Six Tips from Anesthesia.

Colored contact lenses can make your makeup stand out and add a powerful element to your look. With the right choice, colored contacts can create a more expressive and memorable appearance. To enhance your makeup with lenses, Anesthesia offers some tips you may find helpful:

Tip #1 Choose a lens color that harmonizes with the color of your makeup.

Elevate your makeup game by considering the color of your contact lenses. Blue or gray-tinted lenses can complement makeup with cool undertones beautifully. On the other hand, if your makeup is leaning toward warm tones, brown or green-tinted lenses may be the better option for you. By matching your lenses to your makeup, you can create a cohesive and stunning look.

Tip #2 Alternatively, you can play on the contrast of the lens color and eye shadow to bring out your beautiful eyes.

For example, to bring out your blue or gray-eyed look, opt for warmer earth tones, like browns, bronze, and taupe, to make your blue or gray contact lenses pop. These colors will contrast your eye color, creating an alluring effect. Try shades of pink, rose, or coral for an even more vibrant look.

If you like smokey eyes, the same warm, earthy tones will work for a green-eyed look. They will let your green out and give a great definition to your eyes.

If you choose hazel or light brown colored contacts, literally, every eye shadow will work for you. Enhance a tint of gold in your eyes through dark or saturated shadows. Pinkish and purplish will also look bomb on you.

A brown and black-eyed look can use any shadow, but cooler tones like blues and greens will create a truly stunning contrast. The one thing to remember with brown contact lenses: be careful with the kind of brown shadows you use. Sometimes, if you choose a flat brown eye shadow, you might get a bit of a muddy eye. Use browns with contrasting undertones to your brown contact lens color, like reddish brown, orangy brown, gold brown, etc.

Tip #3 Experiment with the color intensity of the contact lenses. 

For example, if you want a more expressive and vibrant look, you can try using colored contact lenses with saturated colors. But you can opt for natural lens shades if you prefer a more natural look.

Contrast your chosen eye color with the intensity of your makeup. If your makeup looks bright and intense, then contact lenses with a less saturated color will help emphasize the makeup without overwhelming the look. If your makeup is delicate and light, more saturated lenses can be an excellent addition to the look. You can experiment with shades from the Once Collection and choose the one that best enhances your everyday makeup look.

Tip #4 Consider adding more definition to your eyes by refining your iris with a limbal ring if you don’t have one naturally. 

Wearing colored contact lenses can bring a whole new dimension and authenticity to your eyes. Opting for lenses with a distinct or subtle limbal ring can achieve a look that truly pops and complements your makeup. With these lenses, your eyes will appear more vivid and dynamic, providing a stunning visual effect.

Tip #5 Choose lenses that match your skin tone. 

If you have light skin, choosing light-colored lenses like blue, gray, or green is best. On the other hand, if you have a darker skin tone, go for darker-colored contact lenses such as chocolate, brown or saturated green.

The play on contrast is also possible if you want to bring out your skin tone. However, it’s important to approach this with care to avoid an unnatural or weird-looking appearance. Choosing a color that complements your skin tone can enhance your overall look, but selecting a color that outright clashes with your natural coloring can look jarring or fake.

Tip #6 Change the color of your eyes to emphasize other parts of your face. 

Changing the color of your eyes can affect the perception of other parts of your face. For example, if you want to emphasize your lips, you can choose contact lenses with a tint contrasting your lip color.

Let’s sum up. 

It’s important not to go too far when experimenting with colored contacts. Subtlety is key in enhancing your appearance with colored contact lenses, and a natural-looking effect is often more desirable than an overly dramatic one.

Overall, if you’re considering wearing colored contacts, it’s a good idea to choose a color that complements your skin tone and natural eye color and to approach the process with care and moderation to achieve a natural and flattering look.

It’s also important to consult an eye doctor to ensure the colored contact lenses you choose are safe and suitable for your eyes.

Finally, don’t forget to take care of your lenses by following their use and care instructions. Be sure to follow the directions for cleaning and storing lenses to ensure eye comfort and health.
