Got a mud face pack from Southland, which was actually greenish when dry. Shot in RAW, in front of a window, with some fill-in flash, and shifted the colour balance to make it look blueish. Many outtakes. In RSE, I increased shadow and highlight contrast, slight increase in saturation, then saved to jpg, and opened in PS7, for resize, border, save for web and slight unsharp mask.

Your white balance seems a little too far off and is causing a rather unflattering blue cast to the skin. There was enough blue elsewhere in the image that this blue cast was not needed. The eyes are very pretty though and with better post processing this would have been a lot better.
At first glance I was going to vote this pretty low. I thought it was, well...pretty ugly. LOL....But after further consideration, I think it took a lot of work, and I love the eyes. Given this was basic editing, I am going to vote this a decent score for creativity with what looks like added sparkles and paint.
My first thought was that the mask is pulling her eyes open and pushing her lips together. Not crazy about this, but that is just my preference. I do like that her eyes are very clearly focused. :)
