Needle Sculpting.
This will give natural look to the face.
Insert the needle in the center of neck. Stitch out to right inner eye
corner, about 2mm from the original stitch. Bring the needle out to
the center of the neck. Apply a little bit of tension on the thread,
not much. The more you pull, the more the eye will sink back into the
head. Repeat for left eye.
