Celebrity-Inspired Looks Using Contact Lenses

In the 90’s and the start of the second millennium, only Madonna, Kylie Minogue, as well as the gay community can pull avant-garde styles without looking too alien. But today, thanks to pop stars led by Lady Gaga, girls are much braver in pushing the boundaries of fashion when expressing their creativity.

Fashionable contact lens are recently catching up in the world of fashion, and soon enough, not only will Korea and the United States be in on it, but the rest of the world will learn to appreciate this trend as well.

If you’re one of those fashionable girls who love to wear contact lenses, why not take notes from the styles of famous fashion-forward celebrities like Katy Perry, Nikki Minaj, and Christina Aguilera?

Katy Perry

Even before the avant-garde trend has started, Katy Perry has been known for her doll-like looks. However, since the launch of her album, California Girls, she started donning blue hair and unique outfits.

Be inspired by Katy Perry’s hair, eyes, and dresses the next time you go out with your girl friends. If you’re not yet ready to dye your hair blue, or any non-conventional shades, simply make your hair “big” by curling it with an iron. Then, pick a pair of bright-colored contact lenses like the Pink Butterfly Contact Lenses, and apply a dark-colored eye shadow to make it stand out. Top the whole look with neon-colored outfit.

Nicki Minaj

This dark-skinned female rapper has captured our attention with her hit song Super Bass, and various other collaborations with well-known singers. Even though she is not the classic beauty, Nicki Minaj still maintains her own style with eccentric colors, daring outfits, and gorgeous fingernails.

Score Nicki Minaj’s look by dressing up in an all-bright outfit. If your hair isn’t blonde, either dye it or wear a yellow wig. Wear the reddest lipstick you can find, and the longest fake nails there is. Because everything is already attention grabbing, make your eyes look sweet with the low-key Anime Blush Color Contact Lenses. This will show everyone that despite the crazy bling they see from afar, the real you is sweet when looked at up close.

Christina Aguilera

Before she became sophisticated, Christina Aguilera used to be known as a “wild child,” walking the red carpet in skin-showing, army-inspired outfits. It wasn’t until her stint in recording one of the movie Moulin Rouge’s soundtrack, Lady Marmalade, did Christina Aguilera show that she can dress up more lady-like.

Relive Christina Aguilera’s Lady Marmalade look by applying lots of mascara on your lashes, putting on red lipstick, and wearing Dolly-eye Blue Circle Lenses. Wear this look with a short, glittery dress.

Contact Lens And Photography: Score That Beauty Shot

With blogging and photo sharing remaining to be popular, it’s not surprising to see some young people who become famous because of their blogs or their photos. It could be because of their looks, their blogs’ contents, or the topics they cover, all these famous bloggers have one secret in common: they post high-quality photos.

While photographing clothes is easy, taking photos of a made-up face is much, much harder. Because the makeup colors will have blended itself on the face, a normal digital camera will either produce a photo of a white face (when used with flash), or a clean, flawless face, but without signs of eye and cheek colors (when used without flash).

In taking beauty shots, like those in makeup advertisements, there are a lot of things to consider.

For a photographer, the lighting must be bright enough that it makes the model’s eyes appear as if they’re glowing, and that the photos must not produce a geisha-like face, unless that is the theme they’re aiming for.

As for the makeup artist, the makeup must be thick enough to be seen in photos, and it must be equally blended.

Make Your Eyes Glow by Using Contact Lenses

While the makeup artist can only worry about the equal blending of several layers of makeup, the photographer needs to be meticulous enough to achieve the glowing eyes effect. The secret here is to have the model wear contact lenses that have a white ring surrounding the pupils. This has been proven effective, but it’s already becoming overused.

If you’re taking beauty shots for your blog and you want to have an edge, then instead of using the usual white ringed contact lenses, try out the numerous fashionable contact lenses available.

Not only will they make your eyes glow, but they also give distinct patterns that capture the reader’s attention.

For starters, try the simple designs first, like the Geo Tri Color Violet contact lenses, which give your eyes a pair of lilac-colored irises. This could be used as a test to see whether your readers like the new addition or not.

Once you have received positive feedback, then it’s time for you to explore. The Flying Butterfly Color Contact Lenses has three butterfly patterns, which look like a reflection of three real butterflies when one looks into the wearer’s eyes.

If you’re an anime-lover, then go ahead and try out Sailor Moon Anime Cosplay Contact Lenses collection. It has a pair of contact lenses for each main character of the hit anime series, from Sailor Moon’s eyes, to those of Sailor Pluto’s. This idea could draw more traffic to your blog.

Post-Christmas Gift Ideas

Sometimes, there are people whom others forget to give a gift on Christmas. Imagine the awkward moment when they realize that these people have actually included them in their gift list. How do you fix this?

Usually, the response to try and save this moment would be, “Sorry, but I think I left your gift at home. Mind if I mail it your house instead?” That’s one problem solved; yet another one arises. By then that person is already expecting a gift, and there is no way out other than admitting that you didn’t include her in your own list.

While various stores everywhere are holding post-Christmas sales, it’s kind of impossible to find a gift for them that you think they haven’t gotten this Christmas yet. So why not be creative and give them a pair of contact lenses?

For That Girl You Barely Know

You may know her as your quiet seatmate in English class, or that girl who lives far from your home. The thing is, the two of you don’t talk much, and if you do, it’s always about school; and you have no idea what she’s like as a person. So it’s quite surprising that she has a Christmas gift for you, and that you actually like it.

Because you don’t know her too well, give her contact lenses that are simple yet cute. There are kinds that have unique shades such as pink or sea green, while there are others with white rings in the middle or pale butterfly patterns. Usually, most girls like the bestselling products.

For the Cousin You Don’t Really Like

The two of you may have had your share of fights and cold treatments in every family reunion, but you know your parents would be disappointed if you didn’t return the favor of the Christmas sweater she sent you that is obviously re-gifted. Why not give her a pair of avant-garde contact lenses?

Aside from colored contacts, there are also those meant for Halloween and costume parties, like “x”-marked contact lenses, werewolf’s eye-like contact lenses, and smiley contact lenses. Give her something that she will appreciate, as much as you did the sweater she gave. Don’t forget to add a note, “For that freak in you. ☺”

For Your Secret Santa

Even though you already bought something for your Secret Santa before his/her identity was revealed, you may not be so proud of it once you find out who he/she is. You could make up for the “generic Christmas gift” with a really nice pair of contact lenses. Because of the variety of contact lens designs available, you won’t have a difficult time finding what she’ll like.

Choosing the Right Shade of Colored Contact Lens

People sometimes neglect that choosing the right shade of colored contact lens also means taking into consideration the skin tone and what types of colors fit best with it. Sometimes, they get over excited in trying out their favorite colors that it ends up making them look less flattering rather than the other way around.

Colored contact lens are supposed to enhance one’s look so one should make sure he/she is wearing a color or shade that suits well, and this is mostly done by analyzing skin tone first.

For Dark Skin

A lot of people would say that colored contacts with lighter colors do not suit those who have a dark or chocolate skin tone. But as long as they know how to choose the right shades, then it shouldn’t be a problem.

Lighter shades of brown such as honey or autumn will look great and add glow to dark skin. For a sexier look, it is advised to go for colors with cold undertones such as grey or amethyst.
Green and blue will also work on dark skin, as long as it does not lean towards the brighter shades. Darker shades are more appropriate for a more subtle and prettier blend.

For Tanned Skin

Basically, bright shades work well for this type of skin tone. Some recommended colors are honey, hazel, grey or bright shades of green to make the skin tone pop more.

Navy blue is also good for a more subtle look, but other shades of blue especially the light ones should be avoided. Also, it is advised to not match the color of eye makeup to the color of the contact lens as this will dull the effect on the eyes.

For Fair Skin

Fair skin is a skin tone that can pull off a look with bright and bold colors for the eyes. Turquoise and aqua creates a fresh effect, resembling that of water and works best when worn with white clothing.

For a bolder look, purple and amethyst also blend well with fair skin tones. For a more natural look, shades of blues and grays are great choices. Colors to avoid are shades of brown such as honey because the skin is too light to carry out the mischievous and playful look those kinds of color bring.

Remember that there are really no fixed rules or requirements in picking out colors. There are some people who want to be experimental and stand out regardless if the color they pick fits their skin tone or not.

But if the aim is to look more visually pleasing in general, then one must take into consideration the colors that blend well with their skin tone.

Mix and Match Your Jewelry and Contacts!

Jewelry are not just accessories—they can make or break your outfit. If one has too many accessories, it can look too crowded and make you look trashy and bulky instead of pretty. You can look all right without some accessories, but they can really add a to your look and highlight different parts of your body by drawing attention to these areas.

What to Wear…

Monotones used to be something nice to look at—now it’s considered a little dowdy and bland. Mixing and matching your jewelry to match your outfit is now acceptable and more pleasing to the eye, with people matching spots and stripes as well as animal prints and solid colors. Jewelry should not only match your outfit but also the colors you have on your face. So, if you wear colored contact lenses, there are some pieces of jewelry or accessories that will match your color scheme and help you look more dazzling.

Plain silver jewelry is the simplest to wear and matches any color contact lens. Chunkier and more country style accessories such as beaded bracelets or corded bracelets work well with brown contact lenses such as the Geo Nudy Gold contact lenses. These accessories usually come in hues of brown and gold and have bright colors infused into their simple and rustic charm.

Other accessories are best worn with contact lenses that match the outfit and style. If your accessories are made for hip and rock, then contact lenses that show off your inner rock will make a statement. If your accessories are daintier and more feminine, then the doll eyed look such as the Barbie Eye Green color contact lenses will help accentuate your sweet and sassy look.

…And When to Wear It

Silver jewelry and other heavy metals are best worn at night, though metallic accessories are very flexible and can also be used during the day. Just don’t keep on throwing on the bling or you’ll look as though you were heading to the disco rather than to work or to school. This also applies to contact lenses—use the more exciting and daring ones at night, especially the glow in the dark Glow contact lens or the more animated and fun contacts.

Other accessories and contact lenses can also be worn during the day, provided they are not too overwhelming and do not hinder you from doing your work or your studies. If your bangles and contacts hinder you from typing on the keyboard or from writing your assignments, it shouldn’t be worn at all.

Lastly, just remember to have fun and find a style that rocks your personality—whatever it is.

Talk With Your Eyes and Your Outfit!

Do you know that your eyes can be your greatest asset?

Whether it comes to getting that dream job you have always wanted, looking classy while hanging out with friends or even attracting the opposite sex, your eyes can play an important role.

Aside from your natural eyes, you can easily attract people with the aid of contact lenses. Here are some practical contact lenses-outfit mash-ups that can help you make an impression!

For Job Interviews and Official Business

Job interviews are quite tricky. Aside from remembering to show your personality and make an impression by the way you carry yourself, your outfits say a lot about you.

Start by researching on the company you are vying for. Observe their culture and way of doing things. More often than not, this culture spills over into their way of dressing.

Now that you know how they do things, start by dressing up in a manner similar to their culture, taking care not to be overly casual.

The general rule is to wear smart casual. Let neutral-colored contact lenses go with that. Choose a pair that highlights your eye color in a manner that makes it stand out but is not too bright.

By wearing contact lenses that make your eyes look bigger, you appear more alert and lively. Some companies look for this type of employees.

For Attracting that Special Someone

Attracting the special someone would always mean showing him who you really are. Aside from conversations and small talks, one way by which he can really get to know you is through how you dress.

So what outfits are best? It really depends on who you are. If you are outgoing, why not try a mix of yellow and purple outfit coupled with contact lenses with shades of bright blue or green?

If you are more serious and laid-back, try slacks, a polo shirt and a pair of lenses that can simply make your already-bright eyes appear more alive.

For Casual Daily Hang-Outs

Pick outfits that can match your eyes. For those with dark eyes, choose light colors that can highlight your eyes; outfits with earthly tones may work well.

For those with bright eyes, choose darker colors that can make your eyes stand out; shades of pale colors are good ideas.

If you have existing outfits that may not much your eyes well, take the reverse step and buy contact lenses that would complement your outfits instead! This

As an additional tip, always remember to highlight the distinct hues of your eyes. You may have brown eyes with traces of grey or blue. Wear contact lenses that enlarge your eyes to make these more noticeable.

This way, you get to be pretty while using what you already have. Above all, always remember that “bright eyes” are always attractive. You get those only by constantly smiling.
