Open up your photo in PS and duplicate layer - Ctrl J
Go to the channels mixer and select the red  channel.
Select all - Ctrl A - Copy - Ctrl C. Reselect the RGB Channel  and go back to
the Layers channel. Paste - Ctrl V. Change the layer to  luminosity. It will now
look a little odd.
Go back to Channels and Ctrl left click on the RGB channel,  this will select
only part of the image. It will still look a little over cook.  So... go to
image - adjustments - levels and move the midtone slider to the  right until it
looks more natural. You can also change the opacity down if  needed.
Thats the facial scrub done.
Now for the make up  layer.
Add a new layer. Select all - Ctrl A. Go to Edit copy merged -  paste - Ctrl V.
Go to filters - other - high pass. I choose 9  pixels.
Go to filters - blur - gaussian blur. I choose 3  pixels.
Invert the image - Ctrl I. Change layer to overlay.
Change the layer to a layer mask and fill the mask with black,  this will undo
the last stage.
Now select paintbrush and use white to redo the blur layer  where you need eg
only on the skin. Alt left click on the mask to see where you  have been.
And the final product.
