Fascinating
The eye brows are fine actually. I agree that they in particular are the same. So I need to clarify again: I did exaggerate the features based on the "soul" of the sum of the face, if that makes sense. But that exaggeration was not done to mislead and say "those features objectively look like that".
It was to show how, from an artistic perspective, I'd capture her essence. Like when a caricaturist can take a rather neutral feature and warp it in one or the other direction in order to emphasise certain (character) traits.

For me the biggest issue is the mouth and the puffed up cheeks and how they affect the "sum" of the face. The eyes are also slightly softer, esp. because of the thicker eye lashes and the bigger pupils (the old ones are smaller and lead to more of a stare), but not much (I can live with the eyes).

But the mouth has gone from, what to me looks rather skeptical and non-smiling, to a gently smiling puckered doll-ish mouth. The lips used to be rather convex, now they are concave.

I can only really use the make-up example again: Depending on how you put make-up on the same lips you can create a completely different effect. A person/their mouth might look like a completely different feature. (E.g., K-Pop gradient lips vs. overlining matte lips or sth.).

The eyes can't counter the effect of the mouth for me, so now she's even more milque-toast. Probably even eats cookies for breakfast. :/
