I think the harsh lighting is making it look worse than it actually is.
as for eyes, what I do is I give the model a black wash so all the details are picked up (I prime it white), then I try my best to avoid painting the eyes so it remains white, then dot the black with either a small paint brush or sometimes a black felt tip pen.
well i dont like withe primer, so you can see every mistake . but maybe i should give it a try, i heard from a lot of people who do this, that thats helpful
