Mark my dear friend. Please do not despair for all is not lost. This can be a wonderful peace of art if you do not stop now. I like what you have done thus far. There are but minor tweaks here and there and you will have a work you can be proud to showoff.
If you will allow me to suggest. My suggestion may seem drastic but if you will but think about it.

First, if you would paint over the eyebrow in the local hue to start with. Yes, no eyebrows for now. Than place a dead color over the eyes. Why? In order to reshape the entire area by giving it exact form and flow of tone. The eyes that you have drawn seem to small for the size of the head even though you are looking up. They need form or at least indication of form but first things first. So, I suggest you reform this part of the head. Below the eyes it looks to be ok.
The lips, ton down the edges or even ton down all the lips close to local hue and then reintroduce the hue that you wish but sparingly keeping in mind the flow of value and form that you wish to exaggerate.

As for the other comments they will not be a problem at all you
