I am Debra from Singapore. This is my solution:

(IG stands for information given. S stands for solution.)

IG: Will and Jill are smiling. Jill has big eyes.
S: There are three faces which are smiling. One of them has big eyes. This is Jill.
IG: Lil and Will have big noses. Will is smiling.
S: There are two faces with big noses. One of them is smiling. This is Will. The other one with a big nose is Lil.
IG: Bill sad. This means he is frowning.
S: The two people who are left: one which is frowning and one which is smiling. The one who is frowning is Bill. The very last one is Phil.
