I usually have two different ways to do my makeup pics. I either just use contrast or then I do colour correctioning and contrast - plus I blur and hide parts of my face (blemishes, blackheads etc) if needed.
With both photo collections the first picture is the same - it's the one I get when I take it off the camera and change it to JPEG (it's RAW to start with and I can only get it to JPEG with the programme my camera had with it and too lazy to get any other one). Of course I resize the pics before starting to work on them since they are HUGE but I think most people resize their pics so that's nothing weird.
First set of photos only has contrast and hiding the imperfections (on my chin this time only).
The second set of pictures has also colour correction used after second picture.
And this is comparison between the two end pictures.
The lighter version is a lot closer to my real skintone than the yellowish left one. Also the colour correction pops the colours better and shows them how they are seen by eyes.
Most of the times I don't even bother doing this much blurring or correcting but there you go how different you can get with just under a minute of photoshopping a picture. I should've timed it but I think it took me somewhere around a minute to do the end pics, maybe less.
I usually have more blemishes showing so the chin might sometimes look way too unreal after photoshopping but I rather it look like that than letting all the spots show. And mostly the make up I want you to see is on my lips or eyes. I don't touch the eye colours by hand like blur or fill the colours. I only do the colour correction to whole photo. Same with lips so you can see my lip freckles even through some lipglosses.
This wasn't a way to teach you how to photoshop makeup pics, just how I do them to make the makeup look better and more natural than how it turns out in the original picture.
