After brightening the subject's face, the reflection on the glasses also became overexposed. How can I exclude the reflection area within a single grading layer?

A single grading layer supports accommodating multiple masks. You need to utilize the boolean interaction between mask layers to subtract the interfering area.

[Operation] ① Under the grading layer where face brightening is applied, first create a main subject Circle or hand-drawn mask; ② Staying within the same grading layer, use the Pen tool in the preview monitor to precisely outline the glasses reflection area to generate a second Mask; ③ Select this glasses mask in the "Mask Layers" list, switch its boolean mode from the default "None" to "Subtract", and apply a slight feathering of 1–2px to it, thereby excluding it from the face brightening area.

[Verification] Observe the grading effect in the monitor; the overall brightness of the subject's face is enhanced, while the glasses reflection area is restored to its original exposure without highlight clipping.
