Far away they look okay, but up close they look extreemly fake.

Picture #1: My eyes with no contacts.
Picture #2: Acuvue 2 Opaques in Grey
Picture #3: On the left is FreshLook ColorBlends in Grey, on the right is Acuvue 2 Opaques.

In my opinion the Freshlook colorblends looks better on brown eyes.
I don't think they look "extremely fake" at all. My favorite is the one on the far right, which you describe as "Acuvue 2 Opaques" but you don't give the color. They're blue, though, and even close up they look good. They don't have the oversized pupil opening that I see in so many colored contact lenses.
I hope you find what you're looking for, and I hope Lens 101 has been helpful to you.
