On the circles’ edges mentioned with the arrows we’ll represent half-transparent transitions. In this case we’ll click on the necessary layer on the bottom part of the layers’ panel on Add a Mask icon and after that choose a brush of black color (Opacity 20%) to clean out the chosen circle.
Let’s represent the highlights on the circles. Create a new layer and choose a brush of white color (Opacity 30%).
Set Blend mode to Overlay for the layer with the highlights:
On the next new layer apply the same brush, but with a smaller diameter to give more shining effect to certain highlights.
Create a new layer again and use here the brush to represent a lot of colored spots around the circles. Take a sample of color out of the circles, using the Eyedropper Tool (I).
Set Fill to 70% for this layer
Take the Pen Tool (P) to represent a tattoo on the girl’s cheek. The tattoo’s color is black.
Put together the shape’s layers composing the tattoo into a rasterized layer (press Ctrl button to select out these layers in Layers panel and then press CTRL+E to Merge Down). Make a click on the bottom part of the layers’ panel on Add a Mask icon and choose a brush of black color (Opacity 20%) to erase the tattoo’s edges.
Try to represent several bubbles under the girl’s neck, choosing in this case the Ellipse Tool (U).
