CC on your photography/retouching (And why you shouldn't always take it seriously) Feedback/Critique

Photography & retouching feedback/constructive criticism. You sent me your images for critique, and I gave you my professional opinion & feedback on your beauty retouching and photography skills. I explain why you shouldn't always take the CC seriously, especially on internet. I touch on topics of beauty vs portrait and changing the skin colour. I also talk about frequency separation and why it's not good for skin retouching, how to local fix colour, skin colour uniformity and other small details that make or break good beauty image.
Thanks to everyone who sent over their images!
