Skin Tone LUTs — Grades Built Around the Face

Skin is the one thing a viewer can grade without knowing what grading is — a face reads wrong long before anyone can say why. These five looks are built the other way round from most packs: the face is the constant, and the rest of the frame is what changes. Real skin does not sit in one hue sector, so every grade here targets the orange and yellow bands together and narrowly, which puts the correction where faces actually are and lets it fall away before it touches a brick wall or a sunset.

BARE is the everyday pass — neutral, no cast, faces back on the skin-tone line. NECTAR is golden hour without the fake tan. COCOA is authored for medium-to-deep, melanin-rich skin, which most skin packs quietly are not: warm lift instead of blue so shadowed skin never goes ashy, the red undertone protected, and a real luminance lift so a face separates from a dark background. PORCELAIN handles fair and cool skin under window light and LED, pushing the tint off magenta and rolling highlights long so foreheads do not clip. EMULSION is the stylised one and the test of the whole pack — the frame goes to print stock while the face stays warm. Works with any footage type: pick Standard, Apple Log, DJI D-Log or D-Log M, Sony S-Log3, Panasonic V-Log, Canon C-Log3, Nikon N-Log, Fujifilm F-Log2, GoPro GP-Log, Samsung Log or HLG before downloading and the conversion is baked in.

5 grades · .cube format · one-time purchase

The pack downloads at the strength you choose. Test it on a frame of your own footage, pick 50, 70 or 100% (or anything between) and every grade is built at that strength — or set one grade at a time in the LUT Library. The look then works at your strength even in camera apps and editors with no LUT-intensity control, and pulling it back never washes out the log conversion the way an editor's mix slider does.

Every LUT in this pack

  • BARE

    LITE

    The everyday beauty pass — neutral white balance, faces put back on the skin-tone line and held there. No style imposed, no cast to argue with. Interviews, talking heads, anything that has to be believed.

  • NECTAR

    PRO

    Sun-kissed without the fake tan — warmth carried in the highlights and the split-tone rather than dumped on the whole face, and yellows pulled back so the glow reads golden instead of corn. Golden hour, beach, lifestyle, weddings.

  • COCOA

    PRO

    Built for medium-to-deep, melanin-rich skin, which most skin LUTs quietly are not. Warm lift instead of blue so shadowed skin never goes ashy, the red undertone protected rather than desaturated, and a real luminance lift on the skin band so a face separates from a dark background instead of sinking into it.

  • PORCELAIN

    PRO

    Fair and cool skin under window light, LED panels and overcast — the light that turns faces pink and blotchy. Tint pushed off magenta, reds walked back onto the line rather than muted, and a long soft shoulder so foreheads and noses roll off instead of clipping. Beauty, fashion, editorial.

  • EMULSION

    STUDIO

    The film pass — hard toe, cool-green highlights, saturation held down and carried by density. The stylised one, and the test of the whole pack: the frame goes to print stock while the face stays warm, on the line and crisp. B-roll, narrative, music video.

How to use these LUTs

  1. Open the LUT Library, preview any grade on your own frame with the before/after slider, and download the .cube file.
  2. Import it into your editor — works in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, Filmora and any other tool that reads 3D .cube LUTs.
  3. Pick the matching footage type before downloading (Standard, Apple Log, D-Log M, S-Log3, V-Log or C-Log3) and the log-to-Rec.709 conversion is baked in for you.
  4. Pick a strength before you download — the whole pack, or a single grade in the library. It's baked into the files, so 70% in the preview is exactly 70% in your edit.

How intensity works

When you download the pack you test it on a frame of your own footage and pick one strength for every grade; in the LUT Library each preview has its own slider (0–100%). Whatever you set is rendered into the files themselves — regenerated at that strength, named accordingly (e.g. _70pct.cube), and looks identical in your editor to what you saw in the preview.

Why bake it in instead of using your editor's LUT-mix slider? Two reasons. Many tools have no per-LUT strength control at all — DaVinci Resolve hides it behind node key gain, and camera apps that load monitoring LUTs have none. And on log footage an editor's mix slider blends back toward the flat, grey log image, washing out the picture; our blend keeps the full log-to-Rec.709 conversion and fades only the creative grade on top of it.

Want the full-strength version too? Download again at 100% — each strength gets its own file names, and downloads are unlimited once you own the pack.

Common questions

Which editors do the Skin Tones LUTs work in?+

All 5 are standard 3D .cube files, so they load in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, Filmora and anything else that reads .cube — including camera apps that take a monitoring LUT.

Will these work on log footage?+

Yes. Pick your footage type — Standard, Apple Log, D-Log M, S-Log3, V-Log, C-Log3, N-Log, F-Log2, GP-Log or HLG — before you download, and the log-to-Rec.709 conversion is baked into the .cube alongside the look.

Is any of the Skin Tones pack free?+

Not in this pack — the free grades are the camera conversions, one per camera pack, collected at https://ireelz.com/luts/free. Everything here is a creative look, which is the part the packs sell.

Can I change how strong the LUT is?+

Yes, before you download. Set 50, 70 or 100% in the preview and the .cube is regenerated at that strength, so it holds in CapCut and Filmora, which cannot dial a LUT back. On log footage this also beats an editor's mix slider, which fades toward the flat log image and washes the picture out.

How much is the Skin Tones pack, and is it a subscription?+

$24 once. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and re-authored versions replace your files in place at no cost. It is also included with a Creator Pro plan.
