Freshlook caribbean aqua over natural blue eyes

I don't really like this color at all. Too phony looking, but on some people it may look good. Good thing it was a free sample. The top is the aqua, and the bottom is my natural color.

Wow. Most people do a side-by-side comparison of contact lenses versus natural color. You have an interesting technique, Ziggy. You're right too, about the Aqua contacts. That do look kind of painted on. Do you have any other contacts you like better?

Here is a collage of colors I tried so far. Top is aqua, next is natural color, then blue, then green, then brown. I LOVE the cb blue, cb green and cb brown. Next to try is honey and pure hazel. I know pure hazel will look like almost nothing on my eyes, but I want to get one that is almost like nothing anyway, lol. I will do a new collage when I get all of the colors. I'm not sure if I should try amythest though. Violet did nothing on me but change my eyes to a scary light blue.

That collage is a little freaky. I think I prefer to see your eyes in the context of your lovely face, ziggy. Wouldn't it be easier to just post multiple pictures of your face instead of doing all that editing?

If you want to know which ones I liked best, my vote is for the brown lenses.

well...I'm kind of shy about posting my whole face, but maybe I will get the nerve to do it soon. I had an online stalker once, and I guess it kind of scared me. Also, I forgot to say that on the brown eyes, I am wearing makeup, and I took the other colors/pictures without makeup. Later on, after taking the blue/green pics, I put makeup on the eyes, and the effects of those colors was much nicer. I will try to post more pics with makeup on when I get a chance. I have severe dry eye, and after intensive treatment, and a promise to my optometrist that I will not sleep in lenses anymore, he is allowing me to wear them again, provided I do the eye treatments in the morning and night without the lenses in. He also advised me not to wear makeup unless I am going out in public, lol. When I get the money, I plan to look for hypoallergenic makeup for the eyes. Sorry if I went off topic, but that may be one of the reasons why the brown look nicer, but I DO personally prefer the brown above the rest, only because it matches my skin tone and hair color better. The blue/green enhancers only make me look scary, so I don't like it when the advertisements always seem to lean towards light eyed people only wearing enhancers rather than opaques. I have written to the freshlook company to tell them that maybe some light eyed people PREFER to darken their eyes. No response yet, lol!

I'm sorry to hear about your "stalker." That must have been pretty scary. If it helps, the Administrator is pretty good about filtering out inappropriate postings, but he or she is also fairly liberal. You will find plenty of posts where people criticize the products, and even some heated discussions, but personal attacks are not tolerated.

Anyway, you do whatever is comfortable for you. Welcome to Lens 101.

I agree with the Herb King. We'd like to see your eyes along with your lovely face Ziggy, but if you're not comfortable with that, I think we understand. Don't we Lens 101 Nation?
