Colored Contact for Dark Eyes

If you have dark eyes, but you've always dreamed of green, blue, turquoise, or even lavender eyes, you'll be happy to know that there are colored contacts for dark eyes. They're designed to mask the depth of dark eye color and give the appearance of lighter eyes. Whether you want something drastically different or just a shade or two lighter than your real eye color, there's something for you.

Colored contacts for dark eyes are designed with more pigmentation present on the lenses. That's because with a dark background, most colored contacts wouldn't show up dramatically at all. Many of the colored contacts designed for dark eyes use more than one color in a pixilated pattern that gives a more natural appearance. If you look at your own irises, you'll notice that several different flecks of color are present there, too. So buying a pair of blue contacts may give you blue with golden or green flecks, or gray accents, rather than just a simple, flat blue lens.

Keep in mind that even though you can get contact lenses with no vision correcting prescription (great for those with 20/20 vision who just want a new look), you'll still need to visit your eye doctor and get an actual prescription for the lenses. That is so you will get a lens that fits your eye well and so that you will learn how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses. In some instances, you can even get a free trial pair while you're in the office in order to determine if contact lenses are right for you, or if you like the way you look with a certain color of lens.

Major contact lens manufacturers often have printable contact lens coupons on their websites that entitle you to a pair of free trials when you visit your doctor's office. Once you determine that lenses are for you and you have your prescription in hand, you can shop online for the best deal:

• Color Me Contacts has colored contacts designed for dark eyes in hazel, green, gray, and blue.
• Colored Contacts allows you to choose the amount of drama you add to your look with contact lenses. There are also free offers to take advantage of there.
• Color My Eyes: Here, you can find a vast selection of contact lens brands.

If you have light eyes and put on a pair of colored contacts made for dark eyes, you may be disappointed to find that they look exceptionally fake. That's because on dark eyes, the color melds well with the pigment to create a more realistic look; with light eyes, the pixilation will be apparent against the light background. For light eyes, not as much color is necessary for the lenses to "pop" and give you a new look. There are contact lenses designed to slightly shift or change completely the appearance of light eyes, so light-eyed individuals are not out of luck.

If you've been dying to see how you'd look with a different eye color, you're not limited by your Photoshop skills. There are colored contacts for dark eyes that can take the appearance of your irises from dark brown to honey, gray, green, or even bright blue. How realistic they look will depend on the fit of the lenses and the design of the lenses, so don't be afraid to ask for a free trial when you're talking with your optometrist about your contact lens prescription. You may even be able to try more than one color before committing to a whole box (or two, if your prescriptions are different for each eye).
