I'm using Bijin skin textures, UNP bodies with High Poly Heads and a variety of eye/hair/overlay mods. I seem to recall having a special mod for that sparkle in their eyes here on LE, so let me know if it's something you want me to look up!
Thank you, my dear!
I think the overlays like the ones created by Lamenthia are perfect for create more realistic characters (I just love her mod so much). Some textures, especially for females, looks plastic and "too young and pretty" for my taste, so I had a hard work searching something I trully like. Atm I am using a "Frankenstein's monster" of SG + Real Girls (from Demoniac mod), with the lips of Tempered Skins for Females + the 3d maps of Smooth Faces for Ladies and Gents, that removed the round childish cheeks of my female characters, especially the elven ladies. I did this mix in Paint.net and Photoshop and for me it is working very good.
That said, the eye reflection mod should be either one of these two:
Eye Normal Map Fix
or
Ilygaid Eye Improver
I seem to recall not having that much of an eye effect with my former ENB in LE though, so it might depend on what you're using. The one I use now - Caffeine ENB - is very good at sharpening details, so it might visualize this effect a lot better. Lets hope for some success at least for you, because that extra sparkle in the eyes is very appealing, especially in darker areas.
I started out using SG Female Renewal skin textures back in 2016, then switched to Demoniac, then Mature Skin and the latest in LE was Pride of Valhalla. I just recently changed to Bijin skin textures since I use it in SE and wanted as much similarity as possible between LE presets and SE presets. Lamenthia's overlay is a "must have" for me, just as Frecklemania 2, Skin Feature Overlays and the dirt textures from XCE...
When I have this issue recently with my game I tried (with Saint Manu's help) to use Mod Organizer, but for some reason I didn't adapted to it so I returned for the Community version of Nexus Mod Manager, as I already know how to use it and how to organize my things.
I also use Skin Features Overlays and is a marvel, together with Lamenthia is a must have for sure!
Impossible to pick a fav for me, all looks fabulous.
In this batch, I lean towards Amathin myself... She looks so real!
Imma go crawl off into a corner and set my pc on fire.
Don't be too harsh on your PC! Mine is six years old by now, so I'm getting sidetracked by a lot of other screenarchers nowadays. I even play Skyrim on a ten year old rig, purely vanilla, when my kids occupy this PC! There's always a place for an old machine if it can run Skyrim...

I will still focus on my travels with Ragna in Skyrim LE, but I will most certainly return to some of the other characters as well, especially when they look like this. Sadly my elves don't look good at all since the change, but at least they look magnificent in my Skyrim SE...
Thank you!
Although i loved Salina's eyes so much, i think my fav is Arrian! Such a decisive and confident expression!
Salina is a rather shy thief lass with eyes that can steal anything without someone noticing it while Arrian is rather the opposite, a very confident, loud and prominent dragonslayer and a minor lord of his homeland..
Great characters ! Very powerful looks on all of them
Of course, different ENBs changes things slightly too...
