Remember you can use opacity to help make it look more realistic. You can sample a desired blush color from subject’s face (for a natural look) and paint the blush gently (low flow) on the tops of the cheeks.
Paint just above lip and on chin (this strengthens chin).Īdd blush. Paint again along the side of the nose to help narrow the nose. 
Paint highlights with soft edge brush in a “triangle shaped motion” under the eyes.

Again create another layer mask using channels just like you did in the skin smoothing. Once again sample subject’s face in the lighter area of the face. Use low “flow” settings so that you gradually layer the color on. Using a soft edge brush paint in color under cheekbone along the jawline. We use this color to contour (create shadows) the face to accent cheek bones. This helps prevent accidentally using too dark a color. You can also use the actual sampled color and then change the blend mode to “multiply”. Just sample subject’s face near the cheek and then move the color selection darker. Pick a slightly darker shade than subject’s natural skin tone. The object here is to modify structure and shape to a face. The layer (created by the channel selection) help us to keep the “true” texture of the face since we are only painting this color on the lighter parts of the skin. Be sure to keep re-sampling the color often as the color tone changes around the face. Then using pressure sensitive pen (if you have one) and very soft brush (make sure to set your brush options to “pen pressure”, paint away at the face in the new layer (paint on the layer not the layer mask). Make a sample color of the skin with the eyedropper. Now back in layers palette, create a blank layer mask using the selection from the channel. 
Load that channel as active selection (cntrl click thumbnail). Look for the channel with the best skin texture. For light blemished you would change your mode to “darken”. For dark spots you can set mode to “lighten”, this help to save detail which surrounds the dark spot. Use spot healing brush with “content aware” feature checked. I find that the best way to learn is dive in head first above your skill set. If your not already familiar with the major tools you might get a bit lost. Note: the tips below assume a working knowledge of Photoshop on your part. Be sure to continue to research and develop an arsenal of techniques in your repertoire since different techniques work best in varying circumstance. Please note that these tutorial techniques shown below are far from a complete list of options for tackling these issues. 
As with anything in Photoshop, there are a hundred variations on these techniques, but to get the basic concept down, just grab a portrait of yourself and follow along with the advice below. The following article gives you some basic touch up techniques for skin, eyes, lips and teeth that result in very realistic natural looking images. However, all too often the touch up artist takes things too far, either by choice or more often becuase they simply don’t know the techniques for doing natural touch up work in Photoshop. Photoshop of course is an amazing way to do touch up work on portrait photography.
