How to Pick Colored Contacts for Your Eye Shape
Eye shape affects how colored contacts look more than most people realize. A lens that looks bold and enlarging on round eyes can look subtle on almond-shaped eyes. Here is how to pick based on what you are working with.
Round Eyes: Go Subtle
Round eyes already have a wide, open appearance. Circle lenses that enlarge further can tip into unnatural territory fast. Stick with standard colored lenses that change color without adding enlargement. Earl Series brown and Berry Series grey enhance your eye color without exaggerating the roundness.
Almond Eyes: Everything Works
Almond-shaped eyes are the most versatile. The natural elongation balances the enlargement effect of circle lenses. You can wear almost any color and diameter comfortably. Nova Blue and INYX Purple both look striking on almond eyes.
Hooded or Deep-Set Eyes: Prioritize Visibility
If your upper eyelid covers part of your iris, the top of the lens may be less visible. Choose colors lighter than your natural eye to create contrast. A brighter iris is more noticeable under a hooded lid. Illusory Green and Olive Hazel both pop even when partially covered.
Find the right fit for your eye shape.
