Very lovely candid portrait indeed! Attila, since eyelids, lashes (ie mascara) and brows are put on after stuff like foundation and concealer, most of what's necessary to make her complexion smooth has already been done, thus the no-more-makeup-needed look. Knowing Rob's recent work she's a burlesque performer, so makeup specifically for that intent would be next; colour, blush, and such.
Also, simply converting to B&W solves a lot of retouching issues. Especially so if you employ a red filter in the conversion. One of the most important reasons to retouch skin is to remove blotchy skin tones and hide reddish blemishes. Doing a red filtered black and white conversion removes all those issues for you free. I'm convinced many portrait photographers swear by black and white for that reason alone.
