I did a few things, I played with the curves (ctrl+m and moved the middle of the line up and the very bottom left to the right). Dodged a bit on the left side of her face. I used auto contrast & tone (I don't usually do that but in this case it worked). I matched the color of the background around the shadow and painted that color over the shadow. Then I used a little bit of lens blur on her face in a different layer, masked it and put it where I wanted it. After that I made another layer, smart sharpened it, masked it and made it sharp on the eyes, mouth and hair only. I hope this makes a little sense, I'm awful at explaining myself! Oh and I also did some burning around her eyelashes.
