Air Brushing
So you want to look like one of those underwear models with perfect skin? Well... considering that they're all airbrushed, that'll be easy as pie!

Open the image that you want to work with and copy and paste it into a new document.
Here we're going to work with a very tired looking Mila Jovovich.
Larger image here.

We're going to start with her skin so grab your Colour Dropper and select a nice even shade of her skin.
The colour I select is #DCB1A1 which is in the region under her right eye (our left).

Now, take your Fuzzy Brush at a setting of your choice, I'm going to be working with 15, set it's Opacity at 45% and select the Air Brush.

Carefully brush over her face staying clear of the eyes, eyebrows, nostrils, lips and hairline.
Try and do this in one clean movement because the low opacity of the brush can give the effect some streaks or
just make it one solid colour.

Here's the face all done... She's already starting to look better :D

This is now the fun part! We're going to become makup artists!
Do the same as the face and select a colour for the eye shadow and pass over the eye lid and under the eyebrow.
We don't want it too dark; we just want to enhance the colour that is already there.

Of course, you could always change the colour of her makeup too...

... make it tacky

... make it sexy

... make it different

... and even evening smokey wear!

You can do anything else here; eye colour, whites of the eyes, teeth, lips... anything!
But don't forget to do her neck! For a bigger version of the final picture go here
