Starry Eyes

I wanted to use particles to fill in the the shapes of the eyebrows, eyes, and mouth, but this was not possible in the timeframe given. Instead I decided to fill the shapes with a starry pattern using randomly placed points (stars) and then screening them based on the face shapes. Given more time I would make the stars blink, fade, and move slowly to one direction.

Below is a quick sketch of the concept.

Here is the code:
