waicon or baush & lomb: going for a megan fox and adriania lima look

akilinc · #1 (**permalink**) 01-13-2011, 07:22 PM

Hi guys! I am new to this forum. I have been researching about contact lenses for a while now though and I am finally going to try some color ones out. I really want a megan fox or adriana lima look...so light blue. I have medium brown eyes. The colors I felt that looked (on youtube) the most similar were:

Waicon blue
Waicon blue gray
Baush & Lomb pacific blue
Baush & Lomb platinum
Baush & Lomb pacific blue

There is also a more expensive brand (FX lenses) but if I could get a similar color in these for cheaper monthly ones I would prefer to do so...but if I felt FX were the only ones that would look natural and like the color I want, I would consider purchasing them..

the colors in fx I felt that were most similar are:
icy blue
betty blue
light blue gray (perhaps the most identical)

Now...out of these colors...which do you guys feel would be the most matching to the color I am trying to achieve??

Thank you

Aw man. Look what you made me do. You forced me to look at pictures of Megan Fox.

Welcome to Lens 101, akilinc. I think you'll like it here.

I think that Pacific Blue is a pretty good match:

Please keep us posted on your progress. I'd like to see the lenses you eventually choose.

Oh, you poor thing.

Akilinc doesn't look so bad either.

Unfortunately can't post photos yet, but... I can tell you that B&L Platinum looked great over medium/dark green eyes, and quite natural-freshlook sterling grey, could barely see a difference in color, and so uncomfortable (for me) my BC is too steep for all of the 'median' one size fits all colored contacts...

So you're saying they look nice, but they don't feel so great in your eyes. Is that correct?

From my experience, I personally think that Waicons look more natural. I'd go for Waicon Trikolor blue-grey

Unfortunately Lens.com does not sell Waicon lenses. Is there a lens that is sold by the sponsor that you would recommend?

Which Bausch and Lomb lenses do you mean? FreshLook Dimensions? That's what came up when I searched Lens.com for "Pacific Blue."

Oh sorry. I haven't tried any colored contacts from lens.com due to needing torics and the color/brand selection being limited.

Adriana Lima eyes would be like Platinum though.

Your comment made me curious and so I went to Lens.com and looked up "color toric." I got a whole page of results, but most of them were just toric lenses with no color.
I tried typing in "color AND toric" but got the same results as before. I think that search function needs to be tweaked.

I didn't want to check all of the brands that came up to see if they came in colors because there were too many of them. However, a few of them had "color" right in the name, such as Durasoft 2 Optifit Toric - Colors and FreshLook ColorBlends Toric. If you clicked on one of the other brands, you may find that they are available in colors, but I didn't see any like that in the four or five I checked at random.

You say that the selection is limited, but when you come right down to it, you only need one brand, right? Have you already tried Durasoft and FreshLook ColorBlends Toric?

Freshlook Colorblens Toric don't offer my base curve so they're out of the question and I don't like the look of Durasoft.

Well, I guess that settles that then.

Yup! lol

My suggesting Waicon is only based on my experience and the options she had posted.

if u want my advice FX eyes contact lenses r z best and look very bright and natural. go for Betty blue, it's amazing . blue grey is nice as well. icy blue gives some zombie looks .
For other brands, they look artificial and dark.
there is another brand called 9mmsfx and the is vampire blue . it doesnt give a zombie or vampire looks. it looks really blue and there r some reviews on youtube watch them for more info. hope that helps u 2 achieve ur new look
