I want to make a more realistic zombie.

I would probably do something like, make her skin more white and blue/green like her face, so there would be no more healthy skin color left. Then I would make blood splatter on her face more red and looking wet. I would also make dark veins around her nose pop and achieve 3D effect if it is possible.

But I don't know how. All I can do is play around with the sliders in raw therapee.

you sure as hell can't do that in rawtherapee or light-room.
Neither of those programs is for special effects. 3D and texture work take far more than "moving a slider"

>I know it is a shitty photo. I've focused on the scars on her neck instead of her eyes

Perfectly fine photo if you're displaying scar makeup in a dressing room. You made the right call.

>thinking I'm being clever producing hazy zombie eyes
The right call for the wrong reasons. I don't think you're going to ever really get that face makeup to look real with her standing in front of her co-workers in a brightly lit office.

About the zombie eye thing - look at this scene from Shaun of the Dead. In this movie, zombie makeup is a splash of fake blood and some contacts. Always the contacts. Maybe next time you could recreate this digitally? No individual zombie looks impressive in this movie, but it's still worth stealing from.
