Used a new team of processes for the 1st time, which includes Frequency Separation and I'm looking for perspective. Did I got too far, not do something, need to improve something????

I think you  have lost too much texture with this one.

Must think about what purpose of photograph is. Did they want a 20-something model but could not get one so make 40- or 50-something look 20? If so, then maybe.

Usually older portrait needs to look close to age. Ten years younger is OK - if you've done something that could have been done with lighting. Too much and you get into making it look like an old portrait of them, not an updated one. Or friends going to think they had plastic surgery.

Get older women to look healthy - color good. Do not remove all wrinkles when they have a lot or deep, as this one does! Unless they say that is what they want. But try reducing first. Some will be very offended if you whitewash their face.
