1. i would have not cut off her chin
2.lightings a bit dull
3.over exposed

I don't like the crop of the first one.
I like the second, but i'd brighten the eyes.
The 3rd-skin doesn't look natural.
I like the eyes but the skin is yellowy?

3 updated... any better?

I didn't see the 'before edit' of these but they aren't too bad IMHO. The biggest flaw I can find is that the eyes seem to be slightly OOF on all of them. At least that is the way they appear on my monitor. The smile looks a bit pasted on as well but that isn't any fault of yours. Shoot more of this lovely lady and her camera smile will become more natural with experience. Now that I have gone back and re-read your post comments....duhhh (on me!) I believe that you may have applied the blur to the eyes as well as skin, which may account for the lack of sharpness in the eyes. Make sure you use a layer mask and exclude the eyes from any gausian or any other type of blur when editing. It will take a bit longer but the end results will be much more pleasing.

here is another
I think its the best soo far.
