Shake Your Shamrocks this Month
and Go Green!

In the Merry Month of March, try on a pair of green contacts

Tis the season for green. St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th, has long been held as the time when we celebrate all things Irish.

Just for fun, we thought this would be a great month to celebrate the color green, as in green colored contacts.

For dark eyes (brown, black, and hazel), opaque lenses like Acuvue 2 Colors, Freshlook Colorblends, and Natural Touch will conceal your natural eye color. For light eyes, Acuvue 2 Enhancers and Freshlook Dimensions will bring out the green tones in your natural color.

If you just want to experiment with green, choose disposable lenses that last two to four weeks. Acuvue and Freshlook are the two most popular brands of disposable contacts. If you want to commit to green, then buy long wearing vial colored contacts like Natural Touch, Illusions or Clearly Colors and wear them daily up to a year.

We looked at the green family and decided that there are a couple of ways to go. Cool green has hints of blue or aqua, jade green is a warmer shade with yellow undertones, and moss green has the earthy undertones that blend best with browns.

Note: as with all color contacts, finding the perfect green starts with your own eye color. What may look great on one person, may look completely different on you!

Cool Green

If you have light eyes, cool green is easier to achieve. Enhancer lenses like Freshlook Dimensions and Acuvue Enhancers intensify your natural eye color.
