Colouring tutorial. Using CS2.
My first tutorial, so please be nice ^_^
Going from this
to this 
1) Crop your image --> sharpen it. Then I usually use blur tool all over the face except lips and eyes. Resize image.
2) Duplicate your base and set it to Soft Light, opacity between 60-100% (mine is 68%)
3) Hue/Saturation layer. Saturation: +49
4) Selective Color layer:
Reds: +100; 0; +100; 0
Yellows: +100; 0; -100; 0
Cyans: +100; 0; 0; 0
Blues: +100; 0; 0; 0
Whites: +100; 0; +100; 0
Neutrals: +31; 0; 0; 0
5) Color Balance layer:
Midtones: -49; +25; +43
Shadows: -18; 0; 0
6) Selective Color layer:
Reds: -100; 0; +100; 0
Yellows: -100; +100; +100; 0
Cyans: +100; 0; 0; +37
Blues: +100; 0; 0; 0
Whites: +100; 0; +100; 0
Neutrals: 0; 0; +26; 0
7) Solid Color, fill with #fcfcfc and set to Soft Light 100%
And you're done ;)
