You asked for criticism :D

In general, this facial expression doesn't really work with a more realistic style. It's okay for a rather stereotypic anime style which simplifies the facial anatomy... But it just doesn't work good with realistic faces. You can't just shut one eye without affecting other muscles and changing the whole expression! It's an quite unnatural expression.
Also, I have a hard time locating the light source. It seems to be everywhere which is quite confusing! Also, related to this the shadows don't really seem to fit.
Maybe you should define a clear light source and set shadows according to it... Don't make them completely symmetrical if the light isn't exactly from the front. Also, you might add a bit more depth into the shading by using darker skintones! These shades all seem rather light and just flow into each other... The only hard-edged shadow is thrown by her hair but the nose also throws a 'more solid' shadow than e.g. the cheeks.
You were more confident with the hair, using different shades with higher contrasts - that's good! Contrasts make things interesting and create visual depth :3

And the lip colour seems a bit too pale. The skin at the lips is thinner than usual skin, that's why they appear reddish often... :3
You don't need to go for bright red but this shade is a tad too yellow and pale and just doesn't fit really well, I think.... And the upper lip seems a bit odd... It's rarely wavy like this especially not when the lips part for a bright smile.

(Of course I still like it! It's a lovely piece and her hair is so vivid... But I just focused on the things that appear strange to me^^)
