I don't think this will do very well because I am not young, beautiful and thin. Thought it would be fun and good practice utilizing what lighting I have. Took alot of shots. Finally settled on this one and went with the trendy high contrast portrait effect. Used an old antique mirror.

Beautiful portrait! Love it! Your eyes are very soft and loving. Eyes are so important in a portrait! I like the slight smile and the pose you chose. Reminds me of someone praying. The exposure and coloring are very appealing! Great job! You've shown a lot of creativity in your self portrait series!
This self portrait is captured with great dramatic effect due to the perspective being slightly from below and the tight crop. I get the feel of old Hollywood a la Liz Taylor, even though it is in color. It must be the sharp green eyes, beautifully detailed hair and the high contrast PP. Very nice job with the exposure, keeping the lighting on the forehead from being too harsh and blown out.
Haunting and beautiful! Your eyes OMG then leading up to the silver hair, Well this is just a beautiful self portrait!! (if my hair would look that kind of silver gray I wouldn't color it! LOL)
