Default Editting help needed

I took some group photos today but most of their faces looked dark against the brighter background.(no time to take out flash or change settings)
I tried adding brightness and contrast etc but the pics look grainy and wash out.

Thanks for all help

Its their secret code share:

Hel: "Psst!?!"
Togu: What?"
Hel: "Can?!"
Togu: "Can."
Hel: "Okay?!"
Togu: "Okay!"

and the both walk off shaking their heads wondering what the other person was talking about...

Just kidding... Sorry for the OT.

How about using the simple dodge tool ? Select it and click on your subject.

Just to add, if you want to restrict the range of the dodge tool, just make a selection on the subject's face (using the pen tool or magic wand, etc), then just brush away freely
