For my taste the skin is a little bit too airbrushed / softened; I’m not sure if this is from negative clarity in Lightroom, or localized brushing in Lightroom / Photoshop. Either way, whenever I’m done retouching a face or smoothing out skin, I always see what it might look like when dialed down 25-50%. Meaning, sometimes I find that the whole effect looks better at 75% opacity, or 50% even.
Very nicely done. awesome! Looks like a perfect softbox catchlight in her eyes, and the smoothness of the lighting is great. Cool backdrop too!

I think i used frequency separation on this. I should have toned it down maybe 10% more.
