Step 1: For this tutorial I first selected an image and opened in photoshop. I chose this image because I wanted an older person with more wrinkles as more of a challenge. It was difficult to make some adjustments because of how small the image was if I had to do this again I would of chose a larger image.
Step 2 |
Step 2: For this step I followed the instructions to press the Q key, then select Brush tool, usually round, with 0% hardness and desired diameter, depending on the picture. Then start ot draw the face, except the eyes, the nostrils, ears, and mouth. This step was fairly easy and already made a drastic change to the original image.
Steps 3-6 |
Steps 3-6: The next steps were easy once I figured out the technical parts of layering and using the brush tool. I just kept adding new layers for each make-up application and setting it to soft light. For the eyes I applied eyeliner with a small black brush. For the eyeshadow I added an additional layer and used a darker color because anything light wouldn't show up. This step was very similar to applying real make-up and I had to erase a few times. For the lips I wanted a subtle change and just added another layer with soft light and decreased the opacity to make it look more realistic. I used to different shades of pink and colored in the lips. I then went to menu-filter-blur-gaussian tool. I did this after each layer for a final touch.
Steps 7-8 |
Step 7-8: For the next final steps I whitened the "T" zones and applied make-up to the cheekbones. To do this I added another layer and started with the whitening of the "T" zones first. I softened the layer and decreased the opacity first then selected a hard brush. After I had the right size brush I chose a bright white and colored in the forehead, nose, under the lip, chin and cheeks. Then I went to filter-blur-gaussian tool and increased the pixels to soften the white. The next step is similar to whitening but instead its to highlight the cheekbones. To do this I added a new layer and selected a hard brush. After selecting the brush I chose a deep black and highlighted the cheekbones. Then I went to filter-blur-gaussian tool and decreased the opacity. This gave a bronze look to the cheekbones.
Step 9: This was the final step. I went to menu-image-adjustments-color balance and increased the cyan blue to +18 and decreased the red to -15. This was the final touch.

As far as difficulties I ran into I found it hard to make some adjustments because of how small the image was if I had to do this again I would of chose a larger image.
