Continuity mistake: When Madeline is given the card with address of Lisle Von Rhoman on it, she tears it down the middle into two, and the two pieces she tears are torn neatly and straight down the middle. Yet later, when Madeline takes the two pieces of the card from her bag, they are torn much differently, and aren't torn straight and neatly. (00:19:45 - 00:28:20)

Answer: Actually, they're both wearing coloured contacts. If you look at timestamp 01:17:23 when they say "Pleeeaase" to Ernest, you can see they're both wearing contacts. Meryl's aren't as noticeable, but they are the bluish-purple/periwinkle colour Ernest was using when he was painting her touch-ups on the pool table.

Answer: Ernest painted Madeline's eyes before she came down the stairs. He even notes that the balance in her eyes were messed up.

Answer: Her eyes changed when she fell into the hot tub. They were essentially boiled.

My interpretation was that when she was shot, she completely bled out, thus all color of her skin and eyes would fade away.

But there's no blood inside eyeballs?

There are several blood vessels that supply blood to the eyeball. The cornea is the only part of the body not supplied by blood.

It wasn't a hot tub she fell into. It was a little pond. No hot water.

Answer: It could be because Helen was shot; therefore, losing a lot of blood could affect the colour of her eyes, as well as drowning in the fountain. On the other hand, Madeline's eyes probably didn't change because she broke her neck, which wouldn't affect blood flow much.
