Tips for using nose masks

xitneverendss

So I just recently discovered the magic of nose masks. They are seriously wonderful. But a lot of the times the skin tone doesn't match and I have a hard time getting it to. Any nose mask pros out there who know some tricks?

Euhm...just recolour the thing? Just do some stuff with that. And the opacity slider of course.

Lol yah, I got that obviously, I was just wondering if anyone had tips on making matching up the color any easier. Thanks though.

I'm sorry, I use nosemasks sometimes and honestly, I don't have any problem with it...I just recolour it until it is okay and change the opacity. Once you do that, I don't think there are any more tips.

Lol when I saw the title I thought about pore strips for some reason.

Anyway, on topic, I usually make my nose masks initially white. Then I change it little by little to match the skin tone. I find that if it is slightly lighter/less saturated, it usually looks fine, but if its darker than the skin it just looks weird. Also use opacity slider.

Mmmh, well I find that depending on the tone ramp of the skin, you have to usually use a pink, orange or kinda yellow color (of course this doesn't apply to fantasy skin colors like the rainbow tone ramp), if the skin it's in the pale side, then the color I'll use it's the palest I can get without losing the hue, with the slider for light/dark in the middle or more to the right side (as in the darker side) and from there it's just a matter of playing with the opacity.
The darker the skin the more saturation the base color I use, sometimes it is a really dark orange but with a lower opacity, so it really looks like some type of subtle shadowing.

Sorry if I'm saying something that you actually know how to do, but it's the only thing I could thought of sharing as some form of tip.

Thanks guys, your tips really were helpful! I guess in the end though, it just takes extra effort if you want to use them.
