I have dark eyes, almost jet black, so consider my eye color, too. I said that because a friend of mine has beautiful brown eyes yet whenever she wears contact lens, she gets frustrated because none of them seems noticeable against her eyes.
So here are the color contacts that work best for people with dark eyes, like me.
I got the lenses from a website called LensCirlce.com. Get 10% OFF when you use my discount code REAL10! I won't receive any commissions from it, just pure discount for you! :)
I love colored contacts because they give me colored eyes without having to wish my mom had married a man with blue, green or brown eyes just so I could have beautiful eyes. lol. I have pretty clear vision (thank God!) so I just use contact lens for aesthetic purposes. Here are my favorite colors:
Here's my eyes without any contact lens on :
And here are the samples and short reviews:
This has got to be my favorite contact lens, ever. Whenever I have to pick a pair, I always pick this first. It's like my go-to contact lens. I just love how natural it looks and how it compliments my mocha skin. The black ring also makes eyes appear bigger, best for dolly look. Surprisingly, this is also one of the most comfortable lenses I've tried. I can go the whole day wearing this.
I know it's bad (please don't imitate me) but I went to a spa a couple of weeks ago. I forgot I had them on and since the massage was so relaxing, I slept with these on! I freaked out when I woke up! lol. Luckily, nothing bad happened to my eyes.
I've been wanting to try purple contact lens because I saw Xiaxue with purple contacts on and they just look gorgeous on her. However, I was disappointed with this pair. The color is only visible because the photo was taken in macro mode. But in real life, the color isn't really noticeable. If there's one thing good about it, it's the black ring that makes eyes appear bigger.
The color of the lenses is unique. I like how it fades from grey to a really pretty brown shade. The color is also a bit to the "vampire-ish" side, which is good if you want unique looking eyes. However, I noticed that this pair is not very comfortable, my eyes start to tear and feel dry after a couple of hours.
My first time to be bold enough to actually order blue contact lens! I really think blue eyes, black hair and Asian skin tone don't really go well together. But this pair is so pretty, it would have looked natural if only my skin was light and if I dyed my hair blonde. No ring, though, so it doesn't make eyes look bigger but since it's blue, your eyes would be really noticeable without having the need for black rings.
A must for cosplayers and make-up enthusiasts who want to go for a Dolly/Ullzzang/Gyaru look. I removed the lens on the left to give you an idea of how exaggeratedly bigger your eyes would look with the magic lens on. I noticed that this pair is too soft/jelly that's why it's a bit difficult to put on as it keeps on folding/sticking to your finger as you try to put it on. Surprisingly, it's comfortable. However, experts say huge contact lenses are not safe for the eyes, so please use magic lenses with care. :)
