How do I correct the sunspot on her left cheek by the eye?

Blown out areas are very difficult to fix without making the effect look artificial.

Become aware of the quality of light. Dappled sunlight is the bane of all photographs. Next time, move her fully into the shade.

Agree, even in PS, it is still the bright part of the photo.

I wouldn't take it too far out if you really want to salvage this image. Use the cloning tool set at darken and 20%. Then use the patch tool to aid with color. Color is way off, bring down the blues and bring down the reds just slightly. Use levels to play with contrast and brightness of the different elements.
