Help! Blending is causing splotches!

I'm trying to create a blended look. I've attached a screenshot - how do I clean up the faces so that the backgrounds on the lower layers don't create splotches on the faces? I set the blending mode on my picture/mask to "overlay" and then I duplicated by picture/mask on a higher layer - the blending mode on that copy is normal. I've tried using the eraser tool on the lower layers but it's not working.

Is there something else I can do, or is it actually supposed to look this way??

Part of the process of blending is allowing part of the lower layer to show through. If you don't like that, try inserting a layer in between and painting a little just underneat the faces....

Another way to deal with the splotches is to remove the splotches from their layer with masks. I've done that when my BG is really 2 or more layers blended together. I just remove some of the splotches (or erase them with a really low opacity eraser)and let the other layer show through more.

HTH!
