Ok so you want some new colored contacts, now what? Well first, make sure that you have a valid prescription. What? You say you don’t even need vision correction, you are just going to get some colored contacts to change the color, not actually make a difference in whether or not you can see or not? Too bad, it really doesn’t matter anymore. A few years back the FDA changed the rules of the game and now you have to get a prescription if you are getting vision correcting contact lenses or not.
Once you get that all figured out, then it’s time to figure out what color you want exactly. One of my favorite colors to wear every day is definitely going to be blue contacts. It doesn’t have to make you stand out totally, but I think it’s important if you really want to figure out a good look for yourself, and not draw too much attention. It might be the same rule that goes for smelling nice, only the people up close and talking to you should notice it, I kinda like to think the same thing for every day use contacts.
If you are looking for something a little different then a good choice could be black colored contacts or even red colored contacts if you dare. These are going to be better suited for things like costume parties, or around Halloween. If you get a good quality pair you could actually get away with wearing them for more than 1 year, just make sure you take good care of them, use the proper contact solution and you should be all set to scare the little kids with your crazy colored eyes!
Are you stuck at making a crucial decision on what colored contacts you want to buy? You probably aren’t alone. One thing that comes with more choices, is tougher decisions on which one is right for you. Back when they only had a few colors to choose from, like green contact lenses, it was easy. But now that you can virtually find any color you can dream of, you might be torn at which one is right for you.
There are a few things I do when I’m in the market to buy some new colored contacts. One is, I take a picture of myself, prefreably as recent as possible, and using a image editing program I edit my eye color to make it appear that I have a different color eye. It’s not perfect but it allows me a little better look at what I might look like with that colored eye. It’s pretty cool to think that you can figure out what you might look like with a colored eye like that, at least I think it is.
Another thing you can do which is a little less work is to just Google some images of people with different colored eyes. It’s actually pretty simple and doesn’t require much work. You can find some people with pretty much any color, and if it’s a certain design you are looking for, some of the better colored contacts sites will have models showing exactly what it looks like when someone wears them. You can have the look you want, just spend a little time making sure it’s what you really want and not just on a whim.
If you’re the kind of person who likes a lot of attention, then you might have already tried some of the most common stuff. Dressing outlandish, dying your hair a crazy color, but have you tried wearing crazy contact lenses? By crazy I simply mean that they are going to turn your eyes colors that you don’t normally see a person wearing when you look around, or they aren’t going to be colors that you will find in nature. Crazy colors like red, yellow, black, white and also all sorts of designs and shapes that will make someone stop and pay attention.
One of the most popular times to wear crazy contact lenses is during Halloween, when contact lenses really peek and you will be very surprised by how many people are buying them in bulk and want them right away. Sometimes it’s because they saw a famous character in a movie with some weird contacts, or maybe they just have a favorite color and want to be able to adorn their eyes in those same styles.
Colored contact lenses are becoming more popular simply because people can use the internet to do their shopping, and can find great deals and have them delivered, usually at no charge, right to their home. Usually, especially in smaller towns, someone would be restricted to buying whatever costumes their local store carried, but with the internet allowing people to have whatever they want, now they can get their favorite contacts any time they want.
Choose your favorite crazy contact color for your eyes, and just make sure you do all the homework that you need to do, as far as the size, shape and quality that you want on your eyes. If you are new to colored contacts, or contacts in general, make sure you seek the information you need before you just start trying to wear them.
