Is this better? Lightened shadows, shifted white balance slightly warmer and tint toward green away from magenta - all things that can be set in the camera.

It's still bad.

I agree. Their skin tones simply do not look like that in real life and it still look unpleasant. Maybe by me setting it to +3 shadow tone and Provia Standard simply destroyed the photo from the begining?

I did import the photo in LR and also tried adjusting the warmth and WB and other color sliders, and It just didn't come out right. For the kind of tan skin tone the girls have something went very wrong, either those setting or as other people already said, using Provia Standard. They were under a very nice amount of shade and was expecting much better results. The skin tones here look very plasticky and fake and plain unpleasant. I might as well shoot RAW from the very beginning because it makes no sense to spend so much time with jpegs like this trying to fix them.  Unpleasant stuff like this is exactly what I was getting with the old Nikon D7000 years ago.

I will try something else another day before my family leaves, they are only visiting for a few more days
