I thought it would be interesting to hear people's opinion on this since so many people do it differently....


Which do you prefer?

Airbrushed smooth skin or natural textured skin?

I like airbrushed look with a hint of natural.
I want for the skin to look airbrushed and smooth but I want to still see the pores.

Do I make sense?

+1. You make sense, yes. If not, I still get it.

I like the skin to look as if it was 2-hour-careful-MUA's airbrush, not 15-minute-sloppy-photochopping airbrush. If the model's skin looks perfect after little touchups here and there, then leave it alone. wink

I like where all the pores seem to be one constant small size .
That is unnatural but it looks good.
