In the Layer Palette adjust the following in single layers: 1) Levels from the upper tool, 2) General Hue&Saturation. 3) Select with lasso tool Eyes and take off the blue in eye's white part with Hue&Saturation (take off the blue) - use the pen to rescue the blue in iris's eyes. 4) Select with lasso tool teeth and take off the yellow of teeth with Hue&saturation. 5) Select with lasso tool determinate part or skin and face (feather-2x)and apply Exposure to get more light into their faces; and Voila! :)

Skin refine and clean hair in eye...

2010-08-26T02:03:00.000-07:00

There have to rebuild the eye again, painting with a fine low opacity brush, using the same eye as a sample, the colors in different lighting.
Color correction in the makeup, the lower eye liner is too thick, and the blush application is too aside in the cheeks, and the color is pretty strong.
The skin have to being softener with blur gaussian in selected areas and add noise at the end. :)

This is one of my best sample, because is not only refining the skin color, and pop out details like teeth and eyes, is correct the bad makeup and apply again soft color and build the makeup again.
In the original pic is evident the different color of the shoulder compare with the model foundation, is important to find the general body color match.
One important tip to reduce big gum appearance is put warmer color on it. (be careful too much lighting gum looks bigger).
