DaVinci Resolve: primary grade, multi-cam nodes, and shot matching workflow

[StellaEJ]

I'm a freelance videographer trying to improve my post-production workflow, and I've decided to fully commit to DaVinci Resolve for its color grading capabilities after using more basic editors. I've watched several tutorials on the Color page, but I'm struggling to move beyond basic correction to achieve a consistent, cinematic look across different shots from the same project, especially when dealing with mixed lighting conditions. For editors who use Resolve professionally, what are your essential steps for building a primary grade before moving into creative looks? How do you manage node trees efficiently for a multi-cam interview, and what are your go-to tools within Resolve for tackling common issues like skin tone correction or matching shots from different cameras?
