Step 3

First, we will enlarge the pupils. Enlarging the pupils will make the model seem more friendly and there have been studies to prove this.

Use the circular marquee tool to create a selection of the pupil.Make the selection a little smaller than the pupil.

Step 4

Now press Ctrl+J to duplicate the selection into a new layer. You should now have a new layer with the pupil as the layer contents.

Step 5

With the new layer, Layer 1, selected, choose Edit > Transform > Scale. Enlarge the pupil to a natural looking size. Remember the amount that you scaled the pupils by because you'll need to apply the same settings to the other pupils later.

Step 6

Select the tool from the tool bar and blur the edges of the pupil so that it doesn't look too sharp. The sharpness of the edge needs to match the sharpness of the photo.

Step 7

Now select the tool from the tool bar and with the hardness set between 0% and 50%, erase the top area of the pupil where it covers the eyelid.

Step 8

Enlarge the pupil of the other eye using the same steps before.

Compare the before and after results. Enlarging the pupils is a very subtle effect and most people won't even notice it. However, it can have a dramatic impact on the look of the model.
