CC: Ever wondered how to get creamy skin tones? This is my secret for getting super creamy skin tones in your photos.
– So the first thing you’re gonna wanna do is open Lightroom. You can see here I have Lightroom Mobile open, but this works on Lightroom Desktop as well. Then, you’re gonna wanna open the tone curves. Make sure you’re not in the RGB tone curves. But, just open this exposure curve tone.
– Before I show you this trick let me briefly explain to you what the tone curve does so you can understand what we’re doing. So basically the exposure tone curve controls the lights and darks in the image and you are able to manipulate which areas of the photo become lighter and darker so at the very bottom of the tone curve we have blacks and shadows. The middle area is mid tones and then we have highlights and whites.
– So to do this creamy skin tone trick you’re gonna wanna start by having these 3 points on your tone curve (as shown in video) and my trick is to take this middle point and drag it upward and what we’re doing is we’re adding brightness to the mid tones of the photo. That’s gonna create a really creamy look to your skin tones. You can also take this middle point and you can just drag it down a little bit or drag it up depending on the skin tone. Remember that every skin tone is different so this point might need to be a little down or up, just depending.
– Here’s the before and here’s the after!

my secret for super creamy poop
You definitely needed a better a curve to that to really achieve the smoothness. The shadows were too saturated and dark imo
Ru sure about this? What if the face is not lit up like that…
She doesn't even know what shes doing herself 😂

Isolating and raising the mids. I needed this.📸⚓️
if you want to achieve that dreamy look.. bring down the texture and clarity-by 5-20, it'll give that soft skin and bloomy look
Thanks for explaining what the tool does 😊
I hate how you say “creamy”.
There's a million better ways to fix skin tones directly in Lightroom without having to just lift the midtones of the entire image.
I want my minute back
Also, I film makeup videos. Can you suggest a lens for beauty videos and also a lenses for clothing try on videos. Do I need difference lenses or do you think my settings are wrong? Thank you!
