I cant be more grateful!

I use mostly a combination of healing brushes and magic wands, never really knew how the masking worked.

Thanks you so much!!

Actually I did not do anything to the lips. Should have... Should have...

No, I was using the AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D. The softness is intentional because May is very gentle and soft spoken. The softness hopefully brings out her character a bit.
