1. When wearing colored contact lenses, ensure the area around your eyes is clean and bright. Otherwise, your face may appear dull. If you have dark circles, make sure to apply concealer thoroughly!
2. Coordinate your eye makeup colors with your lens shades.
But if you're new to makeup and feel unsure about mastering this look, you can simplify things by categorizing lenses into warm-toned (e.g., brown, purple) and cool-toned (e.g., blue, green, gray) shades. Warm-toned lenses pair well with brown eyeshadow, while cool-toned lenses complement cool-toned eyeshadows—gray being a basic go-to color.
3. Colored lenses not only enhance natural beauty but can also correct and compensate for certain imperfections.
Women with the following eye characteristics may benefit from slightly enlarging colored lenses to improve their appearance:
Those with small pupils
A noticeable white area (lower sclera) visible between the pupil and lower eyelid—commonly called "lower sclera"—can create a harsh, unapproachable look.Wearing slightly enlarging colored contacts can resolve this issue.
Those with narrow irises
Long-shaped eyes make the iris appear narrow. This eye type can also be improved with colored contacts.
