Okay, thanks for explaining!
Well, you had a good start: lighting helps create a mood quite effectively. Hiding features makes the expression only more mysterious and shifty. Stark lighting is a good choice. Think about where the light is coming from and its impact on the face. Think about the point of view: is it a disturbing close-up to the face, or is there a distance between us and the face?
I think the palette could do with some changes, and you could add a secondary light source in the mix. You could, for instance, go for a desaturated palette with a strong blue secondary lightsource.
