I prefer the quick mask in situations like this. Press Q to enter the quick mask mode and use the brush to paint the isolated areas. Press D to set default black and white colors, if you want to select the face paint with black over it, if you want to select suronding background paint with black over the background. Use slightly soft brush, this way you have interactive control over the selection. Try it its very easy and cool way

Open your mind and share the knowledge!
