Process: (sort of)

1. selected around eyes, feathered, made a layer mask, made a copy to new layer, set to screen (for brightening the eyes)

2. selected face in a circle, feathered to 40, made a new layer set to multiply, decreased opacity (that explains the vignetting all around the face - wanted the focus to be on the eyes and nose)

3. played with dodge and burn
4. Cropped the image for symmetry
