Not great, as I am away at present, but if you sample an area that has some colour to it, make a new layer a fill with the colour then create a mask and burn it back in, it kind of works. By lowering the opacity you can vary the strength. Used some highlight/shadow and added a bit more USM on the eyes & part of the face. Re cropped to give a bit more focus. All a very personal POV. basic I know, but hope it illustrates the point.
