5d2(when model doesn't have fine face skin): what setting can make model skin better?

Sorry, I deleted these photos on my Flickr.

Your best bet would be to use skin softening software in post processing rather than trying to do it with the camera. Be careful though as this can be overdone making the skin look like plastic.

+1.

to reduce shadows that accentuate the bumps you can light from directly in front, but that will make all features seem flat; shoot with nice light for everything else and use software to fix the skin

Over-expose little or use skin softening.

Over expose by 2 stops or use BW on camera processing

Use clarity slider in Lightroom. Pull back -10 and go from there. Or use adjustment brush with same clarity slider for more localized comtrol

You need local smoothing with layer masks. We need your permission to edit your photos.

Nguyen, I love the photo in your Flickr set where the groom is standing on a brick to give him more height!

If you will give us permission to edit your images as MakisM1 asks above, we can show you what some limited post processing can do for the photo.
