Guy - Before & After
When I first submitted the photograph into Lightroom, I immediately adjusted the white balance as he was very yellow in the original image. After using the white balance tool, I moved on to whitening his teeth using the teeth whitening tool. Using that same tool, I went in on the whites of his eyes to make them appear whiter and smoother. Once I was done that, I continued to take out some of the pink in his cheeks. I brought up the feathering, flow and saturation a bit on the teeth whitening tool and went in on his cheeks. Then I decided that I wanted his eyes to be bluer, I used the iris enhancer tool to chance the temperature and saturation on his iris', making them more blue.
After I was done all this, I moved on to the spot removal tool which I used a lot. I began by adjusting a misplaced eyebrow hair and continued to try to balance out his eyebrow shape a little more. Once I was done with the eyebrows, I began to get rid of any small pimples or moles on his forehead, then cheeks, then chin, and finally his neck. When I was done with that, I finished by getting rid of the wrinkles around his eyebrows.

Lady - Before & After
Before doing anything else, I started out adjusting the white balance of the image by using the white balance tool and finding a medium grey in the image. I then used the spot removal tool and removed all her blemishes starting with her forehead, then nose, cheeks, chin, and neck. Afterwards, I used the skin softening tool, lowered the sharpness and clarity, and went over her skin to give her skin a smoother and poreless appearance. I used the shadow tool next and got rid of her under eye bags. Then I went over it with the skin softening tool so it's not harsh. I returned to the shadow tool and went over her forehead, cheekbones, nose, and jawline, to contour her face and return some of the shape that was there before all the smoothing. Then I used the highlight tool and went over her cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose to brighten the areas. Afterwards I used the saturation tool to lighten the pink hue in her lips. Finally, I used the burn tool to darken her pupils, add in false eyelashes, and fill in the bald spots of her eyebrows.
