Lets start with changing the model's eye colour to match her hat.

Select a pen tool with the diameter that will match the radius of the eye. For this image, 28px was perfect. Select the eyedropper tool and click somewhere over the bright side of her hat, make sure the selected colour was chosen for the primarily colour. Incidentally, I have chosen #46b4a9
