I've just gone into the character creator and flicked back and forth between faces 1 and 5 for each eye shape setting. The eye sizes and shapes are basically the same except that 5 has more under-eye makeup and dark eyeshadow extending from the outer corner of the eyes.

However, face 5's actual face is smaller so the eyes look proportionately slightly bigger – but also further apart.

Personally I prefer face 1's design. The shape of the eyes looks better to me.
