Hmmm... too much?? ok, tone it down!
I don't have a goal. Just play around with the picture.

Edit: Wait, let me answer the question again. The goal is of course to make the pictures look beautiful. If we want "real" then we don't need studio lighting and we don't need touch up. I remember the first time I use the patch tool to smooth out one of my female friend's picture. I thought I did a good job, because I get rid of all the imperfection on her face. But, she is not impressed at all, she pointed at one of the magazine's picture and asked "Can you make me look like her?" I started to use photoshop because I want the person in the photos have even skin tone and beautiful. I guess this is the goal of most people.
I am sorry that the picture looks over done. I in fact did not do much to the picture, just in case you did not notice her skin is already very good. I just take out some shadow and sharpen eyes. Then I use lab color to make the color richer.
When I see a picture I always just wondering what can I do to make the picture better? I guess this is my goal.
