1. Know your skin tone

The first step is to identify your skin tone. Skin tones can be divided into two main categories:

• Warm tones: Skin with golden, yellow or olive undertones.
• Cool tones: Skin with pink, red or bluish undertones.

2. Contact lenses for warm skin tones

If you have a warm skin tone, the contact lenses that tend to flatter best are those that create a pleasant, natural contrast.

• Brown lenses: Blend well with warm skin, creating a harmonious look.
• Green lenses: Can give a natural and bright contrast.
• Honey or amber lenses: Resonate with the golden tones of warm skin, creating a radiant look.

3. Contact lenses for cool skin tones

If you have a cool skin tone, opt for lenses that contrast nicely without being too flashy.

• Blue lenses: Create a vibrant contrast with the pink undertones of cool skin.
• Gray lenses: Offer a sophisticated and modern look.
• Purple lenses: Can add a touch of mystery and uniqueness.

4. Consider your natural eye color

The natural color of your eyes can influence the final result of colored contact lenses.

• Dark eyes: Colored lenses in general tend to cover natural color well and offer a more visible change.
• Light eyes: Less opaque colored lenses can accentuate natural color by adding depth and dimension.

5. Test and consultancy

Before making a final choice, it is advisable to try different options and consult an optometrist. This will help you find the most suitable color and make sure the lenses are safe and comfortable for your eyes.

6. Consider personal style

Ultimately, your personal style and the look you want to achieve are important. If you prefer a natural look, opt for colors that mimic your natural eye tones as closely as possible. If you want a bolder look, you can experiment with more intense and vibrant colors.

Examples of combinations

• Light skin with cool tones: Blue or gray lenses.
• Light skin with warm tones: Green or honey lenses.
• Dark skin with cool tones: Purple or gray lenses.
• Dark skin with warm tones: Brown or green lenses.

Conclusion

Choosing the right colored contact lenses depends on the combination of your skin tone, the natural color of your eyes and the color of your hair.
