Did you ever wish that you had a different eye color? Or maybe you just want to do something a bit crazy and have different color eyes for each party? Color contacts can do wonders for your appearance, but only if you select
right type and color. Learn how to get best out of your color lenses, what your options are and what to consider when selecting color contacts. Do color lenses really change your eye color and look natural?
This is a question that worries most people who want to try color contacts for first time. After all, you want people to think “what gorgeous eyes she has” not “what nice contact lenses she wears”.
Color lens manufacturers are aware of issue and try to make color contacts look vivid, yet natural. There is a lot of sophisticated technology involved in brand name color contacts like Acuvue 2 Colors or Freshlook. The lens isn’t just solid color, it has a pattern similar to pattern of a human eye. Also color isn’t consistent throughout lens, just like in most people eyes. See color contact lens comparison
Color lens choices for light eyes
Depending on effect you want to create, people with light eyes can wear enhancement or opaque color contacts. If you just want to enhance your natural color, half transparent, enhancement lenses would be great for you. The best choices are:
Acuvue 2 Colors Enhancers - to brighten your eyes. Freshlook Radiance - lenses with an illuminating effect that enhances your color and makes your eyes appear sparkly. Freshlook Dimensions - unique lens design makes your eyes appear not only brighter but also creates impression of depth and dimension.If you feel adventurous and want a dramatic change, go for opaque lenses:
Acuvue 2 Colors opaques Freshlook ColorblendsIf it is your first time with color contact lenses and you aren’t sure what effect you want, start with enhancement lenses. This way your friends will notice that you look more appealing, but they probably won’t notice what it is about you that attracts their attention.
Color contact lenses for dark eyes
If you have very dark eyes and tried color contact lenses a few years ago, you probably were not very impressed with effect. Contacts of previous generation didn’t look quite right. However, recently developed color lenses like Freshlook Colorblends can do wonders for dark eyes.
One thing to remember, however, is that enhancers don’t work on brown eyes, so your only choice is opaque contact lenses. Acuvue 2 Colors opaques and Freshlook Colorblends work best for dark eyes.
Also you should be careful, when selecting color. It should be a color that would look right with your skin and hair. See color contact lens chart with suggestions and photos.
