As a newbie I really appreciate the simple things on photoshop - can I ask what brushes you use the most? Thanks!

Thank you dear, it's great to know my tips are useful!
I usually use the default round brush and play around with opacity and flow.
I also use a graphics tablet, maybe that's why you thought I use certain brushes.
Hope I helped
And I love MJ too

Question: On the model layer there are two layer masks - what is the purpose of the two masks? I've never seen that done before

You're welcome!
I always do this when extracting a model. The first mask is a vector one using the pen tool and the second one is a normal mask which I create to erase parts that I don't want to be very sharp, like hair or the bottom part of the model (her intersection with the ground). This will help better in blending because sometimes I bring back the original background of the model's image. I hope I explained well 
Please let me know if you didn't get it
