Original image
step 1 of 7
Duplicate image of African man. Select original. Select Filter>Other>Highpass. I think that I set it to 72.
step 2 of 7
Select Copy layer. Select overlay.
Add vector mask.
Zoom in and focus on eyes. Use eyedropper to choose a light color (grey/blue) from his pupil. Color the entire iris with this color. Then use eye dropper to choose a white or something close to white from his eyeball. Paint his eyeball. Use overlay.
Add a curves layer. Select strong contrast.

step 3 of 7
Use Quick mask by clicking Q to select the tips and edges of one of his ears. Click Q again, CTR/CLK I to invert the selection. Choose Edit>Transform>Warp. Pull the box corners out to shape ears to a point. Repeat on other ear.
step 4 of 7
Two ears.
step 5 of 7
Use Quick mask to warp his hair also.
step 6 of 7
Flatten image. Although, you may have wanted to do that earlier on.
Add a vector mask.
Choose a color of your choice. I chose a woodsey green. Choose a fancy brush to make a design on his forhead. To make a symetric pattern Duplicate the layer and Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontal. Do the same for cheek decorations.
Depending on the color you chose and the effect you're going for, Choose a blending style. Overlay is always good.

step 7 of 7
The last thing I did was make use of a photo that was originally a mistake. I coppied and pasted, transformed it to fit and used the vector mask to put it behind the man's face and shoulders. Then I think that I used Hard mix. But that would just depend on what you use for a background.
