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.
