Dawntrail Benchmark 1.1 Feedback/Bug

Third time's the charm; I spoke with GM Avensocybe (thank you, they were great!) to make sure everything is proper in here, and I was told to repost this.

World name: FFXIV Dawntrail Benchmark v1.1

Steps:
1. Open Benchmark v1.1
2. Load or Create Hyur Midlander F
3. Select Face 5
4. Select Eye Shape 3

Hello, I posted this in the larger Female Midlander thread, but I would like to see this addressed and figure it would help it be seen here as well:

Face 5, Eye Shape 3. The eye makeup in both current patch and the 1.0 benchmark were fine, there was a depth to it, the lashes looked natural and not out of place against the water line, though it looks a little strange like it's not completely fitted to the eye, but the current benchmark the shading has gone:

And with a red circle notating the exact issue on just the eyes; the 1.1 version I had to swing the camera some to get the eyes shaded slightly, since the lighting on the default view was very bright and made some of the details invisible, but swinging the camera did help it look like what I had in the first two:

From this shot you can see the current patch has some shading to make the eye look natural and the water line looks natural with the lashes around it; B1.0 it's darker and not as much shading but still some definition around the eye and the eyeliner on the water line, but the definition from both current patch and B1.0 is completely gone in B1.1, making it look very flat and like her bottom lashes are glued on poorly when you look at it head on. It's the only real issue I have with her look, and I'm happy overall, but the eyelashes look off compared to the eyes on an otherwise fine look.

I'm not sure if the eye needs to be enlarged just a bit, or if there needs to be shading to make the eyelid on the bottom look more natural (it looks more natural in the current patch), or if the lashes need to be moved up just a bit with more natural eyelid shading around the eye, but one of those would probably make it look nicer. As of now on the benchmark 1.1, it looks like the eyelashes are just glued on the face. Running the benchmark itself it's still noticeable while in motion and it looks jarring.
