Welcome to the Skin Retouching Complete Masterclass, where you'll learn professional portrait retouching techniques used by photographers, beauty editors, fashion designers, and advertising agencies. This lesson covers everything from basic blemish removal to advanced high-end beauty retouching while preserving natural skin texture.

The course then moves into advanced techniques including Frequency Separation, allowing you to separate skin texture from skin color for smooth yet realistic skin retouching. Students will also master Dodge & Burn, the industry-standard technique used by professional retouchers to sculpt facial features, even out skin tones, and add depth without making the image look artificial. You'll learn professional eye enhancement by whitening the eyes, sharpening the iris, enhancing eyelashes, and removing redness.
