 Two shoot-thru umbrellas front, one bare strobe behind camera left.

Camera RAW, then skin retouching with airbrush techniques along with healing brush, convert to Lab color for increased contrast in the Lightness channel, then slight blue shift except on her face. Convert back to RGB, increase saturation and brightness on eyes, image resize, sharpen, save for web.

Enjoy!

Best picture with a rubik's cube in the challenge in my opinion.

Great idea. Good looking model with a particularly nice chin line. Good job not letting the cube press down on the hair. I assume it's attached with a fishing line or something.

I love this portrait, I think it's a beautiful pic of a lovely gal and the color of the cube really pops. Well done.
