Hey Lyraina I hope you don't mind but I could not help you better than just repainting your face. I absolutely love the colors you picked, so beautiful I would hang this picture on my wall immediately!
Her face "before and after" has almost not changed. Be more courage with repainting your work. I know how hard it is to take that far step back and allow yourself to repaint almost everything.
Also If I can suggest, grab a small standing mirror and place it beside your monitor. I always paint with mirror even when painting other sex :D It's irreplaceable help especially painting expressions. Just look how skin tightens on whole face when you smile. How chin gets pointy, how cheeks rounded, how nostrils go up, how eyes squint. When you will feel it, and observe in reality, it will be easier to paint.
I don't know the background of the character (don't want to be cruel here) but she evidently don't have eyelashes. If she did not lost them in fire explosion minutes ago give her stronger makeup. She haves attractive body but her face in my opinion looks a little creepy ^^ I also think she haves too high forehead, and to big skull. Hope you can grab something useful from my reasoning :D
