THis is better definitely.
Color: I assume you're going for a typical Caucasian skin tone here correct? If so, You'll notice if you look carfully that our skin is more pink then it is browny beige, the color of our blood shows through the skin. Looking at this I think I can tell what color you used as a base. My suggestion would be to start with a color that is a little more redish and then from there you can add lighter cooler colors like the browns and yellows and what not that make up the color of skin. The key is to start with the right base color. also, you'll have to use a reference, but the colors on a person's face are not monochromatic, we have various patches of more yellowy bits and redish bits too particularily around the eyes and nose and cheeks, don't be afraid to throw in splashes of random colors.
With that out of the way, I think what you should do to this is add more highlights and shading, to make it more 3d. Not a lot more but just a bit. However I guess I should mention though that highlights don't necessarily follow the same rules you use to color skin (ie: not using white to lighten skin color (If this makes no sense let me know)) Throw in a bit of white above the tip of the nose and on anywhere that light will bounce off more sharply.
For shading, just darken up the parts you have shaded already, particularly in the spot above the eyes toward the start of the eyebrows, that is where it is darkest. but use a more saturated redish brown color.
