Balance under-eye shadows and complexion in a headshot

№ 38

№ The prompt

Balance the complexion on this headshot using colour and luminance only. Gently lift the dark shadows under the eyes so the subject looks less tired, calm any patchy redness on the cheeks or nose, and tone down hot shine on the forehead and nose-bridge. Do not erase a single pore, line, or blemish, do not smooth the skin, and do not change the face shape or skin colour — this is a lighting-and-tone correction, not a retouch. Keep the result clearly photographic.

№ How to use it

  • Input

    A close headshot of a synthetic or stock-style person (no real identifiable person) showing visible under-eye shadow, redness, or shine.

  • Preserve

    Every pore, line, and blemish; face shape and true skin colour. Only under-eye luminance, redness, and shine are adjusted.

  • Avoid

    Smoothing skin, erasing pores or blemishes, bleaching the under-eye to a flat patch, or shifting overall skin tone.
