One of the most advance photoshop tutorials I'll probably ever have to offer is adding make-up to a picture. It takes a lot of work to make it look real and not some badly photoshoped image.
Step 1: Open up your image. I got mine from google.com. Just type in 'without make up' in the search bar and I'm sure you'll find the one I'm using. Press Ctrl + 0 on your keyboard to make the image fill your screen. After duplicating the background layer (Ctrl + J), create a new layer (Ctrl + Shift + N) and name it 'Dark Shadow' and grab your brush tool.
Step 2: Select the circle brush and set the size to 9px and the hardness to 0%. Zoom into the image at about 500% (more or less depending on your image size). Select a color you'd like her eye shadow to be, i used #003471, and create arches over her eye lids, just above her eye lashes. Seeing how the left eye is angled differently and appears to be smaller than the right, use a smaller brush size. I used 5px at 0% hardness.
Step 3: Set your layer style to Overlay and the dark blue should turn into a dark purple. Make another layer (Ctrl + Shift + N) and name it 'Light Shadow' and repeat step 2 again but this time, use a brush size of 13px at 0% hardness and a brush size of 9px and 0% hardness for the left eye, just above the first arches you made. After thats done, set that layer style to soft light.
Step 4: Next is to add some blush. You don't have to add blush but I like blush :]. Make another layer (Ctrl + Shift + N) and name it 'Blush'. Take the brush size of 27px at 0% hardness, using the color #ed0dd0. Make a line on both sides of her cheeks. It should look something like this. Then zoom out and go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Mess with the radius size. The bigger, the better. I set mine to 13.9 pixels. Click 'OK' and set the layer style to 'Lighten' and then zoom back in.
Step 5: After zooming in, you'll notice some of the blush is on the hair and over places it shouldn't be. To make this look as real as possiable, take your pencil Eraser tool and get rid of the blush from her hair, under her eye, and her nose. Use different brush sizes to make things easier to erase.
Step 6: Now it's time for the lips. Most people color the lips a red color but red wouldn't really go with this girl. That color would kind of clash with her skin tone. It's best to go with a really pale pink, or a dark orange. Make a new layer (Ctrl + Shift + N) and call this one 'Lip Gloss'. Use your brush tool and color her lips with the color you want. I'm going to use a pale, dark orange, which is #f85e46.
Step 7: After you've got the lips that color, set the layer style to 'Color' and the Opacity to '40%' Like this.
Step 8: Now you're done with adding the make up. If you want, you can go back and define her lashes or add mascara but other than that, you're done with adding the make up, you can zoom out of your image. The skin looks a little grainy and ugly, let's fix that. Select the background copy and then go to Filtre > Blur > Surface Blur and set the Radius to 5 and the Threshold to 15 and then click 'OK'. TA-DA! You've finished! What do you think?
