How to choose colored contact lenses
How do I decide what contact lens color is best suited to my skin tone, hair color and facial features?
For a more dramtaic change:
- For wearers with cool, blue-red undertones in hair, eyes and skin, a warm-toned contact lens is recommended, such as a light brown or custom. The darker your skin, the brighter contact lens color is recommended.>
- If you wear makeup, it's best to choose a colored contact lens that subtly contrasts eye shadow, mascara and whatever base tone you normally wear.
- If your natural eye color is brown, you might choose contact lenses in violet, green or blue.
For a more subtle change:
- Ask a yourlens.com eye care professional about ‘enhancer lenses' designed to define the edges of your iris and deepen your natural color without changing it.
- If your natural eye color is blue, you may want to consider contact lenses in gray or green.
- If your skin, hair, makeup and natural eye colors are warm-toned, consider a warm colored contact lens such as hazel to match and blend in.
