This is the top edge of the eye. -
Step 2: slightly curved line.

This corner is the outer corner of the eye.
These lines at the inner corner must be slightly parted. ,, Mind this detail: the iris isn't completely shown; it is partially covered by the eyelid, this gives the sense of depth. , Keep in mind, you must draw them on the edges of both eyelids, more on the bottom than on the top.
Try to keep the same distance between them and make them approximately under the same angle.
Draw the top eyelashes longer than the bottom. , It should begin a bit before the inner corner and end at the end of the outer corner.
Make it as angled as you want.
A more distinct angle opens the eye more, but also gives the "fake cosmetics" kind of look, so try to achieve a balance (unless you're drawing elves, this is where intense angles are very welcome). , These can be as near each other or as far apart as you like. ,, It should thin out as you advance toward the outer corner. (This one turned out ugly, though x.x) Color the pupil and the iris, leaving the previously drawn circles white (light reflection).
