I do all my eyes up ahead of time. I use a plastic surface like a coffee can lid. I put small drops of paint, yellow, green, white and tap the lid so they pool out. Then after 10 minutes I add the black pupil. After 2 hours you can peel them off and super glue them on.

Wes, I use a brand called tulip slick in yellow and red (mostly red) for eyes,with black pen or varnish for the pupil.I generally wait 24 hours before adding the pupils just to be suree the paint is dry.When finished I epoxy or varnish the eye. Ashley
