This is regularly handled with very specific secondary-based color correction. Select the specific skin tone color and apply a softening to just the skin tones. This doesn't make the entire SHOT look different. Just basically glows or softens the skin color pixels only. Real colorists do this ALL THE TIME... not a plug in. Not in camera. Of course, not in Symphony either. But definitely doable in Resolve or Color or probably in Baselight Avid plugin, though I haven't explored that enough to know it has all the tools to pull this off.
Plugins can definitely work to this end, basically doing the same thing that a "pro" would do with "hand" color correction tools, but also not as "bespsoke" of a solution for your specific skin or actress.

Unfailingly, the DP puts a Schneider warm classic soft 2 or a Tiffen equivalent on the lens, and we get a "Barbara Walters" exaggerated soft effect -- which is compounded when we cut to the guest who Doesn't have a filter. Beyond asking that both cameras have the same filter, and without doing a 'skin detail setting' adjustment in camera, any suggestions for treating aging skin tones with tender loving (soft) care, without over-softening the background? Has anyone used the Sapphire Skin Soft or Soft Focus plug-in with success? Thanks much,
