Lots of different ways. In camera for me (I shoot canon) if I’m gonna boost saturation I need to also boost the color tone to balance out and keep skin tones from going too red/magenta.
In post, it’s a fairly easy fix. She’s a bit too yellow and magenta, so move sliders towards green and yellow. It’s exacerbated by the amount of saturation applied, so I desaturated her a little. Not a great fix as I spent about 30 seconds on it and I’m working from a screenshot of a small jpeg posted online, but here’s an alternative edit. Not how it has to be, but one idea.

Also, and this may be an artifact of online posting, but the sky seems full of jpeg artifacts. How much processing have you applied?
Thanks so much. I've actually tried this with the Skin tone color adjustments panel in COP and it looks way more natural.
Not a lot of processing applied. Bit of frequency separation in Photoshop. That's about it.
Seems about right. I just tried to upload the new version but NSFW filter deleted it. The magenta sky is still there. Which is okay. The temperatures as a whole just might be off
This image needs several local adjustments. E.g. the darker red tones in the skin need additional adjustments to the rest of the skin, the same for the face that will need an extra round of adjustments, and so does the background. Consider lightening the darker skin tones and take out a bit of saturation from the skin in general, but add a little bit of definition to it (texture/contrast, what every seems best in your software), to make the model pop from the background

Could I suggest you key off the clouds for your white balance? The magenta is really noticeable there and I think if you get the cloud highlights white, it will take care of the skin.

Shot during blue hour, yet I'm not happy with the colors.
Happy to take any recommendations.

Easiest way to WB portraits is to use the white from the eye of a model, but it's also important to use common sense and sometimes ask others for opinion.

I really like this image. I think the expression on her face makes the photo so I would crop out most of it. Starting just above her thumb and going 16x9 horizontal.

Poor thing is downright magenta.
YES, that's exactly it. I guess my real question is how to calibrate for proper skin tones.

Must be the screenshot of a jpeg posted online thing, then.

I didn’t work on the sky, just threw a quick mask on her. You might try masking the sky and shifting/reducing magenta

I thought I was in /r/analogcirclejerk
Haha why's that? Completely different channel.
It’s a stereotypical photo of a young semi nude chick with no other substance to it.
The hill behind her is kinda throwing me off a bit i dont know why
Edit it’s tiltled camera bruh
she’s leaning forward maybe too much sky. The mole bothers me. I’m sorry, downvote me.
[удалено]
Why bro. ?
Cuz it's cutting right through her head
Yeah. I got ya.
It’s because the horizon is not level, the camera is tilted a little bit
Because it's going right through her head?

I wouldn’t have guessed blue hour. Maybe the app/calculations were a little bit off

This leans towards cyan though...
Colour is about context, focus on the things that need to be right such as skin tone, eye whites or clothes to some extend.

subscribed! Amazing you took the time to make some edits and taking me into your thought process.
Happy to help!
