Oops! Yes I have a ring, but it wasn't on for the picture . You can still come and cook for me though .

moshe3242, I had one alien bee B400 just to the left of the camera, shooting through a white umbrella. Then another behind me, pointing at the backdrop, bouncing off a silver umbrella. I also had a white reflector to the right of the camera, pointing up at my chin.

Thanks much Isis

After studying your image for a while, I'm posting my version. I disagree about using a butterfly lighting. The problem is that your loop lighting has the "loop" too high and too dark. I hope you can spot all that I did.
