Guide to Color Contacts for Dark Eyes

What are the best colored contacts for dark eyes? This the most frequently asked question from colored contact newbies. That’s because dark eyes are the trickiest to change and still achieve the most natural, dramatic look. Tricky, but not impossible. It really depends on the product, your natural eye color and skin tone.

Blue Color Contacts for Dark Eyes

Paris Hilton does this one the best. Her natural brown eyes are now famously blue. Your best bet to get her look is to try light blue contacts such as Natural Touch Opaques, in baby blue.

While most major contact lens manufacturers make opaque lenses that completely mask the natural eye color, remember, what looks great on a friend may look completely different on you, so be prepared to try a few brands and colors before you find the perfect look.

These recommendations gleaned from user experiences on the net as well as manufacturers’ claims. Note that the color charts provided by manufacturers often aren’t always accurate and should be considered as a guide only. Your best bet is to get a sample pair from your eye doctor to try first, so you know what you’re buying.

Please note: contact lenses, even if worn for cosmetic reasons, are medical devices that should be worn under the prescription, direction, and supervision of an eye care professional.
