2. For your eyes only

Eyes are probably the easiest work on a face, and the one that gives the best results. I like girls with sparkling eyes. Colour and tone are what I deal with. Changin eyes'colour is quite simple. First, you select the iris - not the white part - to work only on it. In my software, there's a control named "mask" that allows you to do it.

Then you should simply choose an option that allows you to add-take away the primary colours. This way, you can make brown become blue, or blue gray, and so on. It's more than elsewere a matter of tastes. I find blue eyes perfect for blondes, green or grey for black-haired, light brown for brown-haired... But you choose, of course. I try to avoid the normal brown, since here in Italy it's so common. I bet in Sweden they like girls with black eyes... As a sample, let's give her some grey.

Not a big improvement, isn't it? The fact is, colour-change is just a part of the work. keeping the same mask, you should also touch up brighteness, contrast and so on. My software, for instance, has an option that allows you making middle tints brighter, not changing very light or very dark colours. So you can have a brighter iris, while the pupil, which is black - if your model isn't a Bladerunner android - , remains black. Only your sensitivity can guide you. I made her eyes look brighter.
