First time correcting skin tones using scopes only. Opinions needed

No, that’s just 63 year old, too many years on a bike weather beaten skin you’re seeing ????

Since I do this strictly for myself it doesn’t pay to get calibration equipment. I’d rather put the money into a faster PC. Anyway, this is my last attempt. I downloaded some stills from one of those beautifully shot Maybelline commercials and checked out the scopes. Then tried to get them as close as possible with a still from my video. Here’s the result. And thanks again for taking time to help.

Hi,

I think most of the help you need is already provided, but instead of guessing and trying to correct for monitor shortcomings, simply get a spidyer. https://spyder.datacolor.com/

I use it all the time and I haven’t had any issues since!

Thanks, Mike, but I’m an amateur who does this for fun. If I had extra money to spend on spyder’s I would put it into a faster PC, for one thing. I realize I’m trying to do this on the cheap and I expect to get less than optimum results. I just want to get close enough, for my own satisfaction. Cheers!
