These lenses are tri-tone and as you'd expect, they have 3 parts: a dark outer ring, the main color (in this case, a turquoise-blue) and an inner star burst or blending ring (an olive-yellow). The outer ring on the shimmer series are dark and defined but not thick (which is good on such a small lens). The blue is more of a turquoise and it's fairly opaque. the yellow ring seems more sheer and it's not very thick.strangely, from a distance these seem blue-grey in certain light.
Enlargement: 2/10
The darkness of the limbal ring is a bit more intense than mine so that makes my eyes seem a tiny bit bigger but these are small lenses.
Comfort:7/10
They're small (normal-sized) lenses so i hold them to a higher standard in terms of comfort. It takes a bit of eye-rolling to get these in to a comfortable position sometimes but generally they're fine. They're comfortable enough for a full day.
Naturalness: 9/10
In full bright sunlight you can see them at certain angles. My friends also know I don't have blue eyes so they notice them. I also feel like such a drastic color change from bright blue to olive brown doesn't exist in nature so they're kinda fake looking even thought they blend REALLY well. If I get these in green I think they'd be a 10 out 10 for me.
I'm really happy I have found your blog. I have the same natural eye colors as you have right now. It's often hard to know what the lens looks like on hazel eyes because most reviews are done by Asian who have very dark eyes. So thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's exactly why I created this blog. I find that light eyes look different in contacts. Lenses that look great on dark eyes often look horrible on light eyes! I have a lot more lenses to review, I hope you'll come back to my blog :)
ReplyDeletedo you know or any circle lenses that look like your natural eye color?
ReplyDeleteThe breeze hazel lenses I reviewed look a lot like my own eyes but they're sheer and not very comfortable for me.
ReplyDeleteThe beaucon shimmer in green actually looks kind of like my natural eyes when worn over medium-dark brown eyes from what I've seen. They have a yellow-ish ring in the center an they're very sheer so they look pretty natural.
Neo Vision princess in camel brown or mint green look similar to my eyes too. EOS gothic 3 tones in hazel look like my eye color too.
In general, if you want a hazel brown color, avoid lenses in "choco" or chocolate brown, they'll be more red tones. Look for lenses that come in "honey". beware of stock photos, they're usually lighter than the real lenses!
