Michael,

That depends on what you are trying to do.  I have done some testing
myself.  One desire is to put catchlights in the eyes and  that is
bout it.  With diffused outdoor light probably about 2 stops under. As
the sun gets more direct you are usually trying to take out shadows
in/under the eyes.  Noonday sun here in NorCal being quite bright you
need almost no compensation. Just as a rule of thumb, my average
starting point would be about one stop under.  Adjust as necessary
based on how strong the sun is.

HTH,


Bruce
