Colored Contacts for Dark Eyes

By Christopher Chase

Color contacts are great fun, no matter what your original eye color happens to be! There was a time when colored contacts for dark eyes were not entirely successful, but this is no longer the case. However, there are still certain combinations that work better with darker, natural eyes and these options should be considered.

Colored Contacts for Dark Eyes – Getting Started

When choosing colored contacts for dark eyes, the first issue is to determine what sort of look you're hoping to achieve. Are you trying to go for a blond hair blue eye look or a darker overall look with dark hair and dark eyes?

One popular choice is to take natural dark eyes and use enhanced colored contact lenses that will add a flek of green or a slight mirrored look to dark eyes. Dark eyes are wonderfully magical to begin with, so adding a slight hint of extra color can be just as starling as a complete change.

Light colored contacts for dark eyes are perfectly feasible; modern colored contact lenses are sufficiently powerful to mask natural dark eyes even with a light blue or lilac.

Best Color Contacts for Dark Eyes

Although there are no limitations to choosing colored contacts for dark eyes there are always likely to be some colors that are better than others. Dark turquoise works well with natural dark eye colors as it adds a hint of lightness but retains the natural shades of the eye color.

Special effect colored contacts for dark eyes is another option. If you are going for a very dramatic look, why not completely blacken your eyes with theatrical black out eyes? White out and bright red work equally well!

Choices of colored contacts for dark eyes are becoming greater, by the day, and there are no longer any true color limitations. So go on – take your pick!
