Now, don't merge the layers yet! well you can, but if you want to add a closeup 

follow this steps:

Open the closeup, c/p in the canvas, place it and resize if needed. 

In the layer palette, change the blend mode to: Darken.

With the closeup layer active, right click in the layer palette, merge down.

It will look like this:

I like it this way because the face is almost transparent.

here's how it will look if you don't change the blend mode but merge down, it will look this way:
