How to soften skin in Lightroom CC 2017 v1.1?

I've recently moved from Classic to Lightroom CC - the ability to edit on various devices really appeals to me.

Whilst great, I have noticed the brush tool no longer has a 'soften skin' sub-tool. Is that the case or is it hidden elsewhere? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

    The brush preset menu is not there yet. We maybe have to wait for a future update. Simply select the brush. Set clarity slider to -100 and sharpness slider to +25. Then start brushing to soften the skin.

    What do you set the feather, flow, and density sliders to?

    I keep feather, flow and density all at 100.

    Hi, I have Lightroom CC. I adjusted clarity to -100 and sharpness to +25. All it does is leave a black mark across my subject's face wherever I applied the brush. How can I get it to color match the rest of the face and sharpen her face?

    Are you sure the brush is active (highlighted) and all other sliders are set to zero? See image below.
