Coloured Contact Lenses for Brown and Dark Eyes
In short: Brown and dark eyes need strong-coverage coloured lenses, otherwise your natural colour shows through. Light shades such as grey, light green and blue-grey create the biggest change. At Freshlens the best choices are the Dawn collection (Dawn Gray, Dawn Green, Dawn Blue, Dawn Brown), Fog Fantasy Gray, Oasis Jade Green, Twilight Green, Taylor Blue-Gray and Stunna Girl Gray – all without prescription, as yearly lenses from €18.90.
Why many coloured lenses don't show on dark eyes
The colour of a lens is a thin pattern over your iris. Transparent designs blend with your own colour – great on blue or green eyes, but on dark brown eyes often only a faint glow remains. Strong-coverage lenses have a denser, layered pattern with a dark outer ring that covers your own colour and still looks natural.
