This is my first icon tutorial ever, I hope you find it useful!
Photoshop CS2, involves Selective Color.

1. Take your pic and crop/sharp it.
The bottom is too dark. Duplicate your base and set it to Screen ~ 25% opacity
2. Duplicate the base again and set it to Soft Light ~ 60% opacity
Go to Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur ~ Radius: 2,0 pixels

(this is your result until now)
3. Take this texture and set it to Screen ~ 100% opacity

4. The funniest part, Selective Color!
Go to Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Selective Color
R: -68, +41, -28, +38
Y: -55, -29, +54, +56
C: +100, -100, -100, +100
B: +100, -100, +100, +100
M: -71, +96, +38, +46
N: -43, +10, -5, -10

5. Use this (or another one) star brush [by loleiasbits ]
6. Take this texture(?) and set it to Screen ~ 100% opacity

7. I wanted her eyes more blue...
Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Selective Color
C: +100, -100, -100, +100
B: +100, -100, -100, +100

8. The final step!
Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Color Balance
Midtones: +16, -5, -9
And you're done!!

Please forgive me if I made English mistakes in this text, English is not my first language =/
