This Magic Eye app gives you hundreds of different pupil color templates and styles to try on – from natural eye colors to sparkly purples and feline eyes. You can even use it to remove red eye in your photos (free, iOS).

These apps are great for personal entertainment and might come in handy at times. We recommend sticking with natural photos most of the time though – let your inner beauty shine!
