Moisturize and sunblock EVERY DAY. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I would hope that the skin stuff goes like this-
Model doesnt want MUA to have too much to balance, blend and coverup to make her look good
MUA doesnt want the photographer to have to get TOO creative with angles and lighting to make the model look good.
Photographer wants to be able to press a button and get a beautiful image without HAVING to play with all of the cool functions of photoshop.

Of course, the fuzzy, surreal look has its place, as does a rough porous look.

If a picture is going in my portfolio that could get me jobs- I want people to see me- not what someone else can do with photoshop.

If the picture is going to my boyfriend or husband overseas in a care package- give me every lighting, photoshop and makeup technique and make me look as flawless and inhumanly beautiful as possible!!

That's my take. Im not a photographer, but i know what i like when i see it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
