How do I create the 'venture' look?

Hi this is my first post and was hoping someone could shed some light on this matter.
I wanted to create images similar to that of the Venture studios. Here's what I have achieved in camera - should I have overexposed? or is it post from here on?
I can boost colour but I cant get the bleached skin tones and sharp edge contrast they seem to.

Any help appreciated

Is this what you're looking for?

1. Adjust lighting with curves.
2. Clean up noise in image.
3. Boost saturation.

Thanks Ziaphra, that's a step in the right direction to where I am trying to get

However, the colours are still not as punchy as a venture image skin tones are not white enough. I am having trouble also retaining edge details when I push the image in curves as you have.

Thanks again
