Choosing the best shade of coloured contact lenses for your eyes depends on many aspects. For example, if you want to produce a subtle and natural effect, you will need to consider your hair and skin tone, but if you want to make a provocative and dramatic statement, you have free rein and do not necessarily need to take these factors into account.

Lighter eyes

If you feel your eye colour isn't bold enough, opting for enhancement tinted lenses in your natural colour is a subtle way of deepening the colour around the edges of the iris, helping your eyes stand out. FreshLook Colorblends or SofLens Natural Colors are are a great way to add a subtle overtone to your existing eye colour.

However, you can still experiment while playing safe, with different coloured lenses that match your skin tone. If your eye colour is naturally a light blue, try green or grey opaque lenses to give your eyes a subtle new effect.

But if you'd rather go for a striking new look, opt for opaque lenses in shades that are not naturally suited to your complexion, such as brown shades for pale skin and blonde hair.

Darker eyes

If you have dark eyes, using enhancement lenses will only make them stronger, so to soften their effect try lighter shades of brown or a greenish-brown shade such as hazel in opaque tinted lenses.

However, you can also experiment with vibrant colours (FreshLook Colors are ideal for this), such as violet or amethyst, blue and green. For those with an olive or dark skin tone, a lighter eye colour can have a striking effect for a cool and sparkling look that will help you stand out.
