hey everyone Jessica Cooper here and
today's video I'm going to be showing
you guys how to enhance makeup and
Photoshop so if your makeup artist or a
photographer and you're looking to
enhance you know your eye makeup I'm
going to show you exactly how to do it
it's really simple so the first thing
that we're going to do is make sure that
we have a new layer so we can begin
editing on that so go to command shift
the end and I'm going to name this eye
shadow now I thought I was going to
spell it wrong but I caught myself
because you know I won the Spelling Bee
in the fifth grade so I have a
reputation to maintain so the first
thing that I'm going to do is I'm
actually going to be enhancing her eye
shadow and you know if you have a
different color all you have to do is
just hold the Alt key and sample a color
that you want to enhance so this rosy
color is the color that I'm going to
enhance and I'm using the brush tool and
it's a basic round brush your percent
hardness my pasty is going to stay at
17% you can toggle this I like to toggle
it while I'm working and we're going to
go from normal to overlay and for now
I'm going to just go over that color
just to enhance and as you can see it is
getting a little bit more saturated
which is exactly what we want and
depending on how crazy you want this you
can higher the opacity lower the opacity
depends depending on how you're feeling
you know you're feeling a little feisty
you can just go the whole 100 and you
know what let's just do that why not
right look at this okay that's a little
much
so again I'm just doing 22 percent for
now and going over at that and I
actually asked the model to specifically
use this color I was forcing Janelle and
like to use more pink because I love
pink so I think this is looking pretty
good and you can always lower the
opacity if you don't want it to be too
intense but look at the big difference
that made already so the next thing that
we're going to do is enhance that
mascara so I'm going to make another
layer
call it mascara or mascara as they say
enough England you know my British
friends out there and I'm going to go
from normal to soft light and again
really low opacity and you're just kind
of brushing along that line you don't
want to do too much you just want to do
you want to do it very subtle so if you
add on then it's going to look a little
bit more natural but if you go like the
full hundred percent like look what it's
going to do and it's going to start
looking fake so again start at a low
opacity and then work your way
I think that's looking pretty good and
look at that we just enhanced it just a
tiny bit and the next thing that we're
going to do is work on the eyes so using
the black and white default colors we
are going to make a new layer I'm gonna
call this eyes now I'm going to be using
my white color first going from normal
to overlay we are going to use a white
brush and go around her eye the inside
of the eye see how it makes like I have
donut so just trace the donut I love da
not just us anyone wants to bring me
some again we're just going around this
area but I'm going to do too much and
the next thing that I'm going to do is
switch over to that black color by
pressing X on my keyboard and then
tracing the border of her I am not using
scientific terms because yeah I don't
want someone to like look at a bungalow
and be like that's wrong because I'm an
artist go I do like science and color in
the inside over her eyes as well look at
look at what that just did one thing you
don't want to do is you white and I see
a lot of photographers do this a color
in this area and it just looks look at
this looks horrible so just keep it
natural even if she has some red stuff I
mean who the veins it doesn't matter
it's natural just keep it in there now
we're going to highlight the rest of her
eye
so make another layer and call it
highlight and we're going to go from
normal to soft light now what you're
going to do now is use the white color
to enhance highlights and then the black
color to dark and shadows so again go
going over all the lighter parts of her
eye I'm going to be using white for
instance going over her waterline using
white
and then darkening the shadows I'm going
to be using the black we're just
darkening up this area right here
and also what you could do is make
another layer and actually just
highlight her skin again using that same
technique normal to soft light and then
you can highlight the rest of her face
so again all those light areas you use
white and then all the darker areas for
using black but that's just something
extra and the very last thing that we're
going to do to enhance the color is go
from is go to layer new adjustment layer
and then vibrance and we're going to
higher up that vibrance just to bring
the colors out a little bit more now
just one final step to solidify this we
want to sharpen up the eyes so press
command alt shift E and it took me a
while to memorize that you know so I'm
kind of proud so what we want to do now
is go to the sharpen tool right here and
by the way the thing that we just did
that whole mess of commands actually
made a copy of everything that we've
done so far and again using our sharpen
sharpen tool we are going to go slightly
over the eye and add a strength of 22
percent so we're just sharpening my so
if your makeup artist and you want the
eyes to pop more than the rest of the
face this would be a great thing to do I
normally would sharpen the whole image
but again if you want to sharpen just
specific parts of your your photo then
this would be a great swell but don't
over sharpen it and that looks pretty
good to me so let me show you guys a
complete before and after so that is
before that's after that's before and
that's after
I hope these tips were helpful to you
thank you guys so much for watching
you
