Photoshop CS4
Easy
6/7 steps

This was made for [info]orangegloss over at [info]coloring_help, but i though you may find it useful somehow.

1 Open your base and crop to 100 x 100 pixels.

2. Duplicate your base and set to Soflight Opacity 100%.
This darkens the colours of the image, but also makes them more vibrant.

3. Create a Fill Layer and Flood with #ed8f9c, set to Soflight 100% Opacity.
This colour brightens all the pinks and reds in the images, and brightens the image overall, will still keeping the vibrance from before.

4. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance
SHADOWS +48 -15 +10
MISTONES -33 -10 +12
HIGHLIGHTS -40 +16 -20
This removes some of the pinks and reds that made the image look too red, making the image look fake, and Miley look slightly sun burnt.

5. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color
REDS -31 +31 +6 +16
YELLOWS -55 +32 +16 0
WHITES -100 +100 -100 -100
NEUTRALS +43 0 +18 +4
BLACKS 0 0 0 +40
This layer defines all the colours, as well as bringing out the natural reds and whites in the image.

6. Create a Fill Layer and Flood with #dee1b8, set to Soflight 100% Opacity.
This layer basically is a screen layer, brightening up the entire image. Whereas screen layer tend to wash out the image, and make the image to white.

7. Press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E and Sharpen to your liking. Left mine at 100%.
This copies all the layers into one image. I tend to sharpen all my images after coloring, as the coloring tends to blur the image.
 

And your done. This coloring will not work on every image, you will have to play around with the settings and layers before you get what you want. 
 
 
Here are some other examples, witht he setting changed a little.
