Style & Beauty: Amethyst Crush (Contact Lenses)

Anyone who knows me is all too familiar with my new-found obsession for colored contact lenses. For about a week now I've been thinking so much about those 'Amethyst' contacts I tried on at EO (Executive Optical). So guess what I did? I gave in to my cravings!


Initially, I thought purple eyes might be too drastic and strange, but as it turns out, it's not what I imagined it would be (I love it!):

Amethyst by Flexwear Colors

This shade of violet is very subtle, and notice the light brown specs. Overall it's a dark, sultry color under dim lighting, and only slightly noticeable under flash. Up close, an ethereal pattern and interesting hue can be noticed.

The Strange Thing About Violet Eyes

Some say there was a time when there was once a race of people with violet eyes. Others say, violet eyes are really just a deeper shade of blue.


Other colors I have a crush on:


Ultramarine by Flexwear Colors

Great for going out. This color shows really well in flash photos and under natural sunlight, as it would have a luminous effect to it. Under dim lighting it could be mistaken for gray or hazel/greenish.


Peppermint by Flexwear Colors
Very natural but adds a beautiful, subtle highlight to naturally dark eyes. This can be worn everyday and complements naturally brown eyes.
