Stylized MetaHuman in UE 5.6: Eyelid and Pupil Conflict

Development Character & Animation

Hi, I’m using Unreal 5.6. I created a stylized MetaHuman inside the Creator by importing the head and the body (Conform > From Template). I’m having issues with the eyes—when they blink, the lid goes inside the eye. I’m trying to fix it by adjusting the skin weight of the eyelid, but I end up modifying the eye and the pupil. Is there a way to block the mesh I don’t want to touch or isolate the one I want to modify?

If anyone has a better option to fix this blink issue, I’m all ears.

Thanks

(In the image below, both eyes are close)

I had a character with somewhat large eyes, not as large as yours so not sure if it’ll work, but in the Metahuman Creator Editor, using the sculpt mode, I simply pulled the eyelids a bit forward, just enough until they would cover the eyes when closed.
