MAYBELLINE - SKIN WORKS | BEFORE & AFTER 1A
Extensive work on this closeup. Removed blemishes, pimples, complexion's unevenness, dark spots from the skin, and a little bit of work on the eye, Significantly reduced the coarseness of the skin pores/pattern on the cheeks while maintaining texture. Clients had wished for reducing the roughness ("Orange peel effect") on the cheeks area. I could not steal skin texture from any other plates, so I developed a technique to make the skin pores much finer/smaller for a younger looking skin. Removed the clumps from the lower eye-lash, tidied up the area around the corner and under the eye (camera right), fixed uneven skin tones, etc. All the work had to be ridden/racked to conform to the constantly varying and shallow camera focal range on the face due to the nature of the shot and the lens used. As good as the web video algorithms are these days, still due to the unavoidable compression, care that I had taken in preserving the skin texture/detail is getting lost in the video above and is looking a bit soft (specially in the first freeze frame comparison), so please click on any of the high resolution stills below to launch the LightBox for a closer look. But for critical evaluation and for the closest representation of the actual delivered work, please check out the uncompressed, full resolution stills (uncompressed TIFF files/images) further down the page, thanks.

The TIFF files/images (adjacent links to the right) were directly pulled from the system (Flame), from the work/project. To maintain the integrity of the work performed and to preserve the color fidelity, these images have not been tampered with in any way. Therefore when viewed on a broadcast or computer monitor, or on a laptop screen, the images will appear exactly as delivered. But since the screens on mobile devices may use a different color space, these images may not appear with proper and the intended color on mobile phones and tablets, etc. The Hi-Rez images above for the light box however will appear fine on the hand-held mobile devices as the color profile of the images above have been appropriately optimized for the web and hand-held mobile devices.
