	Alright, so first I cropped my base. I used this picture of Ashlee Simpson, courtesy of fourletterlie.net/ashlee.
	First I duplicated the base and then went to Adjust > Hue and Saturation > Hue/Saturation/Lightness (or if you're lazy like me just press shift + h). A box should appear and set it like I did here
	Well, this step is easy. All you have to do is set the duplicate layer to color legacy and make opacity 70.
	Whee, I love eyes, so I made a new layer and eyedropped a blue from her eye. I went with #2e528a. Next I got my paintbrush and set it to size 4 and hardness of 50, everything else I left on default. Next I went over the blue part of her eye with the paintbrush and set the layer to dodge. If you made any part other than her eye blue then erase it.
	So now merge your visible layers (Layers > Merge > Merge Visible). Make a new layer, fill it with white or whatever color you want for your outline/background thing. Now move your merged layer to the top, select all (ctrl+a), go to selections > modify > contract and change the number to 3. Now invert your selection (selections > invert or ctrl+shift+i) and delete.
	Mkay, last step. All you have to do now is add a dropshadow with these settings. I moved the layer one pixel up and to the left, just so it looked more centered on the white background, but it really doesn't make a big difference.
