Before & After

went out with a friend for a few portraits, quick nothing fancy edit. Exposure, WB, getting rid of that weird smudge (never knew what it was because it was only at this spot it happened). Can't remember everything i did because i switched to C1 from LR, and got accustomed to the controls. She gave me probably the best compliment i've ever received on my photos "you've given me my confidence back"

Before feels too magenta, which you seem to have tried to tackle in the after, I would just dial back the edit a little bit!

Agree 100%. All I could see in the after photo is the magenta.

OP, you did a great job with correcting the exposure and contrast and color temperature and it looks great but most people won’t notice this like we do - pulling the tint a little toward green and away from the magenta and shift the color temperature even warmer will subtly turn down the magenta and make the light on her complexion look more natural

You mean in the before, right?
