Verocious Violet, the Color for Spring

Violet, amethyst, lavender, or just plain purple. Whatever you call it, violet eyes are catching on as a fun alternative to blue or green. Lenses in this shade can give you a striking or subtle change depending on the brand.

Here's a guide to what we think is the scoop on violet eyes.

Dramatic Violet

Once again, the Clearly Colors lineup has the most vibrant violet shade. Violet Venom, for light or dark eyes, makes a dramatic statement.

While some people claim these lenses give them a cartoon look, lots of wearers still buy them for clubbing, anime dress-up, or just fun costume play.
