How do you feel about colored contacts?

[blazeno.8]

Yeah, I have colored contacts and I enjoy wearing them (light brown and green). For me I tend to lean more towards my clear contacts though because of focus related issues. I really wanted to get some purple contacts though!
I've had someone give me guff about wearing them saying that I was trying to be white. That person also said that my highlights at the time (which had started out light brown but became blonde from working outside in the summer) were also an attempt to be white. In the particular case of that person, I just ignored her because she wanted to ascribe some artificial value to my decisions without actually listening to what I had to say about it.
Moral of the story, if you have fun with it, go for it. There will always be nay sayers, and probably ones who don't know what they're talking about.

I remember sitting in the theater with my parents watching Meemoirs of a Geisha and my Dad said "If she can wear blue eyes,you can too."......I like that "surprising eyes".

I went into this at length in another post but to summarize: leave the color contacts alone. I'm not a fan. I say embrace your natural eye color.

I look at them like I do eyeshadow, false lashes, extensions, foundation, or a push up bra.
They're fun, don't try to convince the world they're real, and don't use them as an identifier of self.

i dont have a problem with them or people wearing them. I wouldnt wear them though.. im happy with my eye colour. if you wanna wear them then go for it

they look kinda nice and can really make your eyes stand out more. but i dont see any point in wearing them 24/7 like paris hilton .. seriously!

but thats like dying your hair or getting surgery ... i stil dnt think changing ur eye colour is necessary. but like i said.. paris hilton [i do love her] but i dont see why she needs to look like something completely different? yes she dyes her hair but thats quite common nowadays but changing eye colour? thats seriously f*cked up! next she will be changing her skin colour... maybe green? ohh now that would be a trend

I used to wear violet contacts when I was a teenager. I thought it looked awesome.

I worked with a woman who was very dark skinned and I have no idea what shade these contacts were, but patients would tell me that she looked possessed. The older folks were actually scared of her - "The nurse with the evil eyes". I think she must have thought people were staring at her, because her eyes were pretty.

I didn't think it was flattering at all. In fact, it was extremely distracting.

I have seen some colored contacts that were a slight shade difference that actually did look great. Someone enhancing their medium brown eyes and making them darker or blue grey eyes a slight bit more grey. I don't care for "not ever found in nature" looks unless it is for something special - costume, a particular photo, or a movie.

I have never seen a natural normal healthy eye that I didn't think was beautiful. Personally, I really like it when people enhance their eyes with the right makeup techniques for their unique beauty.

This is so funny to me. I've seen black children before with green and even blue eyes and gold, blond and red hair. This is going to be more and more common with the growth of biracial relationships and children, so will it be "not so natural" then?

 

[SparklingWaves]

I have never seen children or adults with electric color eyes like the ones that the previous poster posted . The same color as those contacts with the dollar signs, the smileys, or the cat eyes. If that is in the human gene pool, I would want to see it.

No dollar signs or smileys, but they're blue.

Those are blue eyes. Where does blue eyes not exist in the human gene pool.

Are you playing with me?

I don't have a problem with colored contacts so long as they look right on the person and said person is not trying to pass them off as their natural eye color. I've tried grey lenses before but they looked a hot mess on me....I do want to try some in a lighter brown.....just a little something to brighten my natural brown color a little like the enhancers or the color blends.
