My Links
Open your save in Gibbed.
Click over to 'Raw'-> Player -> Appearance -> Headmorph
Scalar Parameters
Click the [...] button to the right of (Collection) next to Scalar Parameters to open up a 2nd window.
A list of useful values and what they mean:
HED_Blush_Scalar - Controls blush transparency. Zero will be nothing, one will be quite heavy. Anything higher and you're probably heading into clown territory, depending on what color your blush is (more on color selection later.)
HED_Addn_Spec_Lips_Scalar
HED_Addn_SPwr_Lips_Scalar - Together these two control lip shine. For example in the picture above I have the first set at '10' and the second set at '100'. Zero for both means no extra shine.
Gibbed Me2 Save Editor
HED_Addn_Blowout_Scalar - How dark custom eyebrows are saturated with color. Default femshep won't be affected because her eyebrows are painted on her face, but this can be used on any character creator femshep. '0.5' will be very thin brows - '1.5' will be very dark.
HED_Lips_Tint_Scalar - Controls lip color transparency. Same as blush, zero is nothing - one is about normal and anything higher is subjective.
HED_EyeShadow_Tint_Scalar - eyeliner heaviness
HED_Brow_Tint_Scalar - eyeshadow heaviness
In ME3 both will be much lighter than in previous games, and the eyeliner is less defined. The ME3_legacy_makeupmask.tpf I have in my default femshep download will return it to its previous appearance. The texture overhaul also includes a modified version.
HED_SPwr_Scalar - How much light Shepard's face emits, for lack of a better descriptor. Higher values will make her glow more.
Hightlight1Intensity - How much hair highlight color 1 shows/shininess
Hightlight2Intensity - How much hair highlight color 2 shows/shininess

Texture Parameters
This is where you specify which textures (such as diffuse, spec, and normal maps) are used on Shepard. A list of mined values is HERE.
Diffuse: The visible flat texture most people think of when they are thinking about game textures
Spec: Controls how light reflects and interacts with an object
Mask: Looks black and white, determines where color is visible or transparent, like on eyelashes. Think of it like a stencil.
HED_Scalp_Diff - Scalp diffuse
HED_Scalp_Norm - Scalp normal map (also known as a bump map)
HAIR_Diff - Hair diffuse
HED_Diff - Face diffuse
HED_Lash_Diff - Eyelash mask
