Step 1

Open a new file, in this case I used 940x 1200 pixels, since the image is just a portrait, that resolution is great.

Step 2

Let’s select the models skin with the lasso tool. Don’t worry about been perfect cause then you can use the eraser in the edges of the image.

Step 3

After the selection is made you have to press CTRL + J to duplicate the skin. So then you are gonna have a new layer like this:

Step 4

Then you have to apply a surface blur filter, to make the skin softer. For this you have to go to Filter -> Blur -> surface blur-> and then add 8 for radius and for threshold.

Step 5

Then desatured the skin’s layer a little bit like -30%. Press CTRL + U to see the menu.

Step 7

After removing all those imperfections, use the lasso tool to select the model’s lips, and duplicate the layer pressing CTRL + J. Remember that doesn’t matter if it not perfect you can always used the eraser close to the edges.

Step 8

In the layer you duplicate apply multiply with 50% of opacity and 80% of fill, to make the lips darker.

Now we are going to work in the eyes. Go to the layer of the model’s skin and select the eyes with lasso tool then duplicate the layer CTRL + J.

Step 11

Press ctrl + u to change the color of the eyes. I used hue at 200 to make the eyes blue.

---

Step 12

Duplicate the eye’s layer and use the layer in color dodge option at 70% of opacity to achieve this look.

To do the blush I created a new layer and paint the model’s cheeks with a soft brush, using a pink tone.

---

Step 14

Apply Gaussian blur filter at 60% to make the blush look more natural.

---

Step 15

Put the layer in multiply with 50% of opacity and 80% of fill.

Step 16

To make the model’s makeup I apply blue eye shadows. So to make this create a new layer, press shift+crtl+N. then choose a dark blue violet in the palette, and paint the models eye with a soft brush.

---

Step 17

Apply Gaussian blur filter with a 8.0 radius. and then put the layer in multiply. you can choose to make the eyeshadow look darker or softer changing the opacity of the layer as you prefer.
