Actually, the lighting looks different, the color balance, or in the latter pic looks a bit flat and “flourescent” that makes anybody look bad, or at least worse.
Getting old sucks, tho consider the alternative...
I wasn’t sure about the 2nd being flourescent ,, both looked “studio” to me which implies the lighting is unchanged ,, there aren’t many clues to get color temp from in both shots for a comparison .. first LOOKS hotter/whiter ,, 2nd-after shot looks more natural .. earring isn’t washed out, skin not washed out,, the teeth (if smiling) would have told us the story.. the after shot is flatter indicating a longer focal length ..
