As you probably realize, the skintones in this shot are much too warm.

If you're using a digital camera you need to be sure the white balance is set to match your light source. My camera has an "incandescent" white balance setting, or yours may be called "tungsten".

If you're shooting with film you need tungsten film to shoot by artificial light, not daylight film. Even with tungsten film you need a certain type of artificial lights, though. Just regular household lamps with that sort of film would still give you strange colors.
