One eye should be clearly evident, which means it would be the left eye since the right eye is in shadow. Having hair across the face is okay, by I want see the soul behind the image.
The wet look can be quite sexy. However it should not be applied to the face as quite evident in the color shot. It glistens the skin and produces high relection which is not sexy. If using on-camera flash, try alternative lighting as it is too harsh or tone it down to 1/128 if possible with a longer shutter speed.
Also, what was your settings? This would be another area to adjustments to get the mood you are after.
Great idea, but I think you can do better. Just my 2 cents worth.
