Questions about Cosmetic Contacts?

Question

Well, I was considering purchasing a pair of sky blue cosmetic contact lenses. Right now my eyes are blue-green. I want them to be purely blue (you know what I mean) just because I think they are gorgeous and different.

I saw some sites online that offer a whole bunch of different cosmetic contacts (some just plain wacky) but they had some that were like "shining eyes". It made your eyes look sparkly, I think. Would this be natural looking? I'm not sure but they did look stunning.

Also, my eyes are in perfect condition. Do cosmetic contacts mess with your vision, or are they just an accessory? I don't want these to irritate my eyes, mess them up, etc.

Could anyone please give me a link to an online site where I can purchase cosmetic contacts?

Or would it be better to buy these at a Lens Crafters or something...do they sell them there?

What color contacts do you recommend for me?

I have dirty blonde hair, olive skin, blonde eyebrows (unless I color them, then they are brownish) and blue-green eyes currently.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Cosmetic contacts shouldn't mess with your vision as long as you take care of them properly, cleaning them and using solution. A few have pupil holes that are too small for some people. I've seen sparkly enhancers but heard that you can't even tell a difference using them. You will need a prescription for contacts if you live in the US even if they're just cosmetic so you will need to ask your optometrist. I haven't seen the babydoll eyes but I think changing your eyes to black would be a shame. You can see pictures of people wearing different colored contacts at aclens.com/forums, that's how I'm basing which contacts to try because the pictures that the contact companies put out are sooooo far off. The freshlook dimensions are ones I'm leaning towards the most, I think they look the most natural.  

Answer 2

you can get contacts w/out a prescription and since you want blue  go for that :
