I'm a little slow in catching up here . . . don't know if you still have access to the piece. I think you've made some improvements. The lashes under the upper eyelids still seem dark, thick and severe to me. And I'd back off a little on the purply, dark hue/value on top of the forehead, at the hairline (makes it look as though there's a sudden 83 degree turn in the planes of the skull.) I know I said not to keep that light, but now it's gone a bit too far in the other direction.

The whites of the eyes are still quite a bit light, as is the value of the upper eyelids. I think the irises are both slightly large, and the one on our right isn't quite round -- or rather, it appears that we're seeing slightly less than the bottom half of that one, which again contributes to the impression of its being oversized. Slightly lower it and let it round up, the edges curving ever so slightly inward by the time they reach the upper eyelid.

A definite improvement. Good work.
