Okay, so you look at the mirror and see yourself at your party best-your outfit is your latest buy from the trendy shop at the nearest mall, your make-up is decidedly glam, and your hair and shoes look great. Is there still something missing? Do you think your entire look could do with a tad more pizzazz? Maybe you should try colour contact lenses. With or without prescription (you can get non-prescription lenses if your eyes are perfectly clear), colour lenses can do a great deal in helping jazz up that entire ensemble, and depending on the colour or pattern you decide to get, can make or break your overall look.
How to Look Great in Contact Lenses
Anyone can look fabulous with colour contacts; the key is just choosing the right colour or pattern to go well with your outfit of choice. Now, in making the decision, the key is simply assessing your outfit and deciding on the overall look and feel you want to go with. However, before you even begin making this decision and evaluating yourself, you must first begin by asking yourself: What kind of event am I going to? Depending on your answer to this question, you may then decide if you want a subtle effect, or one that’s more striking and eye-catching.
If you are going to a formal get-together (think cocktail dresses and ties), you may want to stick to neutral shades of lenses. You can go with slate gray, dark brown or black. Or to add a touch of sparkle, you can even go with hazel. Now, another factor would be the kind of outfit you are wearing. The key is not to go so colour-coordinated, that is, going for gray contact lenses when you are already wearing a gray outfit to begin with. Choose a different colour that will compliment and touch up the shade of your outfit, so that you don’t look like you are drowning in that one particular colour.
However, if you are going to a disco or a party, then you can jazz up your look by going for patterned colour contact lenses. There are plenty of those available if you just look-from tiger patterns to moons and stars, these funky contact lenses are your key to standing out from the crowd and catching everyone’s eye and attention. These are great to wear, especially if you are going to a bar or a dark area where your eyes will really stand out.
Remember – Don’t Overwhelm
The key to choosing colour contact lenses is to get those that will not overwhelm your entire outfit. Your colour lenses should be the perfect complement to them, not the one that will wash away the entire outfit (you might as well just have chosen to wear your pajamas!). Assess your outfit carefully before making a choice as to which type of contact lenses to wear. Using the right shade or pattern of contact lenses can really liven up your entire ensemble-or make it look either too gaudy or bland. Therefore, choose carefully before deciding on a pair.
