hi ! might i suggest you go visit first an ophtalmologist ? i don't know if it's the same here but usually to get a pair of contact lenses you need a prescription.

you also have to be careful because if your eyes are naturally "dry", you won't be able to wear those contacts or have to carry drops and put some frequently in your eyes.

that said, back to your question, there's already some threads about it, but i think you could use blue, green, gold, bronze, purple e/s.

freshlook are by far the most natural looking contact lenses. I wear the plain brand daily, but I have tried the green in the past, they look good!

their website shows you all the different colours, but basically, light coloured eyes like blue or green will look more natural with contact lenses and also won't show through the contact lense colour, whereas with some cheaper brands of contacts, brown eyes or darker eye colours show through a bit.

This doesn't happen with the freshlook ones. They're really good quality, but they are a little bit more expensive

good luck!

These are the green contact lenses

and my natural eye colour

you look cute !

 

[pinksugar]

thanks. I didn't realise the photos were so big, LOL

magosienne is right, get a script first, then go nuts! i have been through many pairs, but i have fair skin and dark hair so the contrast suits me... the most natural ones i have discovered are Freshlook - Radiance - Eden (an olive-y green)

wow!i seriously like your blue eyes

I, too once had 2 pairs of fresh look disposable contact lenses a pair of blue and hazel ones. But, I stopped using them since one of the contact lense went underneath where we normally put the eyeshadows on.

 

[Aprill]

I am going to make an appointment myself=) Does Freshlook make colored contacts for astigmatism?

 

[rizzie_x3]

i used to wear freshlook colorblends in gray and it looks really natural on my medium brown eyes. you should visit the ophtalmologist to have your base curve and prescription measured. also he/she will let you to sample the color contacts for free and you can get to keep them if you want to.

Pinksugar: wow so you slept with your contacts on? i did it once because i forgot to take them off cos i was so sleepy and i woke up with conjunctivitis. yike!

I have astigmatism and special color contacts were not offered to me in freshlook.

I want to note that my contacts always looked real (even the violet ones) in photos but in real life I had to wear special colors of eyeshadow. In bad lighting, gullible people would be like "wow look at her eyes weird!" but most people could tell because my eyes have a steep cornea and the contacts would slide around when I blinked. Also I looked high all the time. I notice they tend to look good in bright light (like camera flash or sunlight) because large irises are attractive by some weird animal rule.. anyway

I use this chart when I wear mine

I had violet, green and gray

I used to wear Colorblend contacts in Gray and they looked good. Now that I think about it, maybe I should start wearing them again.

[tajameka]

i have freshlooks! i have the freshlook COLORS. there's two types of freshlooks. there's the COLORS and the COLORBLENDS. i have never tried the COLORBLENDS. i have seen it on other people and they usually look good. please make sure you get the trial pairs before odering. not all the colors look very natural. i love freshlooks colors GREEN but hate freshlook colors Misty Grey. they don't suit me. AlSO..the're so MANY contacts out there that are MUCHMUCH better than freshlooks.

Europa

Baush&Lomb

Marietta

Waicon
