You did well on the color change, I would have left the necklace & errings the original color tho.

Not sure what to say.. you did successfully change her skin color. Though the border near her hands and between her skin and dress near her boobs and her chin have visible lines where the editing is obvious.

Not sure how else we're to critique it.

The blue looks good, but I'm not sure about the texture you put on it. Kinda throws me off...

As was mentioned before, yep, you changed her skin color to blue. My only question is what kind of direction you're taking this artistically?

Reminds me of the diva in Fifth Element except no tentacles, too short and I'll bet my mother she can't sing as well.

Sorry, but was this just for funsies or were you trying to get that standing corpse look?

The colour change was done ok, I guess... but I would've left her jewelry, eyes, and eyebrows untouched.

It's a cool image. In general I like it. Just touch up the edges especially lower right, of her skin and remove the blue from her eyes, lips and necklace. I don't personally mind the texture... after all... her skin is blue,. Texture isn't a big jump from that.
