Default Brown Enhancers for Dark eyes?

I have eyes that look black in just about any lighting situation (ie. in first picture), save from shining a flashlight into my eyes. I'm looking for brown contact lenses. I just want a color that makes a difference, but still looks natural. Like something like these in the 2nd picture. I know both pics are very small, and hard to tell. I'll upload better pictures tomorrow.

I would go buy the ones in the second picture, if they weren't a) illegal (I bought them in a local beauty supply shop before I talked with my doctor, and b) non-prescribed (I was literally blind taking that picture, so I'm going need some prescription).

I tried on the freshlook browns, and they looked unnatural on me. So any suggestions?

Thank you for posting those pictures and your story, cubix. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but I hope it helps people to understand how important it is to get their contact lenses from a doctor with a prescription.
Now, I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I looked at your picture and though that you'd probably look good with a lighter brown color like Chestnut from Acuvue 2 Colours - Opaque. Let us know what you think and please post pictures of whatever you decide to try.
