Change the layer mode from ‘Normal’ to ‘Soft Light.’ Change the adjustment layer to ‘Solid Color.’ In the solid color, press ‘070142.’ After that, in the layer menu select ‘Exclusion.’ Change the adjustment layer to ‘Levels.’ Make some adjustments that you think is necessary for the image. Change the adjustment layer to ‘Solid Color’ again and in the solid color, press ‘de9b82.’ After that, change the layer mode from ‘Normal’ to ‘Soft Light.’ Decrease the opacity to 75%.
