By default, there’s a mask artboard called eye mask [DO_NOT_REMOVE] and two additional artboards: eye reflection and eye color.

To design the eye texture, create a new layer under the artboard that has the same name as the makeup feature you want to customize in Effect House and draw on the newly created layer.
