Assistance with this picture please

I just recently started using Photoshop and everytime I try to blend out the glasses I always seem to get a somewhat distinct fade at the areas where you can tell I tried to PS over them. I normally would just keep at it until I got it but I'm trying every which way to get it right before Monday which is a strain with the upcoming deployment checklist I need to finish as well. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Welcome.

Are you trying to remove the reflections from the glass lenses or are you trying to remove both the frame and the lenses?

If it's the latter, it's going to take a good bit of effort to get it to look good.

Finally, when making a change like this, often, it upsets relatives who are used to the subject wearing glasses. Have you factored this into your decision to remove them?

Removing the frame and lenses. That part isn't too hard but the blending skin/hair color etc isn't my forte yet

I agree with Tom's thoughts, but i did have a go and as Tom said it is a very long process to get it perfect or as near as, this was literally ten minutes.
