Excellent job man.
Are you using the strip as key light?

Thanks. Yes, the strip light in her glasses is lighting her. Also there is a gold reflector just out of view at her chest level. And the white background is a 3.5 foot octagon softbox that is firing.
Excellent job on the lips and skin. May I ask which blur you used to achieve skin texture? I am practicing different methods. Did you just do a hue/sat lip layer for the lips?

thanks. for the skin I did it in stages and the blur was one piece:
-removed blemishes with healing tools
-applied subtle 'dust and scratches' filter to reduce small details
-used 'surface blur' at a strong strength. masked it in at various strengths to the skin
-brought texture back by applying a high pass filter to a layer copy of her before the blur was added. I completely destaurated the high pass filter. Then I added noise to the layer and put it in 'soft light' blending mode. I masked in this to the areas where I blurred.
for the lips I created a new layer in soft light blending mode and painted with black in areas where I wanted to darken and used white where I wanted to emphasize the highlight on the bottom lip. I applied a Gaussian blur, adjusted the opacity and used a mask to cleanup any spill that would go past the boundaries of the lip.
