I am not an advanced user in Photoshop, but know a thing or two; however, I cannot figure out how to fix the lighting in these photos. Any suggestions?

I don't see any hope for the first one, the highlights are blown out and there is no detail to recapture. The second can be improved some, but it would take a lot of work by painting over the affected areas as I did here on the woman's face. If you want to pursue that course, paint on a separate layer with a very soft low opacity brush. Sample often, and work slowly. When you have it the way you want it add a little noise to match the original.

Had a go for you but as Hawkeye says there's no quick fix for these images once detail is burnt out there is no bringing it back unfortunately...
