Although natural beauty exists, rarely does it exist in portrait photography without a little makeup. In Creating Digital Makeup Effects in Photoshop CS5, digital artist Corey Barker takes an innovative approach by teaming up with professional hair and makeup artist, Shelley Giard to create real professional makeup looks directly in Photoshop. After watching Corey’s class, not only will you be able to build a realistic makeup effect on an unmade face, but you will also be able to correct common makeup mistakes and enhance an already-made-up face with a more glamorous look. Plus, you will even pick up a tip or two to use in real-life situations when a real makeup artist is not available or in the budget. It is like two classes in one! Includes downloadble brush and color palettes for you to use.

  1. Introduction (02:17) Corey Barker introduces professional hair and makeup artist, Shelley Giard.
  2. Blemish Removal and Skin Smoothing (13:14) This first step in digital makeup is the equivalent to concealer or foundation in a real makeup bag.
  3. Contouring And Highlighting (12:47) Creating the desirable oval face with shadows and highlights while matching the skin tone in Photoshop, then adding blush.
  4. Eye Shadow (08:28) Make close-set eyes look further apart with eye shadow applied in the right place.
  5. Eyeliner and Eye Fixes (13:18) Cleaning up two most common problems- spilled, uneven eye shadow and spotty, smudgy liquid eyeliner.
  6. Eyebrow Fixes (14:24) Creating natural-looking enhancements on light brows. Plus, who needs tweezers when there's Puppet Warp?
  7. Eyelashes (08:39) Corey uses custom brushes he created for you to bend and warp into shape to conform to any eye. Easier to apply than fake eyelashes!
  8. Lips (10:15) Shaping, plumping, and glossing the lips. Creating a Cupid's Bow.
  9. Teeth (11:26) Corey draws from one of Shelley's pet peeves and performs tooth highlighting through finger painting. Plus, subtle tooth whitening and reshaping.
  10. Hair (13:13) Addressing issues such as stray locks and the effects of lights on bleached blondes. Plus, Corey gets rid of flyaways with refine edge to keep it looking natural.
  11. Glamour Effects 1 - Smokey Eye (11:34) After a bonus eyebrow tip, Corey builds a more glamorous look on top of an already-made-up model to get a completely different, and more dramatic look in the photo.
  12. Glamour Effects 2 - Fantasy Eye (11:30) Corey shifts the focus from a more practical application to a wilder "fantasy" look. Plus, learn how to create shimmering gold eye shadow.
  13. Glamour Effects 3 - Hair Extensions (07:23) Add more hair for a fuller look.
  14. Small Details (18:17) Accessories are sometimes an afterthought and jewelry is expensive. Good thing there's stock photography and Photoshop!
  15. Before and After (07:20) Final review of the entire lesson. Learn more about Shelley Giard at: http://www.shelleygiard.com/
  16. Bonus Class - Full Photo Fix Part 1 (12:36) Shelley purposefully creates a bad makeup job, from coloring to hair, for Corey to fix from start to finish. Corey begins with blemish removal, skin smoothing, contouring and highlighting
  17. Bonus Class - Full Photo Fix Part 2 (17:46) Corey continues with the eye shadow color to better match the eyes and then fixes a very common problem - clumpy mascara. Then, he finishes the complete look with the lips and hair.
