Hi. Just wondered if anyone's tried these lenses out?
I've got them in grey for special occasions and they look natural from a distance but quite obviously fake at the same time because no one has grey eyes. I was wondering if anyone's tried the Honey or Hazel or any other colour for a very subtle change on Asian eyes....
Or any other brands for that matter, Freshlook just happen to be ones I've tried before

Have you tried freshlook radiance? I've heard that they are designed to change the color in a more natural way. The two colors for dark eyes in this particular line are autumn and sunrise.

yeh I've seen them but I'm not convinced. I think they don't change the colour, but add a sparkly bit which catches the light and makes your eyes "twinkle"! probs not the best look on a guy!

Yes I've tried grey a few years ago.. Didnt like em.. They looked too fake.. I bought my regular contacts back then and I got the colored ones for free.. So didnt feel bad about wasting money or so.. A friend of mine tried hazel.. It looked more orange to me than hazel..

freshlooks are more for the "natural" or colorblending. I have em in hazel and to me htey look like one shader lighter than mynatural eyes but in pics there's a big difference..but not too fake looking u know what i mean?
I also have greyish blue contacts from EXPRESSIONS brand..i love em.

^yea i like expression color better, it changes your face in a really pretty way. although freshlook is u want a REALLY natural look- cuz i kind of have small eyes so their effect was not noticeable.

I think I'll try the hazel. The effect I'm after is the "one shade lighter than my natural shade" rather than the "orange" so here's hoping....!

Freshlook colorblends is great- I've used them for about 7 years now, in place of my glasses. I recently switched to non color just 'cause I got tired of the whole color thing (I had grey before). What I would suggest is that you be very careful about the color that you choose- especially in relation to your skintone- light eyecolors (lenses) and a darker complexion is not a good combination!

hey, Ive been using the Freshlook Green ones for about 4 years now. Not everyday though, they look really natural. People many times confuse them for my real eyes.
