This is probably still up to date my favorite beauty shot that I've taken.

Like most of my photos this was taken with a Sony A7r and the 85mm f1.8. While the A7r has excellent image quality, the AF was always a pain and the color grading was also funky, giving people a orange tan very often, all of which had to be dealt with to make images usable.

Making use of the large sensor, I decided to shoot at f/19 to get as much as possible in focus in the image despite being so close to the model's face. This of course meant using a lot of light on set. The different factors meant that, despite not using that harsh of a retouching, the image turned out to give a videogame-like look to her face.
