Sorry for the newbie question, but I've been trying out the Lazarus Project and ended up with a rather comical-looking Shepard. The lips look particularly weird - but I think the eyes I can tweak with Gibbed. I just really want the lashes, to be honest 
So, I know you can leave a certain region unmapped, but how exactly is this accomplished?
I tried both of the Lazarus maps with both exe's (1-1 and 18 I think), and my Shep always came out looking a little weird. The mouth wasn't right, and there seemed to be clipping (teeth maybe) around the left side of the mouth. I figured it might be the mouth #1 problem some people have talked about, so I imported her face into a new game and switched to mouth #7, which is nearly the same. After exporting the headmorph and importing it to my in-progress playthrough, I tried Lazarus again. Same clipping problem and weird looking mouth. Unchecking "Adjust OffsetBones" with either of the Lazarus maps made her look like a serial killer, so that option was out.
So what I did was use Astralify's map with "Adjust OffsetBones" unchecked. This got her the eyelashes, but didn't appear to make any other noticable changes.
I think the missing eyelashes are a big part of what's making people's Shepards look odd. My Shep isn't perfect, but she's mostly recognizable as being the same as ME2. The lack of eyelashes and the pasty complextion are my big issues. I didn't even realize the eyelashes were gonzo until I saw it in this thread - I just knew that
something was seriously off. I'm sure a lot of the female players probably picked up on it right away though.
