

I thought her eyes looked fine in the original. I also wouldn't have touched her teeth. Yeah, she's got a toothy smile and her teeth are large but her mouth looks misshapen in the after shot.

It was good to get rid of her minor blemishes though. You should try D&B. Takes more time but the results are fantastic. It's one of the methods high-end retouchers use to correct skin.
