I highly recommend the following mods for anyone playing on PC:

FINALLY actual fixed female face normal maps at Skyrim Nexus - Skyrim Mods and community
No Dirty Bodies - Caucasian Female Races at Skyrim Nexus - Skyrim Mods and community

These made my character look a million times better. I really struggled to create an attractive looking character and basically gave up after a point, but it ended up working out once I put these mods into place. If you want to go a step further there is already a full nude mod.

Also, this one is just awesome:

Enhanced Night Skyrim at Skyrim Nexus - Skyrim Mods and community
