With this tutorial i show you a new way to make your portrait skin
become perfect naturally like a model without using any extra plugins. You will know about a technique you may never use before.
1. Duplicate your pic. Her skin does not have many blemishes so i just
use Spot healing brush tool to remove them on a new blank layer. You can
refer how to use it from my previous photoshop retouching tutorials or
on internet. Here is the result:
2. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E. Apply Unsharp Mask:
Add layer mask to erase the hair.
3. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E again. Use Retangular Marquee tool to draw a selection like the pic below:
( you should choose the skin that looks best)
Hit Ctrl+C to copy and then Ctrl+V to paste into a new layer. Choose
Filter- Pattern maker ( this filter is just in CS2, CS3 but if you use
different versions you can download plugin for it or Define pattern for
the skin area we just copy then apply Pattern in Blending options or New fill Pattern layer) Grab a selection around the skin area and adjust parameters as below:
Then hit OK.
We will have:
Lower opacity to 40%, then add layer mask to erase the hair,nose holes,
ears, eyes, eyelid, eyebrows, lips, necklace, background:
4. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E. Apply Smart Sharpen:
Add layer mask to erase too sharp parts ( eyes, hair, lips, nose...)
5. Create a new blank layer, use soft brush, color 995d43 to paint on eyelids, set this layer to Color Burn 20%.
6. New layer again, soft brush with color e5a78a paint on the lips, set to soft light 100%.
7. New layer with soft white brush painting on teeth, set to Soft light 50%.
8. New layer and set to soft light:
Use Burn tool with Shadow range, 12% to darken the cheeks and Dodge Tool, High light range, 12% to brighten the eyes and nose bridge.

Good tutorial from you again....I have few suggestion for your titles. You can use service name in title like retouching, color correction and image manipulation.
For example:Create a model look with naturally perfect skin, this can be used as
Retouching a image to create model look with natural perfect skin.
Most of the internet user search for the service or tutorial for image manipulation services. I you do this you will get more number of hits and your site will gain good rank in organic search.
Try this from your next title.
Thanks

Hi Jenny, I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 and I stuck right at step 3 "Choose Filter- Pattern maker"! There is noway to use pattern define in CS6 to create the skin pattern like you did in this tutorial. After create the square selection and use Pattern Define to add it the pattern library, then create a new fill layer, apply the pattern, it end up with a lot of big square box fill on over the layer. Any suggestion?
