Retouching Assignment

This is the image I started off with by googling "Celebrities without makeup" and checking large images. It's a picture of Emma Watson that I randomly chose from the pool of images.

I picked the surface blur in the filters and then made a mask to selectively apply it. I played with the values until i found a result I liked which blurred out or removed anything that would be considered detrimental to her beauty.

I took a brush and played with the opacity until it was enough to hide some of the features but not outright remove them. This is the finished result because i could not think of anything else to do and I might have a messed up sense of beauty so I don't know what to fix.
