Photoshop Tips: Tan Skin Tone
Oct 30, 2006 28 Comments
Someone emailed me and asked how to make the golden/tan skin tone as seen in many movie posters and magazine advertisements. Believe it or not, the effect can be achieved by just couple mouse clicks. Here is a quick Photoshop tutorial to show you how to make a tan skin tone effect and apply makeups on the model. Let’s take a look at the image below, the left image is original photo and the right is final image.
Before & After
1. Overlay Layer
Open the original document that you want to apply the effect. Go to Layer > Duplicate Layer (or press Cmd + J) to duplicate the original layer. Set the duplicated layer Blending mode to Overlay. Then adjust the Opacity to 70%. The Opacity may be vary, depend on the brightness and color of your original photo source.
2. Highlight Spots
Select the original layer. Choose the Brush tool, set brush Size = 200px, Mode = Color Dodge and Opacity = 10%. Use the Eyedropper tool to pick a sample skin color from the image (Option+Click on the image). Gently brush on the areas that you want to be shine.
3. Eyeshadow
Make a selection around the eyelid, go to Selection > Feather (Cmd+Option+D) to feather the selection by 5px. Make a new layer and fill the selection with a light pink color. Then set the blending mode to Hue.
Make another selection slightly smaller than the pink layer. Again, feather it by 5px. Fill it with a blue purple color and set the blending mode to Darken.
4. Eyeliner
Make a selection of the eyeliner. Feather it by 3px. Make a new layer. Use the Gradient tool (pick a green color, select Foreground to Transparent), then drag from the lower corner to the upper corner of the selection. Adjust the blending mode to Multiply.
Final
Use the same technique to finish off the left eye. You may also use this technique to apply the color of the lip, blush, etc.

Using your methods…
The Photoshop procedures are good, but,
The model went from a human being to a plastic mannequin.
Seems to work if an orange effect is wanted.
If I saw a person on the beach turn that color I would call an EMT.

The Vuitton 2022 early spring show came to the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2022 show. Of course, Louis Vuitton chose a surprising location to showcase its latest series. The performance is located in Ax Majeur on the outskirts of the French capital, a 3.2 km long straight path.

To sum up, aj5 white cement has poor workmanship, inappropriate materials, beautiful color matching but not classic, and the price is OK. It depends on whether you like it or not. Next time, I’d like to introduce my favorite pair of AJ shoes.
