Brightest Coloured Contact Lenses - A Little Advice Goes A Long Way

There is an old saying that "Less is more," and it is perhaps most apt when it comes to choosing the right colour of contact lens. Given the sheer diaspora of choice in the cosmetic contact market right now, it can be difficult for anyone, novice and seasoned contact user alike, to choose the right colour lens. While opting for the brightest coloured contact lenses you can find may at first seem like a great way to distinguish yourself with a vibrant new look, it's not always the most prudent choice.

The most obvious reason being that not every colour lens suits every person. Depending on such factors as the natural colour of your eyes, your skin colour and tone, and even your hair, certain cosmetic contacts may be more appropriate than others. For fair-skinned wearers, a lighter color that simply enhances the innate beauty of your own may produce far better results than an entirely new, perhaps unsuitable colour. As a general rule of thumb, colours such as light blues and greens will offer the best results for people with lighter features.

On the other hand, and though it may seem a little unfair, in this respect, tanned or darker toned people certainly have a much wider choice. Whether choosing lenses that offer subtle tone adjustments or going with an entirely new color, dark-haired wearers have a broad selection of cosmetic lenses from which to choose. Although lighter colours can prove underwhelming, rich blues, browns and everything inbetween (from gray to amethyst) all offer a refreshing new look.

Remember, The Word Is Discretion

Of course, these are broad generalizations and with a tiny bit of experimentation it is possible to find a unique colour that is just for you. Just keep in mind that there's a fine line between stunning and shocking; you want to be noticed for dazzling natural eyes, not because they make you look like a Halloween party-reject.
