The hair and eye lashes do indeed allow for greater realism. However, the real star is your wonderful paint work.
The eyebrows look great, how did you accomplish that?

Really great job with this build up and paint job!
I'm amazed at how you brought a blank canvas to life and I'm really glad you captured the expression I tried to bring out in the sculpt.
