I have dark skin and black-ish eyes and I really want brown eyes. Does anyone have any pics of their brown contacts?

Hi Haifa-fan,

I have a medium complexion with dark brown eyes (see pic below), I've owned a pair of FL Colorblends in Brown. Personally I did not like them very much, I felt thet looked too fake (see pic below).
May I recommend B&L in India, it's a brown contact lenses. The great thing is that it gives your eyes that change without looking totally fake.
I also recommend Acuvue; I've been doing some research & they seem okay.

It's always advisable to try them on first.

So those pictures are your natural color, Agent Q?

Haifa-fan, if you want to know were to find the B & L contact lenses that Agent Q recommended, B&L stands for "Bausch and Lomb," which is a contact lens manufacturer. They make about 20 different kinds of contacts. I don't see any Bausch & Lomb contact lenses on Lens 101 that are color contacts. See for yourself: http://www.lens.com/contact-lenses/department85.asp

I went to the Bausch and Lomb website and found this Q and A page that said:

"Do you sell colored/tinted contact lenses?

No, Bausch & Lomb does not manufacture colored or tinted contact lenses that enhance or change the natural color of the eye in the United States. Most of our contact lenses have a visibility tint to help when handling the lens, but this visibility tint does not enhance or change the natural color of the eye."

So I don't know what contact lenses Agent Q is recommending. Perhaps he or she can help with a brand name like "Acuvue 2 Colors - Opaque" or something.

So that's your natural eye color we see at the top of this thread?

I'd still like to know which lenses are in each picture. They're a little blurred so it's hard to tell what kind of lenses they are.

Maybe we'll never know the brand and color of those lenses. I'm hoping that since this is the section of Lens 101 for Acuvue 2 Colors - Opaque lenses that that's what kind they are.
