Colouring Tutorials for Pale Faces

Ive been trying to make icons and banners of the actress Miranda Frigon, whos skin is relativdely pale. But every colouring tutorial that I try makes her sking o almost white and you cant see the features on her face.

Does anyone know of any tutorials that I may be able to use that dont do this?

Thanx in advance :)

EDIT: I use PSPX
