How To Pick The Best Color for You This Summer!

Summer is here, and bright colors are all the rage! 

This summer, cosplay events and beach days alike are all about color. And at Coloured Contacts, we know better than anyone that the hue of your lens is hugely important to your look.

With Pride month almost over, and so many conventions, parties, and events coming up, there’s no better time than the present to experiment with bold, wild lenses. But how to choose?

Don’t worry- in this blog, we’ll go over everything you need to know about colored lenses, their properties, and their uses.

Get ready to get colorful!

With so many gorgeous lenses in every shade of the rainbow, our Coloured Contacts website has a page specifically for colored lenses.

On this page, you can pick the color you’re looking for and explore every lens we have in that pigment. But even with such a narrowed-down selection, there is still so much choice: from monthly lenses to single-use pairs, from natural hues to costume styles, and from non-corrective ranges to prescription options… 

How can you know for sure that the lens you’re picking is right for you?

Take a peek at this look by @martaitken.artistry: 

Here, @martaitken.artistry has created a gorgeous explosion of color with felt pom-poms. While the look itself contains so many different shades, the through-line of the piece is pink. We can see this in the large heart-shaped centrepiece on his chest, as well as the pink pom-poms running up to the face. This pairs perfectly with these Pink Enchanted Contact Lenses. Their bright pink hue helps tie the whole look together, giving it an ethereal, magical feel.

Or, here is another bold look by @maggiexmonteiro:

While the full-coverage leopard print makeup is incredibly striking, our favourite part of this piece is the bright red accents! The bright hair is a stunning shade of dark, burgundy red, and @maggiexmonteiro pairs this perfectly with a dark red lip and a pair of Red Mini Sclera Contact Lenses. With so many different features matching the same bold color, this makeup look is completely elevated. You can do this too, by matching your contact lenses to one key aspect of your appearance; maybe your hair, lipstick, or accessories.

Choose your Style

Once you’ve narrowed it down to a specific color, the next choice is style. At Coloured Contacts, we have two major styles: Natural Lenses or Costume Lenses.

Natural Lenses are made to mimic a natural eye color, blending seamlessly with your iris so that it seems your natural eye has changed. 

Our range of Natural Colored Lenses includes:

• Blue Natural Lenses- Perfect for those days of sun, sea, and sand, these natural blue lenses will have you looking surf-ready.

• Brown Natural Lenses- Looking for a dark coffee shade or a honey-hazel hue? These brown natural lenses are perfect for your brown-eyed summer!

• Grey Natural Lenses- With plenty of stormy shades, these natural grey lenses go with any outfit!

• Green Natural Lenses- The rarest eye color around, ideal for adding a little confidence boost to your daily routine.

Costume Lenses, on the other hand, are made to be distinctly unnatural! Perfect for cosplays and costume parties, the lenses in our costume selection feature fun, crazy patterns and bright, bold colors.

Our range of Costume Colored Lenses includes:

• Character Inspired Lenses- Want to transform into a clown, or the Hulk, or Voldemort? These lenses are specifically designed with characters in mind.

• Mini Sclera Lenses- These gorgeous colored lenses feature a wider diameter, covering more of your eye for that perfect cosplay look!

• UV Reactive Lenses- If you’re looking for something completely unique, pick one of these lenses for a colorful style that glows under UV light!

• Blind Lenses- And for those extreme, spooky costume looks, why not choose one of our Blind Costume Lenses? Just remember that these lenses WILL impair your vision.

What Else?

Now that you’ve found your perfect color and your ideal styles, there are a few last things to consider.

Duration- A lot of the lenses on our site have options in different durations, so make sure you’re picking the right one for your intended purpose. If you’re looking for a single-use, disposable lens for a very specific event, you should pick a Daily Lens. But if you need something reusable that will last you all month long, you’re better off picking our 30-Day Lenses.

Prescription- Does your eyesight need a little corrective help? If so, be sure to select the correct prescription strength for your eyes when shopping for your lenses. And if you don’t require a corrective pair, make sure you’re choosing a 0.00 strength (plano) pair.

Measurements- You can also check that the measurements of the lenses match up with the measurements of your eyes. Each product page will specify the diameter and base curve of the lens. You’ll find the measurements of your own eyes on your most recent report from your optician. Make sure that these measurements match up with the style you’re purchasing, or you risk experiencing discomfort and blurriness when wearing the lenses.

If you have any more questions about the comfort of your lenses or if you’re unsure about how to take care of different lens types, take a look at our Lens Care Guides:

Final Checks

Finally, you always want to double-check that the lenses you picked are right for you and for your eye color.

Take a look at the pictures on the lens product page to get a better idea of how they look on different people. You can also look for the lens in our Affiliate Gallery to see how to wear and style these contacts:

And for a personalised test, you can use the virtual try-on technology on each product page to try the lenses on your own eyes, and see if you like them.

Once that’s all done, you’re finally ready to buy your colored contact lenses!

You’ve thought about the color, the style, duration, prescription, and measurements, and you’ve checked that the lenses cover your natural eye color.

In other words, you’ve become a lens pro!

This summer, you can use your new skills to find plenty of bright, bold colored lenses for every occasion. Make the most of the rest of Pride month with some outrageous looks!

Whether you’re headed to a cosplay convention or staying home to bask in the heat, there’s nothing better than looking your best and being your most colorful self.
