Are you looking for the perfect colored contacts for dark eyes but feeling overwhelmed by all the choices? Don’t worry, Kriseye is here to offer you the most detailed buying guide.
When we talk about dark eyes, we generally refer to black or brown eyes, which account for approximately 79% of the global population. Because of this prevalence, there are many colored contacts available that are suitable for dark eyes. Take Kriseye’s colored contacts, for example—the design and color of the tinted area can perfectly cover all shades of the iris. But is it enough to simply choose opaque, high-coverage lenses? The answer is: no. Our lenses also have a section called the optical zone at the center, where light needs to pass through to reach the pupil, so the optical zone is transparent and retains the wearer's original pupil color. Therefore, choosing dark lenses with a larger optical zone can reduce the risk of the edges of the optical zone obstructing your view when the pupils dilate, keeping your vision clear. If you opt for lighter-colored lenses, select styles with a soft transition at the edge of the optical zone to help blend the color of the lenses with your natural eye color. Still unsure of what to choose? Below, I’ll recommend a few popular colored contacts that are perfect for dark eyes—make sure to take note!
Natural Style: Brown or Gray Contacts
If you want to subtly enhance your natural eye color in a low-key way, buying colored contacts in a shade similar to your own eyes is a great idea, making them perfect for daily wear and suitable with any makeup. Colors like brown, black, chestnut, honey, and dark gray are great options for dark eyes. Brown includes shades such as dark brown, light brown, and more. In this article, we go into detail about the differences between various shades of brown eyes to help you pick your favorite tone. When purchasing, opt for semi-transparent lenses with low coverage to allow the lens color to blend better with your natural eye color, avoiding harsh boundaries between the optical zone and the lens edge. This way, you can maintain the natural beauty of dark eyes while adding a fashionable touch. Here, I recommend Kriseye’s Wing Gray Contacts, Magic Brown Hazel Contacts, and Sandy Twilight Brown Contacts for a natural look.
Fashion Style: Green and Purple Contacts
If subtle isn’t enough for you, no problem—go all out and completely change your eye color to become the master of fashion and trends! Green and purple colored contacts are ideal for dark eyes. Green contacts create a unique effect on dark eyes, appearing softer and more natural compared to other colors. Like brown eyes, green eyes also come in various shades, such as Dark Green Eyes, Light Green Eyes, and Emerald Green Eyes. In our article, we delve into the differences between different green eye shades to help you choose the one you love. For first-time buyers, I recommend selecting green lenses with yellow or brown tones, such as Green Hazel Contacts or Polar Lights Green Yellow Contacts, which blend well with dark pupils for a special yet natural look. Always opt for opaque, high-coverage lenses to fully change your eye color.
Purple contacts, on the other hand, give off a dreamy, exotic vibe, perfect for those who want to emphasize their eyes' individuality. Deep purple pairs well with dark eyes, creating a mysterious and layered visual effect, symbolizing fashion and trendiness. They are perfect for nighttime or party occasions, offering a standout, eye-catching look.
