okay sorry, that last line was written out of spite. I shouldn't have said that. But seriously, we learn by trial and error. There is nothing wrong with experimenting in different editing styles. It doesn't mean you are 'copying', it means you are trying to further your knowledge.
 
That's GIMP, but the curves adjustments should work pretty much the same way.. It's all in the shape of the tone curve.
 
Let me rephrase whenever I start messing with colors to get a vibrant images skin tones get all out of whack here they seem vibrant but natural.

selective adjustment...in LR with brushes or in CS with layers and layer masks
 
One, or two-click editing of a basic studio-light image made by amolitor, using Matt's free Lightroom presets, and a couple with LR 3.6's free factory presets. $Original Hed Shot.jpg$Original Hed Shot_Auto Enhance- Vivid (Nikon).jpg$Original Hed Shot_Aged Photo + Corners + Light Grain.jpg$Original Hed Shot_B&W Portraits-Indoors.jpg$Original Hed Shot_Bleach Bypass w minor adjust.jpg$Original Hed Shot_Hawaii Five-O + 43 tint.jpg$Original Hed Shot_Ice Cold Medium.jpg
 
I dunno if this helps:

The modification was done by applying this curve, warming the colors up a bit and increasing saturation a bit.

This does help actually is this photoshop or light room ?

Lightroom has a curves editor in the develop module. Just scroll down. But first, right click on one of the headers like HSL/Color/B&W... Then select "Solo Mode." Probably the best decision I've ever made in Lightroom.
 
OP if you're interested in learning more about light room i encourage you to check out slrlounge on YouTube. They have fantastic tutorials with step by step easy to understand sections. They break a lot of it into sections so you can gain understanding of each part of the different development module panels. They include a lot of helpful tips on certain effects and looks as well. I think once you understand what the different tools do it will be easy for you to recreate edits until you find the right combination to form your own style. Hope this helps.

This editing style looks pretty clean to me. Maybe slightly brightened in post or shot that way. I don't really see a lean toward a particular trend of editing here.
