How to get highly polished skin?

[JMC77]

Hi Shellby, congratulations on the new job! And thanks for getting this thread started. It really provides a lot of useful information for a newbie like me and, apparently, for everyone else as well.

Can't wait to try out some of the techniques discussed.

one question please:

sarah silvers pictures look awesome.
the skin tones dont look red or yellow, just little desaturated and really smooth BROWN. is that retouched or "real" ?

is "broncolor" a sort of light?

thx

Yes, looks like it is a lighting system:

Sarah Silver uses the broncolor beauty dish..i emailed her last year and thats what she told me. She also does workshops

The Broncolor beauty dish is a light modifier, it doesn't alter skin color. It just softens the quality of light.

The skin color is probably a combination of makeup and post-process work. Try desaturating individual colors in a hue/sat adjustment layer. Play around in Selective Color also.
