The usual expression is 'wear a smile on your face' rather than 'on yourself', though.

2. (c) in
3. (c) in

Personally, I wouldn't use any preposition at all in sentence (1), and the word 'themselves' would only be used for emphasis in the first sentence (otherwise, it's unnecessary).

As Conchita mentioned, the preposition 'on' could be used with 'your face', for example.
