BASIC TUTORIAL.
Go from this:
to this: 
1. First you need a good picture. I prefer a high quality picture or one from a magazine. I get most of my adriana pictures from here and victorias secret
2. I always start with the lips. There is two ways to do the lips. This way is the first, the second is below.
3. Use the lasso tool and select the area around the lips. Copy and paste this onto a new layer.
4. Duplicate this layer. You now should have 3 layers in this order, your original picture, the lip layer, and then the lip layer you duplicated.
5. Select the lip layer you duplicated (the third layer) and set it to overlay. see here
6. Now create a fourth layer on top. Use a 3 px round brush, white, and draw where you want the highlights to be. I prefer just drawing the thick line on the bottom lip. If you'd like, you can use a 1 px round brush, and randomly draw dots on the lips to create a sparkle on the same layer. Now set this layer to overlay and the lips are done. see here
7. Now it's time for the eyes. Create a new layer, layer number five. Select a 1 px round brush in white. Zoom in and draw the highlight in the pupil and in the colored part of the eye. see hereSet this layer to overlay. Duplicate twice. So now you have 7 layers. If the image is dark and the overlay won't work, do the same but leave the layer as normal. It will pretty much look the same as overlay.
8. You can add shadow to the eyes if you'd like. Look below for the steps.
9. Now that you've finshed the eyes and lips, it's time for the skin.
10. Go back to the original picture layer. Select a 13 px soft round brush for the blur tool set at 36% strength. I prefer starting with 36% and then going to 66% once you get the hang of it. I always use 66%. Zoom in and smooth out the pixels. Make sure to be careful around the eyes.
11. If there is hair in the picture, use a 13 px round brush for the blur tool set at 40 % and smooth out the hair. Go in the same direction as the hair. For example of there are waves, go in the direction of the waves.
12. If you'd like, you can add blush too, but this is optional. If you would like too, see below.
13. If the image is too light , create a new layer on top of all the other layers. Fill with color #C69C6D. Set this layer to overlay, multiply or darken. Lessen the opacity to where you want. I usually do not do this step.
14. you are now finished unless you want to add anything below.
SECOND WAY TO DO THE LIPS
before:
after:
1. Follow steps one through 4. Except, desaturate the third layer, (the second lip layer) to do this, press Ctrl Alt U on your keyboard all at once. A window will pop up. Set the hue:0 saturation:-100 lightness:0 Make sure you delete the area where the mouth is open or they will have grey teeth and a grey tongue!
2. Now go to Image>Adjustments>Variations.
3.Make sure you click original. And that the midtones option is selected. Also make sure the arrow is between fine and course. Click more red twice, then yellow and then more blue. Now click highlights. Click more yellow twice. Now click ok. Remember you can select whatever colors you want, this is just an example. Set this layer to overlay.
4. Follow the rest of the steps.
ADD EYESHADOW ONE
before:
after:
1.Follow all the steps in the basic tutorial but at step 8 create a new layer. select a light color like #EBC2B0 or I like using #9E0B0E for red shadow.
2.Use a 3 px round brush and draw where you want the eyeshadow to be.
3.Set that layer to overlay. Smooth around the edges with a 13 px round blur brush set at 66%.
4.If you want another color around the eyes, create a new layer and set the layer to overlay.
ADD EYESHADOW TWO
before: after:
1. Again, follow the steps in the basic tutorial until you reach step 8. This way is a lot like the second way to do the lips.
2.Use the lasso tool and select the area around the eyes. Make sure where it says feather ,type in 4 px. see here
3.Copy and paste this onto a new layer. Do this for both eyes.
4.Now merge the right and left eye together. Select the lasso tool again, and set the feather back to 0 px.
5.Now select the actual eye and press Ctrl x to delete it. Now desaturate your eye layer. see here Go to image>adjustments>variations. Make sure midtones is selected. Press red twice, blue once and yellow once. Now select highlights. Click more yellow and more blue. Click ok. Set this layer to overlay and duplicate it 3 times.
6.If you want a color to outline the eyes, Create a new layer and select white, or the color of your choice. Use a 1px brush and outline the eye. Set that layer to overlay and duplcate it. And thats it!
ADDING BLUSH ONE
before:
after:
1. Follow steps one -twelve. Create a new layer.
2. Select a 10 px round brush . Opacity 30 % color #F982D2 or whatever you prefer. Draw a few dots in a ling along the cheekbone.
3.Set the layer to overlay. Select a 21 PX round blur brush at 66% strength and blur the color.

ADDING BLUSH TWO
before: 
after:
1. Follow steps one -twelve.
2. Use the lasso tool. Make sure where it says feather type in 5 px.
3. Select the area you want the blush to be. If there are two places you want the blush to be, for example both sides of the face, remember to merge them together! haha.
4. With the blush layer selected. Go to image>adjustments>variations.
