Green Contact Lenses Are Just One Color That Can Brighten Your Eyes

Many contact wearers are considering green contact lenses for the hint of mystery they provide. Since the colored contact lens came to market in the 1980s, it has become one of the fastest growing segments of the contact lens industry. According to two separate studies, both current vision-corrected wearers and cosmetic wearers have a strong interest in colored contacts.

Choosing a color for your colored contacts is a personal preference. Many people choose green as their color for a number of reasons. According to a study commissioned by FreshLook, 29% thought green eyes were associated with sexiness, 25% thought they meant creativity, and 20% thought green eyes conveyed an air of deviousness.

Green contacts are a good choice if your natural color is brown. If your natural color is green, perhaps using a green enhancer contact will give you a deep, mysterious jade green, especially if you have dark black hair. Another type of green contacts is theatrical contacts that glow under ultra violet black light. They create an eerie, exotic look for parties and Halloween.

Your skin tone and makeup will have a great deal on how your green contacts show up. With a light skin tone, use a neutral or pale eye shadow in a contrasting green or blue. Medium complexions look best using taupe or brown eye shadows. Dark skin seems to glow with a powerful bronze shade.

Colored lenses come in a variety of colors other than just green. Aqua, turquoise, sapphire, brown, hazel, and honey are just a few of the choices you have. Also, colored contacts come in soft, disposable or rigid gas permeable. Ask your eye doctor today for a prescription for colored contacts.
