Blue Contact Lenses - What Works Best
Thinking of getting blue color contacts? From the hundreds of
blue lenses currently on the market, some can make your eyes
really stunning while others are a profound disappointment.
Discover how to find the blues that would work best for your
eyes.
Bright blue color lenses
Most people who try blue contacts want to have bright, vivid
color. However, you should bear in mind that real human eyes are
never too bright. So lenses that offer a stunning, vivid blue
might be a bit too bright to be mistaken for your true color.
Overbrightness is particularly noticeable outdoors, on a sunny
day. On the other hand, bright lenses can be excellent for an
evening party.
Freshlook Colorblends in True Sapphire is the way to go if you
want a really bright blue. Colorblends also has just "blue",
which is nice, but doesn't look anywhere near as bright. True
Sapphire is best suited for people with medium to dark hair and
complexions. If you are a fair blond or redhead, you would be
better of with a lighter blue.

Best blue color contacts for light eyes
When it comes to color contact lenses people with light eyes are
lucky - they can wear opaque lenses as well as partially
transparent enhancers.
If your eyes are already blue or blue-gray and you want to make
the color brighter - blue enhancement color lenses are your best
option. You can get a very good result from Acuvue 2 Color
Enhancers in Ocean blue (bright blue) or Aqua (blue-green,
natural looking effect). Durasoft 2 Colors for light eyes in Sky
Blue is also a good option - it is not as bright as Acuvue, but
it creates a very natural soft effect.
If your eyes and skin are very light, enhancement color lenses
might not only make your color brighter, but also make your eyes
appear darker. If this is not what you want, choose opaque light
blue lenses. Illusions by Ciba Vision in Soft Blue work very
well as light blue contacts.
Favorite blue lenses for dark eyes
If you have dark eyes, you have to use opaque color contacts.
Enhancement lenses will not make any difference the appearance
of your eyes. Freshlook Colorblends in True Sapphire mentioned
above are great if you want really bright blue eyes.
For a more subtle look, try Durasoft 2 Opaque Colors - it
creates a light blue color with a slight tint of violet.
Durasoft 2 Colorblends is another option - on blue eyes they
produce a very deep color. Durasoft 2 Colorblends is most
suitable for people whose eyes are naturally very dark. Illusion
in Deep Blue also works well on dark eyes.
Which blue contact lenses are healthy and most
comfortable?
All lenses mentioned above are comfortable, natural looking blue
contacts. One thing you should know, though, is that these
contacts have different replacement schedules. Acuvue 2 Colors
are 2-week disposable color lenses, Freshlook Colorblends are
monthly disposables, and all Durasoft and Illusions color
contacts are for a year.
>From the health point of view, disposable lenses are better -
especially if you plan to wear your color contacts every day. If
you want to wear color lenses only as an occasional treat,
however, then a pair of Durasoft 2 Colors or Illusions would
serve your purposes best.
