Default Re: Too much retouching?
This photo needs exposure and color adjustments more than she needed cleaning up (I suspect - since we don't know what you started with).
Skin tone is cool - maybe a bit green too. Whites are too dark. Contrast is low The areas of her face where you appear to have done your work don't quite look like they belong in the picture.

I'd suggest you start over on this one, and before you even consider any sort of local retouching, nail the color, exposure, and contrast.
