Although the light is very uniform you do have some modeling, enough for a beauty shot, although more would also have been good. The hair blowing is not ideal, imo, but not a disaster, by any means.
Her lipstick works and is very much a match for the warmth in her hair colour, well done. If she is wearing any other make-up it is lovely, or is her complexion just fab, or have you done a great airbrush job? The point is, I can't tell, and that is how it should be when you go for a natural look, as here.
I don't know if you deliberately coloured the background to match her eyes but either way, well done. To my thinking making the background either perfectly even or more uneven might have looked better but now I am really being tough.
I think it looks great!!
The only thing that I would do is tone down the red in the part in her hair. Kinda stands out to me.

It is very good indeed. I am sure she'll love it.
Thank you both, I loved hearing your insight.
Love the minimal smoothing. She has a very natural look, to me. I agree on the hair movement....it looks ok, but not sure it fits here.
