Here is the original picture. This is such an cute picture of an adorable little girl. It also has the same problem that I have to deal with on quite a few of my pictures: dark shadows in the face!
Here is my edited version.
I duplicated the original and then on the duplicate layer did a curves adjustment and put that layer as a mask so that I could reveal only the parts I wanted to lighten. I did this a few times as I would do different adjustments for different parts of her body. I also added a very slight "flattery" filter from Virtual Photographer to her tutu and darker skin areas.
