Non Prescription Color Contacts: Choose the Right Color Contact Lens
If you've considering wearing non prescription color contacts as part of your beauty or fashion regimen, here are goof-proof tips to choose the right colored lenses for you.
Skeptical about altering your eye color?
There’s no need to be afraid about non prescription color contacts anymore.
With a range of colors from lavender to ice blue, you can make your blue eyes purple or your brown eyes blue in less than 60 seconds — and without damaging your eyes.
From visiting the optometrist too choosing the right color contacts for your skin color, use the following tips to alter the color of your eyes for a natural and beautiful eye look.
Non Prescription Color Contacts Tip # 1 – Go see the doctor.
Visit a licensed optometrist to find the best color contacts for your eye. Whether your eyes need vision correction or not, your city, state or country may require a prescription for contact lenses.
In fact, in the United States you are required to have a lens prescription when buying all contact lenses, including plano lenses. When buying contact lenses off the internet, you will know the best fit and type of lenses that will suit your eyes.
Non Prescription Color Contacts Tip # 2 – Choose the type of lens to change your eye color.
There are 3 types of contact lenses worn to change the color of your eyes; the first one is an enhancement tint lens, the second lens type is a color tint, and for dramatic and costume looks you can wear theatrical lenses.
Non Prescription Color Contacts Tip # 3 – Select the contact color that complements your skin tone best.
Pale and light skin look best in dark colors like chocolate-brown and deep green contacts, while medium skin tones look better in blue and light green colored contacts and darker skin tones can wear pale colors like lavender and ice blue really well.
You can also choose between a slight tinted eye hue to enhance, lighten or deepen your natural eye color–or a lens color that will completely change your eye natural color.
Non Prescription Color Contacts Tip # 4- Select the contact color that complements your skin tone best.
Determine the best lens type to complement your lifestyle. Select a disposable color contact that you can wear for a month, and then discard.

Or you can buy colored contact lenses that you will replace yearly that will need daily cleaning and sanitizing with a contact lens solution.
Can I wear makeup with my colored contact lenses?
Yes. But avoid getting any eye makeup or foundation on your lenses. Even one flake of your mascara is enough to ruin a contact lens.
Place your colored contacts in your eyes, before applying makeup. You can use hypoallergenic makeup like Clinique, Soft Mate and Almay cosmetics to paint your eyes pretty!
But make sure you wash your hands thoroughly before touching your contact lenses, so you won’t transfer any creams , lotions or oils to your colored lenses.

But before you sign up for surgery, you should take the time and care choosing the person who will be in charge of your life – and your looks.

How to Get Glowing Skin: 7 Tips to Make You More Gorgeous
You want clear, vibrant and glowing skin…and you want it now.
And restoring the vibrant glow of your youth, or adding a few new glowing skin tips to your beauty arsenal is easy to integrate into your daily beauty routine.
Get ready to shed dry and flaky skin to reveal healthy and naturally beautiful skin that’s ready to make its début this spring and summer.
We all know the beauty basics: exercise regularly, eat healthy and drink water faithfully.
I’ve assembled a few new beauty tips–mixed with the old faithful advice dispensed by our mothers and grandmothers–to maximize your skin’s potential and add a healthy glow.
1) Wear some pearls to get glowing skin.
Certain shades of pearls, preferably pink and creamy beige, help to cast a beautiful glow upon skin. You don’t need to splurge on a luxurious set of Mikimoto pearls; costume jewelry can aid glowing skin too.
2) Let your skin breathe after a full day of makeup.
Our mothers always warned us to remove our face paint before going to bed. Cleanse your face thoroughly with soap and water, before hitting the sack. Who knew that your skin starts to heal and repair itself around 10 p.m. Mother knows best.
3) Exfoliate. Exfoliate. And Exfoliate some more.
Slough off dry surface cells to reveal the glowing skin hiding below. Try an at-home microdermabrasion kit to remove dead skin. If you are on a beauty budget, a facial scrub found in your local drugstore will work just as well.
4) Get glowing skin from the inside out.
Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water daily. On your next doctor’s visit, ask for a recommendation for any vitamins and supplements that will expose that natural glow hiding within. Add a dose of exercise every other day to eliminate toxins, increase circulation and get skin glowing.
5) Use collagen to fight free-radical damage to skin. Or use blue light therapy to fight acne.
The sun provides exposure to free radicals that break down collagen in skin. To counteract damage apply gels and creams infused with collagen, peptides and retinol to restore your skin’s healthy glow.
6) Moisturize religiously and wear sunscreen every day.
Find a moisturizer with a minimum of SPF 15 or higher and apply it liberally to your skin. You’re never too young to wear night cream, start slathering on your favorite skin cream to fight dry skin.
7) Fake the glow.
Use tinted moisturizer and bronzer to add a healthy glow to your skin. Use hair color, or a glaze, that will add shine to your face and will reflect light onto your face.
Getting glowing skin is a process, and it is not for the faint of heart.
As long as you remember to never pick your pimples, clean your makeup brushes weekly, drink 6 to 8 glasses of water daily, get a good night’s rest, exercise and pamper your skin morning, noon and night…you earned the right to flaunt your beautifully golden, and glowing skin.
