	a darker blush on the lower eyelid at the edge of each eyes ;) And perhaps you want to draw a thin soft line at the upper eyelid to make it appear double eyelidded? Sorry my english is screwed lol XDXD My brain has been doing to much homework XD (Reply to this)

the lining on the top lid looks good. Something is off on the lower though. I think maybe you're pink is too dark or or either it is clashing with the eyelashes.... maybe a soft line on the lower at least covering the section where the eyelashes are... maybe it would break it up and seem more natural.
That suggestion could be just a personal thing though. I have all of 1 doll without lower eye lining, and he's one that i purchased with a faceup that I intend to wipe in the near future...

Top is good, bottom liner something darker maybe? I tend to go with black or dark brown for girls, for guys the same but not all the way to the tear duct, just to where the lashes end.

I think ones you put in the eyelashes and the eyes, you will find it will look more like what you want. If you can at least temporarily try this on one side, you will get a better idea of how the doll will look when done.

I also put just a slight bit of gloss along the rim after the last coat of sealer, just to give it a finished look, but that is up to the individual.

Try the temp lashes and eye.

It looks like a great start to me.

My thoughts:

On the photos themselves, there seems to be a pink overtone, so I can't tell if the inside of the lower lid is that bright. I'd guess that it isn't and it's a function of the photo.

If that's the case, and the color is good in person, I'd leave the lower lashes/lids alone.

Half-lidded (dreaming) eyes are hard, no questions asked.

I agree with nikitadacosta's comment about a secondary eyelid (look at my NaNuRi 07 if you need references for where to put those tiny little lines) though a very fine line is needed. Anything thick will end up with the Tammy Faye Bakker effect.

You might also want to shade a bit of brown on the upper eyelids like you would for eyeshadow... but wipe most all of it back off, or he'll look like David Bowie in Labyrinth. (And while that's not a bad thing, it may not be what you are going for!)

(I have found 'eyeshadow' is best done as a powdered pastel brushed on as the powder itself kind of like real eyeshadow is.)

The 'eyeshadow' will help blend in that harsh line between skintone and upper lid paint, and once you add the eyelashes, it will smooth over even more and look more natural.

Ok, hope that helps!

	I would say maybe a bit more shading around the eye. Especially the upper lid. Maybe a small, very light line on the upper lid. (Reply to this)

That looks good. This may not be the look you want but if I were you I'd extent the top liner further out on the outer corner of the eye socket (so it kind of blends in with the bottom lashes (which you can probably add a few more lighter strokes to make it look more natural)? The bottom too the inside of the socket could be lined too (darker color). You should probably add lines above the eyes to create the look of eyelids too ^^ Then add more shade around the eyes ^_^
