Not 100% but try and the image adjustment shadow & Highlight, play with the adjustments and you might be able to get it to where you want.
Hope this helps.

Quick job.
Draw a fairly tight mask around the hard shadow area and feather it by a few pixels. Now clone a suitable flesh colour into the shadow area from outside the mask (from elsewhere on the face). When the shadow has gone, remove the mask. You'll need to selectively lighten the shadow side of the nose as it will now look too dark in relation to the now lighter cheek.
You need to do a bit of pixel pushing with some sort of blend tool to get it all looking as natural as possible with no obvious processing joins. Not the easiest of jobs tbh without a fair amount of practice.
As has been said - it's a lot easier to look for that nose shadow before you press the shutter.

All roads lead to Rome - it's a question of which you prefer. there's always a gazillion different ways to tackle these jobs.

Well you weren't really wrong - it should be taken again. The whole of that side of the face still has some dark shadows that are now at odds with the rest of the shot really, and need sorting out.
Don't feel too bad - this comes from years and years of sorting out old damaged, cracked pics for people.

I had a play too, I hope you don't mind
I did so much to it I couldn't possibly tell you exactly how. There was a lot of cloning, smudging and softening done though, as well as two different layers made and merged with different brightness settings. When I had done I tried to reverse it all, then I was going to record the actions and try being clever and making a short movie type clip
But alas it didn't work.
