Colored Contact Lenses for Light Eyes

Today i will be giving my opinion about which colored contacts are suited for light colored eyes. Please bear in mind that this is my own opinion, and that many factors need to be taken into consideration when choosing your color, such as you skin tan, hair color, and original eye color.

If you have light colored eyes, it is generally recommended to use either opaque or enhancer color contacts. Opaque colored contact lenses will simply change your eye color, where as enhancer ones will give a more unpredictable and special effect to your eyes (can either be good or bad, it really depends). So which brand and which model would i recommend?

The first model i would recommend is Freshlook Dimensions (see picture below) as they add considerable depth to your eye color but also make them look larger and nicer. Please note that these are monthly disposable color contacts.

If you are willing to give a more flashy and sparkly effect to your eyes then go and have a look at Acuvue 2 Enhancers or Freshlook Radiance color contacts which totally change your eye making it prettier thanks to a bright and sparkly effect.

Colored Contact Lenses

Today, thanks to technology, different types of colored contact lenses exist. The most frequent are visibility tints, opaque color contacts, enhancement tints, and light filtering tints. Colored contacts are available either in plano (which means without any vision correction) or with the right vision correction for your eyes (long/short sighted, astimagtism...).

Visibility tint contact lenses are to be used to simply slightly change your eye color. In fact it only gives a slight tint to it, so the change is rather light. These are often lenses with a light blue or green tint added to them.

The second type of colored contacts is enhancement ones. These are solid contact lenses (translucent) which give a stronger and darker tint than the visibility ones. The goal of these colored contacts is to enhance the color of your eye. If you have light colored eyes then these will be the ones you will surely want to purchase!

Opaque tint color contacts are used to completely change the color of your eye. They are made of solid color in order to change drastricly your eye color. These are often used by people with dark eyes, as it is more difficult to change their eye color.

You do not hear very often about light-filtering colored contacts, because these are mainly used by sports men. These contact lenses have been designed for sport, so that certain colors are filtered to optimize the players performance (yellow for the tennis ball for example).

Do now its up to you to see which ones are suited for you. I think with what i have written you should know what type of color contacts you need to buy!

How to choose the right color contact ?

Severial criterias need to be taken into consideration when chosing the right color for your contacts. For example you may want to chose a color which is adapted to your ethnicity or simply your natural eye color. Another element which could be taken into consideration is your skin color and the look you are going for.

Lets take an example. If you are Caucasian, gray, blue, brown or green will look natural on you. Actually for most people including non-caucasian, the best color is brown as it will suit in most cases with everyones look.

If you are looking into more flashy colors in order to change your look then bright colors such as yellow, violet or aqua seem appropriate. Nevertheless these colors tend to stick out more on people with darker skin tones.

When choosing the best color contacts, you should also make sure it goes well with your makeup and clothes. But all in all the best way to know which color suits you the best is to try them first.
