  Thanks, everyone! Here's the link to the retouching technique I use:

I was trained by the Glitterguru herself in this technique. After about a year of practicing I'm finally getting it right.

To get the color right I just increase the contrast in Photoshop to 10 - 15. It makes the skin glow & saturates everyhing. I'd also highly recommend the Glitterguru's book too:

It's amazing!
