Make yet another duplicate ellipse and reduce the size to 16 by 18 pixels. Duplicate this and place these on either side of the nose.

Bring the nose to the front (Ctrl F)

Select the nose, then select the Transparency Tool. Select Linear from the drop down list on the Infobar. Drag the start and end arrows on the fill path as shown on the left so that the top of the nose fades into the face. The end of the transparency should stop short of the top of the nose, causing it to fade to 100% transparency.

Make a 48 pixel circle and apply a 2-color circular fill using dark and medium green.

Make a smaller circle and apply a black fill for the pupil and make another smaller white circle for the highlight. Group the eye elements, make a duplicate and place the eyes behind the cheeks. (Bring the cheeks and nose to the front).
