If you are planning to get yourself some new contacts, then you should know that there is one of the most important things that everyone should consider before getting them. Of course, we’re talking about color! While it’s true that today this fact is no longer unique and doesn’t seem so important once you have decided on a color, it will still be necessary to keep in mind several factors before choosing the perfect one for your eyes or your costume. This article will present all of them to you. So let’s get started!
What Contact Lens Color Are Available For My Eyes?
While many people think there are only three colors available on the market-blue, green and brown- in reality, there are almost twenty different ones: blue, green, gray, brown, light blue, pink, purple, black, dark gray, and hazel. However, it’s important to be aware that colors are actually divided into two categories- opaque or solid color contact lenses and “hollow” ones, which highlight the original eye color through an effect called chromatic aberration.
What Do I Need To Know About Hollow Contact Lenses?
Hollow contacts are perfect for those who want their eyes to look more striking without hiding them completely behind a solid color lens. These lenses create that special “hollow” effect through tiny particles which tend to reflect light around the pupil creating that particular darker tone on the edge of your iris, which you can appreciate in photos if you choose lighter tones like grey, blue or green.
Unfortunately, if you want to add some color accents such as dark red, light yellow, or other light shades to your outfit, this will be difficult because these lenses tend to blend with your iris, and the result is not fully satisfactory.
What About Solid Color?
Solid contact lens colors are perfect for adding an extra flair and glamour to your eyes and creating the final touch that’s needed for a perfect costume or occasion! Each solid color provides a certain shade that can highlight your eye color in the best way possible. Luckily blue is very common, but there are also amazing shades like brown, grey, and even pink! These colors tend to compliment every skin tone perfectly, so it’s up to you which one do you choose.
Finally, don’t forget that there’s no such thing as wearing a color which doesn’t look good on you. So if you feel like pink enhances your eyes and makes them shine, then go for it! It’s all about how you wear and use it!
