Face correction is perhaps the most common request from users for photo editing. It is a natural desire for a person to want to look good, which is why we are all so demanding of our reflection in the mirror and how we appear in photos. And while it's harder to influence our reflection in the mirror, photo editing is an excellent tool for enhancing appearance in the hands of an experienced photo retoucher.

Face correction in the photo: what tools are worth mastering?

From the variety of plugins and applications for retouching faces, professional photo retouchers prefer Adobe Photoshop. There are basic Photoshop tools that can be used in face retouching. These include the healing brush, clone stamp, patch tool, mixer brush, and liquify. Hi-end and beauty retouching specialists also utilize frequency separation and dodging and burning. Such methods require deeper knowledge and skills. Frequency separation smoothens the skin and evens out its tone while dodging and burning edits facial imperfections almost pixel by pixel. When performing facial correction in a photo editor, it's important to work on the color and texture of the skin and define the light and shadow pattern. This will enhance facial features, amplify makeup, and conceal skin flaws.

Face correction in Photoshop: the main stages of retouching

So, you've decided to start retouching the face in the photo by yourself. You have a photo editor open in front of you, a few hours of time, and a lot of patience. We recommend proceeding in the following sequence:

• The first stage of any retouching process is adjusting the brightness and contrast of the photo, white balance, exposure, and color correction. Without these nuances, the photo won't look flawless, and only after completing this stage, you can begin the actual retouching.
• Editing proportions. If necessary, eliminate facial and head asymmetry, change the shape of the ears and nose, and adjust neck length.
• Working with the skin. Remove noticeable defects such as pimples, large pores, excess hair, scratches, scars, under-eye circles, wrinkles, oily shine, and extra pores. If there are freckles on the skin, adjust their saturation (not the quantity – you can adjust their intensity). Even out the overall tone of the face and achieve a matte skin texture.
• Eyebrows and eyelashes. Give them the right shape, length, and thickness. It's better to remove excess hairs and add missing ones.
• Eyes. Brighten the whites of the eyes and add a sparkle to them. After such retouching, the eyes become more expressive, and the gaze gains depth.
• Lips and teeth. Give the lips the desired color and the teeth a whiter appearance.
• Makeup and hairstyle. Adding makeup to a photo is not a very common task. But if the situation calls for it, the retoucher will have to put in effort. Even natural-looking makeup requires significant effort, not less than vibrant studio makeup. A more common task is to fix makeup in a photo and remove defects like smeared lipstick or smudged mascara. As for the hairstyle, it's necessary to give the hair a well-groomed appearance and, if appropriate, add shine.
