BASIC WOMEN’S RETOUCH


The basic process of retouching women requires a
bit more finessing and can be done by following the
same basic steps as retouching men. Women defi-
nitely require a little more work when it comes to eve-
ning out the skin. Below are the steps that differ from
retouching men. Keep these extra nuances in mind
when retouching women.

Step Two: In addition to removing blemishes, also
look to see if there are any flyaway hairs that can easily
be worked out using the Clone Stamp tool with a high
Opacity, the Healing Brush, or the Patch tool. Only work
the hairs that are easily fixable. It doesn’t have to be
perfect by any means. If it isn’t an easy fix and starts
to get blurry, click Command-Z (PC: Ctrl-Z) to quickly
undo and try again.

Steps Eight and Nine: When blending the skin tone
while working in frequency separation, pay extra atten-
tion to the blending of the makeup as well as the neck
area. The smoother the transition in tones, the better.
These areas will most likely require the combination of
the Healing Brush, Patch tool, Brush, and Clone Stamp.
