Which pair of eyes? (Now with a face-up)

[MitisFeles]

Hi all!
While waiting for having some time to make a face-up for Uliat, I finally started to receive some of his other parts.



I got his wig (that needs a serious trim) and his glass eyes with black sclera and white-grey iris. They looks awesome in person, but they was really difficult to place and even more difficult to show in photo: in this one I had to put a LED lamp in front of him!



I received with samples from Pabol Eyes these grey cat iris acrylics, and they fits really well...


so well that I'm currenty torn between the two pair. Which do you prefer the most?

I really like the 2nd pair. They not one show up better, but they're also really pretty and seem fitting.

I like the second pair better, but that might just be because they show up better!

I really love the first pair, but I think the second pair looks best in him. Next time you buy doll things, maybe get a pair of the first eyes in a size down (eg if the ones you have are 16mm, try 14mm)? That always works wonders with some eyes, especially with half-closed sculpts.
Then again, some eyes just don't like showing up. My DZ Mo has 12 or 14mm eyes that fit him perfectly, and they're just so dark they never show up in pictures. :/

Thanks for the suggestion, Jem! Unfortunately these black sclera eyes are already a size down (they are 12 mm when 14 mm is the suggested size for this sculpt) and they give me a lot of difficult when placing because they have an high dome shape (and I didn't imagine it from the listing, because there was only a frontal photo) that touches the eyelid because of the half-open eyed sculpt instead of pop out.
Maybe I can try with custom eyes in the future... or maybe as you said there is only a case of eyes that doesn't like to show them up ^_^'

I am preferring the second set of eyes, too. Both look good, but they look better.

I like both pairs, but the second pair look better in him, judging by the pictures. If I saw them in person, it may be different.

The second pair are much easier to see.

It seems I'm in the minority here, but I prefer the pair with black sclera!

Thank you all very much for your feedback!
Today I finally gave Uliat a face-up, and being already tired of having remade his lips 4 time (and I will probably have to remade his eyebrows..) I didn't want to wrestle with the black sclera pair and put on the grey ones. I still have to put his eyelashes, when they arrive, so I'll probably try the other pair in that occasion.
