subject: Finding The Perfect Colour Contact For Your Complexion [print this page] Not all contact colours wear well on everyoneNot all contact colours wear well on everyone. Some colours simply 'fit' better with some complexions, skin tones and even the colour of one's hair. Other colours can wash you out making you appear ill or the colour simply does nothing for you at all. Some contact lens colours make you look false while others make you look like a clown. You do not want people walking around looking and then whispering about the way you look. Do you?
While a true blond and most Caucasians can get away with almost any colour contact, an African American female or male must be very careful when selecting a colour to compliment their skin tone, hair and complexion. We all have an underlying complexion colours that enhance our skin tone. For some the colour is very subtle while in others, it can be very bold and obvious.
Have you ever just looked at a person and said "that colour just makes you glow." Or has someone looked at you and said the same thing? Has there been a day when you were complimented every time someone walked past you? Or days when you were told that the colour you were wearing just did something for you? If you noticed, when you wore a particular colour you received the most compliments when wearing, it seemed to be a colour that brought out a radiance in your skin tone.
Getting a lot of compliments when wearing one colour means the colour brings out the best in you or your underlying skin tone. It highlights your underlying skin tone or it may just deepen that skin tone. Whatever the case, colours you receive compliments when wearing are the ones you should focus on when purchasing colour contacts. The tone of the colours or the colour that works well with your complexion are your best colours.
When selecting a colour contact, select one that appears real and not something that is comical or false. If the process is hard for you and you need help, ask a friend to go along with you.
Which Colours May Be Best
Light, Medium or Dark complexion individuals with Green eyes should consider wearing only light or medium browns, honey, sapphire, amethyst or moonlight colour contacts.
Light, Medium or Dark Complexion individuals with Brown eyes should consider wearing honey, hazel green, sapphire, jade green, sapphire blue, or amethyst colour contacts.
Light, Medium or Dark complexion individuals with Blue eyes should wear green, brown, honey, chestnut, amethyst or moonlight colour contacts.
Light, Medium or Dark complexion individuals with Hazel eyes should wear browns, green, chestnut, amethyst, green or blue colour contacts.
When selecting colour contacts, consider where and when you will be wearing them. If you are going to be wearing the contacts to the office or an important meeting, it's a good idea to make sure the colour is appropriate for the environment. An executive in a conservative office meeting working with fortune 500 clients would not want to be wearing amethyst contacts during the meeting. The impression you give is from the head to toe. Remember your eyes are one of the major focus points of any contact. Likewise, wearing a black business suit paired with purple colour contacts will diminish the effectiveness of your presentation. Don't give off mixed signals. Make sure your contacts signal professional, knowledge, awareness. On the opposite end if you're going out for the evening, signal the party person you are. Your contacts can liven up the party.
