First you need to find an image you would like to colourize and open it in PSP. If it is not already, greyscale it by pressing shift and L and setting the saturation to 0.

I am using this image:

Make a new layer. Use a soft round brush with the colour #bf662a to go over all of the skin. Make a another new layer and do the same but with the colour #e1bd8f. Set both
layers to Softlight at 100 %.

Now for the lips and the eyes. For the lips I used a dark red because I want red lips. If you want pink lips use a dark pink. I set it to Color, but you might change it to
Softlight. I also erased the bits that looked a bit weird. (the shiney relection bits and the teeth.)

For the eyes I picked a blueish colour (#6d8c8e) and then used a soft round brush and clicked a few times in the center with a brown colour. So it looked like this:

And I set it to colour:

Since SJ has blonde hair I used a goldish colour, (#8c7645) covered the hair and set it to Softlight and then duplicated it.

I thought it looked a bit plain (the hair) so I got different shades of brown and scribbled it on the top layer. (of the hair):

I went back to the base (B&W image) and used the burn tool to go over the eyebrowse because I thought they looked to light.
So now your done. You can do whatever else to it you like. I resized mine so it looks a bit neater and so its not so big.
