What does facial retouching mean?

Facial retouching is editing blemishes, smeared makeup, etc… I will also brighten your eyes and whiten your teeth a tad if we have some yellowy lighting. This editing will look natural, not like a filter. However, if these are senior pictures for example, you don’t want to forever remember the breakout that showed up the week of. We just clean it up a bit. This also is very time consuming, so it is the reason I limit my edits a bit more. More time goes into each edit, it’s not just slapping on a preset.
