I shot this using a homemade gold reflector. So what do you think, is the light nice or is the gold way too much?

Underexposed is the problem, lighten it up and it may work....But really it is up to you as to whether you think it is to much or not.

You missed the set-up. Her eyes are dark, the left side of her face and that eye is lighter than the the right. Looking from the cameras view.
How big was the reflector ????
The pose looks uncomfortable too ;)

The gold reflector does a good job of warming an image up nicely but it can be overdone. I am Not saying this image is in that genre. The fill light is a wee bit too strong but not extremely.
