One of the major foundations of a good painting is the clear delineation between light and shadow. The way light falls on a form will define that form.
I think that although you have very detailed lights and shadows, you have failed to see the overall pattern of light as different from the shadowed side of the face.
Also, your reflected lights break up your shadow too much. Try using a pure color of a similar value to the shadow in order to keep the shadow intact.
