A couple cents' worth, since folks are focused on the eyes . . .
What's catching "my eye" is the tiny dark crescent on the viewer's left of the bridge of the nose, just inside the eye on our left. This crescent is doing two things: 1) making it appear that the inside corners of the eyes are at considerably different heights, respectively, and 2) making the bridge of the nose appear to be strongly angled off the centerline of the face, to our right. (That is, I get that feeling that if she turned to look straight at us, the nose would be tilted about 15 degrees to the right as it rose from nostril to brow. Also, it seems odd to be able to see the entire eye on the left, in a 3/4 view, and it seems to me that it's partly caused by this dislocation of the bridge of the nose). When I really squint down enough to make that little dark crescent disappear, everything suddenly looks more correctly situated, without affecting the exotic character of the face that people are finding interesting. Try it, see what you think.
