Amusing. That almost nothing like how I do my mannequin manips. I usually take the base image and use the selection tool to create a selection that includes the subject's skin, excluding lips, fingernails, and eyes. Use the Selection To Path function to store the "selection". Under paths I name the resulting path "skin". Next I copy paste the skin to a new layer. That layer get color "corrected" using hue/saturation to lighten the skin and reduce the saturation +30/-50 works with well lit images. Less extreme modifications for poorer lighting.

Next step is to smooth out the skin, use Path to Selection to turn the selection tool back on. Then use the airbrush with 25% brush and opacity around 50% to smooth out the skin (use the color drop tool to keep the color similar to the surrounding area. In this step, I reduce wrinkles, sags, harsh skin stretching due to the way muscles work (esp. around the neck), etc.

New layer, switch pure white and pure black, continuing to air brush, add highlights and lowlights. Mannequin skin is shiny.

New layer, using the path tool, create arcs for whatever separation points exist. Set the pencil tool to 1 px, 100% opacity 100% brush. Stroke the path with white. Select the move tool and move the path 1 px up (or in the opposite direction of the major light source of the image) and stroke the path again in black. Next stroke the path with Convolve (at about 5 px wide 25% opacity). Repeat until the separation point looks "right". Sometime I need to do this by hand.

Finally touch up "makeup" and that's about it.

Lately I'm a bit obsession with adding stands to the manips. Working them in requires layer masks.

Ohhh man, i was trying to follow the tutorial, it's really hard   I am bad in English, because I am Brazilian and I am still learning, i made to step "Brush" and "Airbrush", something like this, so I got confused when translating the tutorial as it did not understand much   hahahaah.

This is my first time using GIMP, so I'm taking a beating hahaha ^.^ But, i learned a lot about Photoshop, and i will learn about GIMP
Thank you for giving me this great opportunity to learn, you are an excellent instructor / teacher  

Good night o/
