The overprocessing has made her skin look fake and red, her hair strange, and the white of her eyes BLUE. Why? :-(

Too much Neat Image (her hair, eyes, and lips have a weird unnatural texture), and not enough light on the subject, though it is pretty even (which is good).

There appear to be some serious color issues on this. (I say 'appear to be' since it may have been intentional - if it was intentional, I don't think it 'worked'.) Her skin color is way off. Even if she was sunburned, the color is still off. Also, the whites of her eyes are blue. I find this odd since the background is gray shading to white, which leads me to wonder if the eye color wasn't a result of trying to compensate for tooth color or for overdone redness in the skin or for bloodshot eyes...
At any rate, in the future, one of the best ways I have found to correct skin tone without throwing off the color of the skin (ie, adding too much red), is to copy your background layer and convert the copied layer to black and white (I usually use 'desaturate'). You can then adjust the opacity of the b&w layer using the slider until you get a more normal looking skin tone. This helps to correct skin that is too red or too yellow, and I've found that it also helps to correct bloodshot eyes and yellowish teeth without going overboard.
I'd also recommend (if the colors were not done deliberately) that you either have your monitor calibrated or if you work on a flat screen monitor to check your editing on a CRT monitor as flat screens can sometimes distort colors and contrast.
There are some good points to the photo. Her smile is wonderful, the pose is natural, the lighting seems good, and the focus is good. Just need to work on the color.

Well, the eyes are totally blue, the face much too red. Seems there are some odd color issues going around in post processing.
