Yes, you're right about this too. On very high notes, actually you do engage the muscles that are below your eyes and on the sides of your nose. (If you can tense these, then you have control of them. If you can't.....self-explanatory.)
One of the keys to playing high is to "retard" the full effort of your muscles until you have full effort at the highest note you want to play. It's really hard to explain how to do this, but you can think about it. As the muscles get stronger, your full effort will happen at a higher pitch.
