I know you put completed but I was playing with this and  - I don't know what happened but this is the result - very tricky!!   ;D ;D  I wasn't even trying to colour - it just happened! 
Hope you don't mind me posting!!   ::)    - it looks worse on here - don't feel confident to smooth the face without losing everything!

 It's not nearly as good as what you've got - just different!   ;)

Hi this is my try and thanks Mowi for the higher res photo. My stance on this was not to mess with the face too much. its not clear whether she had a stern look, or softer features so i left it as it was and simply removed the damage. Hope you like it!
