What I'd do is cut, then apply the dextone. Next gently cut away the dextone on the pupil to make it an even layer(don't have to), then gently cut any dextone off the bordering facets. I will send you the file in a bit. Please keep for your personal use as it is a concept I've played with from awhile and may publish it.
