Photo retouching to the limits

Could you tell which of these two pictures is the original one, and which one the ‘fake’, retouched image? I had to look twice, because it seemed nearly impossible. It’s the right one. But hey, the left one could be on a magazine cover! This is just another amazing accomplishment of master photo retoucher Amy Dresser. I’ve been browsing trough her comple portfolio and it just blows my mind. I should really start experimenting with photo retouching myself. I’ve got quite some experience with graphic design in Photoshop, but I’ve never tried to ‘beautify’ a picture of someone.
