to
1. Crop your image
2. Resize image to 100 by 100 pixels
3. Layers >> New Raster Layer: set this layer to soft light, with an opacity of 100%
4. zoom in to about 300% and use a round, 5 px brush in a royal blue shade to color the eyes and the area around them (if you find this difficult, use a smaller brush);
5. zoom out to 100% and lower the opacity until the eyes look vibrant, but not overly done
6. Layers >> New Raster Layer: soft light, opacity 100%
7. zoom in to about 300% and use a round 5 px brush in a pinkish-red shade to color the lips; use a 1 or 2 px brush for the edges (this is a bit more difficult than the eyes)
8. zoom out to 100% and lower the opacity until the lips appear vibrant, but not overly done
9. repeat this process for the brows, hair, cheeks, and/or any other physical feature (colors and brush hardness will vary)
10. Layers >> Merge >> Merge All (Flatten)
11. Layers >> Duplicate: duplicate the icon and set the new layer to soft light, with an opacity of 25 to 30% (depending on how bright/solid you want it)
12. Layers >> Merge >> Merge All (Flatten)
13. adjust Brightness/Contrast and Sharpness/Softness as needed
