to 
1. Prepare your base. Mine was nice, crisp and clear, so I didn't do much with it.
2. LAYER > NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER > GRADIENT MAP.
Double click the bar with colors (sorry, i don't know what to call it!!)
There should only be two tabs. Double click the first one (one to the left) and add the color #bdcf0a. Go to the one on the right and add #cc0045. click ok. then check reverse (ONLY IF NEEDED.) Your icon should look like this:
(LOL)
If you don't have the right, then uncheck/check reverse.
set it to SOFTLIGHT at 50%. This should be the start of the yellow-ish red coloring already. :)
3. LAYER > NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER > CURVES. (just so you know, not all curves are the same, so if you have ANY problem with curves, feel free to tell me.)
(input, output)
RGB
First: 99, 111
Second: 159, 182
RED
First: 152, 142
It's brighter now, lol.
4. LAYER > NEW FILL LAYER > PUT IN #f9cd8a. Set this to COLORBURN AT 20%
5. Duplicate your base, bring it to the top, set it to SOFTLIGHT at 40%
6. LAYER > NEW LAYER ADJUSTMENT > BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST
B: -15
C: -10
it's not that contrast-y now. but if you must contrast your icon (like it's really dull) then i suggest to leave this step alone.for now.
7. LAYER > NEW LAYER ADJUSTMENT > CURVES
RGB: 140, 156
Brighter!!
8. (this is pretty much optional, but I suggest you'd might wanna do this for a nice result I suppose.) I got the color #6c000a, chose a soft brush (the size shall depend on the person) and painted it over the model's lips. Then I set it to SOFTLIGHT AT 40%.
9. LAYER > NEW LAYER ADJUSTMENT > CHANNEL MIXER
Red:
R: +98
G: -1
B: -4
Makes her a bit more Green (icky xD)
10. I got the base, duplicated it, set it on top, and placed it on MULTIPLY AT 40%
and you're done!!
