Original image
step 1 of 10
Removed the makeup on the source image.

step 7 of 10
Used the liquify tool to 'bloat' some of the parts of the face for a better 3d effect.
step 8 of 10
Here I sharpened the image. Firstly I did a bit of "Dodge'ing" on the eyes to make them stand out a bit more.
Secondly I duplicated the layer, rendered high-pass, changed the blending mode to hard light.
Gives the image a very sharp look.
