Hi!! Has anyone with brown eyes tried gray contact lenses (Freshlook Colourblends) ???

I had yesterday in my optician but they don't look exactly grey! They are brown - grayish! You have any photos????
Thanks!

Hi, I love my freshlook 1-day grey contacts. I have very dark brown eyes. They lighten my eyes some and you can see that I have a pupil, normally you cannot see mine, my eyes are so dark. No pics yet. But will share when i take some. They look real good though. I want something that will lighten my eyes even more...if you hear of any.

I have dark brown eyes and like wearing gray (Coopervision - Expressions) that are a beautiful color and look natural in some settings. THere are times people say I have really attractive eyes, but there are other times that people stare because they look so strange.

At night or in certain light, people have mentioned that they look very strange, like cats' eyes. I was told it's becaiuse contacts reflect the light rather than abosorb like a natural eye.

Is there a brand that does not turn to a strange solid color making me look like a zombie? , and also does not turn to a lighter color ?

Also, I've noticed that some colored contacts give a reddish hue looking really unnatural. I've caught myself staring because of the strange appearance, not the beauty.

freshlook grey has a circular band of brown and a circular band of ble grey. the grey is too bluish/light, and the brown to contrasting with the grey.

i use wj complements Shadow Grey. they are not disposable, but extended wear and i change them every 6 months. i used them for past 10 yrs so obv i like this color
