This guy has gone for a Classic Hollywood style.

wow. really shows you how much lighting (and perhaps a little PS) can really do for a portrait. Makes we want to learn a thing or too more...

a good make up artist, or a woman who truly knows how to apply her make up doesn't hurt, either.

No kidding. The mouth creases are super prominent on several of those women and all but gone in the final. There's something at work changing that, and it isn't just that the "before" photos are purposefully unflattering. I think there's a good deal more at work here.
