Not too much of a difference from the last step, I just added the irises of the eyes here. They don't seem to be looking at the same direction though. A good habit to form is to always keep horizontally flipping the image. It helps you to spot the mistakes you become immune to, when you stare at them for too long. Also keep the light source in mind at all times. It is usually most noticeable in the eyes.
I shifted its right eye to match the left. Also added some hue variations to the nose. An excellent way to do this is to set the brush on "soft light" mode and brush lightly. I also added the highlights to the nose. I used a light cyan as the highlight colour here (mostly because it's close to the sky colour, which gets reflected all over the face).
I increased the darkness around the eyes and added highlights to the cheeks to make the eye recede even more. At this point I'm still a little unsure of the angle the Pierrot is standing in. I've also been making tiny adjustments to the face. A soft highlight just besides the lower lip adds a little pout. I've also added bluish highlights to the wet parts of the flowing mascara; it seems to add to the realism.
Ah, I finally painted the black tear! It's one of the features of a pierrot thought I'd keep it opaque, but it looks really stark against the skin. The mascara trail was easy to paint - I just darkened the edges a little bit to show the residue there while the centre was washed out. I erased the eyebrow too and changed the form of the eye socket a bit to make it look like a slight frown.
