The best thing is to go too far then pull back with the fade tool. As is with it washed out it looks wrong. The goal is to make it look right. When you clicked the shutter I bet you could see the guy behind the glass better than how it came out looking. The goal is to make it look the way you originally saw it. For the most part. You could just use the burn tool but way more controllable and less awkward is go into mask mode (the pink stuff) and select the face bowl with a brush or a gradation tool. Then back and optimize it with the curves or levels.
