I then added a new layer and used the brush tool in order to color over the image. I erased a little bit that got out of the face and made sure it fit the face of the image.

After that, I applied blending mode and selected "Overlay" and repeated the process for the eyes, lips, hair, and clothes. I then adjusted the hue and saturations in order to make it more real looking.

After this, I made a new layer and filled the image with a blue color. I hid it and then selected all layers' elements and used the lasso tool to make sure there was nothing leaking on the person. I then created a mask on the layer that covered the entire image and inverted it to make the outside of the person colored.
