Back in time 2000 years with Photoshop.

Well, I have no idea how this was done as my wife did it in photoshop for a bit of fun, thought I'd share it though as I found it quite cool.

No worries, here it is as shes written it out for me, she says any queries, just ask ......

Choose your base file.... Photograph
Duplicate the layers twice fast way control j + another control j
Now you have three of your image.
Never touch your bottom image leave it as you are happy with it.
First top layer in your layers use soft light – then go to filters and use a Gaussian blur at 60
Second layer.. Again the same but use hard light and 60 Gaussian
But now you have a blured image, you can tone down the opacity on both layers to 50%
If you are creating a full on model sometimes those blurs at 100% can give an amazing change.
Layer one using a fine brush eraser take out the eye section and do the same on layer 2
Now you have your real eyes but a soft finish all over.
You can even leave the eyes coloured.
For the tattoo/eye make up, do a new layer and gently draw the pattern you want, using a soft normal brush with about 30% opacity until you get it spot on... when you are happy again use the Gaussian blur, make it blend to the face, if you have any overlap click on your first or second layer, target the eye holes, click back to the pattern layer and delete ... that way you retain perfect eye shape.

Hope that all makes sense.
