How to Change Eye Color in Paint

Change the eye color in your photo with Microsoft Paint.

Whether you're experimenting with a new look before getting colored contact lenses or just want to see how you'd look with a new eye hue, you can instantly change your eye color using Microsoft Paint. Paint, which comes free as part of your Windows operating system, is a basic drawing and sketching graphics program. It won't make your photo look magazine-realistic, but you'll be able to play around with a palette of new colors for your eyes. Within just minutes, you can have violet vampire eyes, cool blue eyes, or even a copper cats-eye style.

Instructions

1. Open Paint, pull down the "File" menu and click "Open." Browse to a location on your computer with a head shot or close up photo. Double click the file name to open it in the Paint workspace.

2. Click the "Magnifier" tool on the "Tools" palette on the left side of the screen and zoom in on one of the eyeballs as close as possible.

3. Click the "Paintbrush" tool on the "Tools" palette and select the small round brush head. Choose a new eye color from the "Color Picker" at the bottom of the screen.

4. Click inside the colored part of the eye in the photo and replace the current color with the new color you chose. If you happen to draw over the pupil, just switch to the black paint color and paint over it again.

5. Click the "Magnifier" tool and zoom in on the other eye; use the same paint color for a uniform look or choose a different paint color for a punk, Gothic look.
