Original Shot
The overhead office lights provide enough light to make an exposure but you can see they have a very unflattering effect on the subject. Her eyes are nearly lost in shadows, her forehead is the brightest part of her face, and there is a long shadow under her nose.

Final Shots
Notice that the nose shadow is much less defined in the image on the right. Overall the lighting has a smoother appearance. The hair light puts a more subtle shine on her hair. The image has less contrast but there is still enough difference between the Key and Fill lights to show the contours of her face. Both are attractive images, and the difference is a matter of personal preference.
