I started out with a image of Britney Spears and cut out the background with the magic wand tool, then under that layer I created a background layer with a white color.

Now start by making a copy of your Britney layer, I just renamed them 1 and 2.
With the top layer selected go to image -> adjustments -> desaturate to make the layer black and white.

Hide the black and white layer by clicking the eye next to the layer in the layers panel.
Now make a new empty layer and zoom in on one of the eyes, then grab your polygonal selection tool. click around the inner eye to get its selection, then hold down shift and press backspace and fill it with a default color.

Make the black and white Britney Spears layer visible again by clicking where to get its eye visible again in the layers panel.

10.
Now while having the black and white layer selected make a mask layer, now you see a mask layer at the right side of the black and white britney layer, when you select the mask layer and paint with white, then you erase stuff, and paint with black then you bring things up. So hold down the ctrl key and click the eyes layer, to load the selection, then paint with black inside the eyes to bring forth the colors from the layer beneath. Do the same with the mouth layer.
