Problem is IMO that your processing is aimed at clearing up the shadow side of her face, which causes the rest of the colors/pictures look to lackluster and flat (makes e.g.het hair look gray, rather then black with possible highlights caused by reflecting some of the light)
I would simply use e..g. the 'Color Points' option in Nikon Capture NX (old 1998-2006 version, don't own nor am a fan of Photoshop and the likes) or similar option in any other processing program you have, to overall add more contrast and saturation, locally regain details in the shadow parts like face, stomach, arm in the shadow, pull down and saturate the highlit portions of the arm closest closest to your light, and desaturate and near over expose (causing to to better blend with the white background) the carpet on the floor.
Can't attach a sample of how I would have processed the picture (will be sending it to you in a email though) but the picture is basically pretty much OK, only needs some local pushing and pulling.
Edit:
Managed to make a link to the picture I (temporarily) filed on line
