Hello! This is my first time putting together a guide for anything, so I hope it isn't too confusing (・・；)

First off, here's an overview of all the facial features used:

Specific adjustments:

Eyebrows - Down 1; apart 1; rotate clockwise 1; shrink 1

Eye Tab 1 - Row 9, column 3; down 1; apart 1; rotate clockwise 1; shrink 1

Eye Tab 2 - Row 2, column 1; up 1; apart 3; rotate clockwise 6; shrink 1

Eye Tab 3 - N/A

Eye Tab 4 - Down 9; closer together 3; rotate counter clockwise 1; lengthen 4 or 5 (depending on your preference. 5 was shown in first image)

Eye Tab 5 - Up 5; apart 4; rotate counter clockwise 2; flatten 4

Eye Tab 6 - Black eye liner on

Eye Tab 7 - Row 2, column 2; left 5; rotate clockwise 8; shrink 1

Nose - Row 1, column 4; down 1; shrink 1

Mouth - Row 6, column 2; lipstick off; shrink 2; flatten 3

Ears - Second pair; up 1; enlarge 1

Blush - Row 1, column 4; 4th grey up from black; up 2; closer together 1; shrink 3; flatten 2 or 3 (3 was shown in first image)

Now, face paint! I only used 4 colors:

Black for the hair and hair part shading.

Dark grey for hair highlights and outline.

A light ashy brown for the hair cast shadows and tired eye lines.

The skin tone (row 1, column 1) to soften said cast shadows.

Tips to keep in mind!

I recommend selecting Paint behind so the shadows can go behind the eyebrows and eyes.

The square shape tool makes it much easier to add hair highlights.

Use the soft-edged brush setting and check Layered and Lock Transparency to create gradients in small areas. You can also color pick between two colors you're trying to blend and use that to further soften the transition, which is what I did for blending the bottom of the hair highlights and lightening the bottom half of the cast shadows on the face.

Once you're done, it should look something like this:
