How to Brighten Face in Photoshop

Here is a tutorial on how to whitening the skin or Brighten Face in Photoshop. The first step is to duplicate the Background layer and then make a selection using your favorite selection tool. For this tutorial, I will use the Quick Selection Tool and Lasso Tool. After finished making the selection, create a mask. Furthermore, please apply the adjustment levels, curves, hue/saturation, black & white, and color balance, to get a natural and white skin color. To remove color on the eyebrows you can use the Brush Tool.
