Note that unlike an analog dodge/burn, digital dodge/burn tool can be configured to affect shadows, midtones, 
or highlights.  Check which mode is currently active in the toolbox options and experiment to find which one 
works better for what.


Also, since GIMP processes the image in RGB space, dodge/burn operations affect each channel independently 
and this will sometimes cause unwanted hue shifts when dealing with mixed RGB tones.  E.g. doing a midtones 
or shadows burn on a pixel of RGB #ff8000 (orange) will cause it to fade to red and stop, not a darker orange 
followed by brown and black.  If you want to preserve hue/saturation while using dodge/burn you may want to 
consider decomposing the image into a colorspace that separates greyscale from chroma (like YCC).

I've been using the burn tool, it works to remove part of the shadow on their
faces but they always end up looking deformed lol
