Same way as people look different if they cut their hair short/with bangs. Or wear makeup different to what they usually wear, or wear a hat they don’t normally wear.

You mean why do people look different with contacts in instead of glasses?
Or why do people with contacts look different to people without contacts...?

That is because the contact lens is not their original eye color.

Apart from the lack of glasses on their face, it's probably to do with the lenses distorted the size/shape of their eyes from an onlooker's perspective. I'm short-sighted, and when I wear contact lenses I always get lots of comments about how my eyes look so much bigger (i.e. actual size) without my glasses on.
