Freshlook ColorBlends

Freshlook Colorblends color contacts Freshlook Colorblends are probably the most succesful color contacts from Ciba Vision. Colorblends are available in a wide range of colors including the oustanding True Sapphire and Pure Hazel which you can see on the left. Freshlook colorblends are opaque color contacts and are therefore recommended for people with dark eyes. Meanwhile they are also suitable for people with astigmatism.

The real advantage with these color contacts is that they offer you a proper natural look by using a technology which consists in combining three colors that enhance the natural effect on your eye but also creates a subtle depth of your eyes. These contact lenses are soft disposable ones and are monthly but you should replace them after 2 weeks.

Freshlook Colorblends Review

Freshlook Colorblends HoneyIf you are searching for color contacts which will give you the most natural eye color, then Freshlook Colorblends are definitely what you need. Freshlook Colorblends uses Freshlook's advanced color technology which blends 3 colors on a single lens giving an excellent natural color effect. In order to give the most realistic look possible, every color contact of this range has hazel around the pupil and a charcoal outerline.

So the good part with these lenses is that the look they give is really top. They have a wide range of colors available, blue, green, honey, gray, hazel, turquoise, brown and many others including the new True Sapphire which gives a really nice effect.

So overall, from my own experience and what i have read, these color contacts are really top as they are synonym of quality, comfort and top natural color effect. Nevertheless some people have complained that when using them for long periods, your eye becomes quickly dry which is annoying. In that case simply rewet them and it will be fine. In my opinion they are probably the best available if you want to have a natural color effect!

Dark Brown Color Contacts

Acuvue Define Dark BrownYou have light colored eyes such as green or blue and what to purchase colored contacts which will give you dark brown eyes? Well what you must know, is that the amount of color contacts which give you dark brown eyes is unfortunately rather small. Nevertheless we will tell you which ones are available and are the best.

The best available in order to have dark brown eyes are Acuvue Define but thesere are unfortunately exclusive to asian countries. Nevertheless if you search on the net, it should be possible to find them in shops which import them, or directly from asian shops if they offer worldwide delivery. As you can see on the picture on the left they give a very dark brown (close to black) look to your eyes.

Freshlook ColorBlends BrownIf you are unable to find these, then i would recommend buying Freshlook Colorblends in brown. You might say these are not really dark brown, but they are the closest you will get too, and from what i have heard the result is rather good especially for people with green eyes. You can see a picture of them on the left. Hope this will help you.

Acuvue Color Contacts

You probably have already heard of Acuvue, and if you have not, well this article will give you an idea of who they are. Acuvue is one of the leading color contacts brands in the world, if not the leader (rhey are in competition with Freshlook). Being one of the biggest brands in the world, Acuvue has a wide range of products which are suitable for most vision problems.

Acuvue has a wide range of products. They have their leading Acuvue 2 Colours range (also called acuvue 2 colors). These color contacts are extremely thin and comfortable as they are made of water. They have colors for dark eyes or color contact lenses for light eyes. This can be found on their website. You can see on the left a sample of these. I quite like the Sapphire blue and the Jade green...but then all depends on your hair color, skin tan and how you dress. So its up to you!

If you have astigmatism, then you should use their Acuvue Advance range which are in fact toric contact lenses. With these contact lenses, Acuvue uses the latest technologies so that they are the most comfortable possible, and so that they do no pop or fall out of your eye!

All in all, Acuvue is simply a great brand of very high quality offering a large range of products for everyone! A most have!

Want a Free Colored Contacts Trial Pair ?

One question many of you are probably asking yourselves is where you can find a colored contacts trial pair. In fact it is rather easy to have a trial pair, but you will always need to go and see an eye specialist. So where can you get them?

The first solution, if you are lazy, is to gon online on the website of one of the two most well known color contact brands: freshlook and acuvue. On their website if you look around, you will find a "try for free" link. You should click on it, and enter the information required (email, questionnaire, color contact model). Once this is done they will send you (by email most of the time), a certificate for a free trial pair of color contacts, that you should take to your eye care specialist who will then give them to you! Rather simple no?

Another solution to get a colored contacts trial pair is to go directly to your eye doctor's office and ask him for a free trial pair. He will then measure your eyes, in order to give one which is suited to your vision problem and eye size. This is a commercial event, where the doctor as you are his patient gives you some color contact lenses for free in order to try them, and come back and see him!
