Photoshop fix for greasy face!

[abm234]

I got my haircut today and so decide to take a Project Love Me photo with my son. I might have gotten stuck at about week 2 but better late than never right?

Anyways, my face is incredibly greasy in the photos! There has got to be a photoshop version of cosmetic powder, right? How do you do that?

Well first of all there is portraiture which is a plug in that costs $$ and does it very quickly and many use it professionally. Since I'm pretty sure you are not wanting to invest in that unless you do a lot of this...

add a layer, select a soft round brush set to 20% opacity, select a color of your skin near the shiny area. Paint on the color slowly to matte the area. I usually go a little heavy and then reduce the layer opacity later.

I do this all the time for shiny noses in my studio!
