If you want the face to be as attractive as possible, you might want to concentrate a bit more on the symmetry of things here and there, especially the lower part of her face.
There's a fine line between going too far, towards overt flattery (and losing the likeness in the process) and being starkly honest about how our subjects look, imperfections and all.
It is, of course, a totally subjective decision, and one for you to make with each painting. Studies have shown, though, that we perceive a face as more attractive (and therefore ascribe all kinds of positive characteristics like kindness, intelligence, etc.) to faces that are more symmetrical.
