Leslie, the eyes turned out really nice and I hope you correct the drawing as well to make it look super. Since you are using Marvin's palette, you will find that matching the skin tones after having to move something, is easier than ever.
If the color here is close to the painting then I would suggest you examine the skin again. As the forehead turnes towards the viewer next to the highlight is a small section of Terra Rosa Value 8. This is the area immediately over the nose. Scumble this high intensity color to make that area come forward more.
I see you had lightened the area right above her left eye and darkened it again. Look at the shape and mix a bit of grey into the color you used there. That will make it recede without looking dark.
There is a high intensity color right below her right eye, which needs to get toned out. Remember high intensity colors come forward, but that side needs to go back in space.
You could use Terra Rosa Value 8 under the cheek of her left eye. Again scumble to bring that cheek area forward and make it look more lively.
Now to the neck. In her right side I see Indian Red Value 8 greyed down followed by Terra Rosa Value 9 pure, followed by Indian Red Value 8 greyed down.
Please take the Value numbers just as a hint in what neighborhood to pick your color mix from, before choosing to apply it to the painting. Remember I am not looking at the original and am going by what I see on my monitor.
How I miss Marvin's instruction on this forum! He would walk you through it with dead on instruction.
