In Lightroom, use the adjustment tool. Under the custom pulldown you will see "soften skin".
i.e. Basically you are lowering the clarity.
I think in number 2 the skin looks to be a little too orange on the nose, cheeks, and forehead in a few patches. Think desaturating these spots would help.
just whatever you use please don't make her look like Barbie!! it's a pet peeve of mine.....

A painter takes their vision and makes it a reality. A photographer takes reality and makes it their vision.
I agree w/realist. The skin in shot 2 has taken on an orange cast.
