In my opinion you should not remove mole near her lips

I would have given her face a more feminine shape

I think it looks great.  Eyes and teeth color are just a bit too similar to skin.

Thanks everyone for their feedback.. I totally missed to correct the teeth and eye color.. Thank you for making me understand that I have to concentrate more on the little details..

I'm no expert but I think you did a beautiful job of it so far.

Restore the mole and address some of the creases in the gold fabric to make it more pleasing to the eye. Skin looks good to me.

take loads of magenta out of her skin, give it a more natural colour. reduce the highlights out of her eye by 50% it looks too fake and take the skin work back by 30% make it more natural

You took some of the shadows out of her face making it look too flat and a bit masculine, she already has a powerful jawline I wouldn't have less definition in her cheeks too. I would definitely address some of the hair and background too. Maybe dial back the skin work a touch so she looks more natural

background moves the eyes attention away from the subject, and next time please try and keep the mole as it will remind us that this is a human and not a life like doll in a cartoon series, practice makes perfect ;-)
