Jean, in regard to the cheek try to get the chroma down at the proper value Don't make it lighter or darker. The value that you have now can work. If it needs to go lighter do not use just wight mix the wight with something and than add it to your dark mix.

In order to get the chroma down (the intensity of the color/hue) mix up what you have but try adding a touch of complimentary color at the same value to your mix. Just a touch. Do this on your palette first than if the surface is dry test the new mix on the cheek. Maybe a light glaze mite work (linseed oil with a touch of your new mix). I would rather try and get the correct hue, value and temperature than glaze. If it is not glazed correctly it mite dull the area.

If you try the new mix when the surface is dry and you do not like the results just wipe it off and clean it with a touch of mineral spirits.
