They are nice if you have light eyes and want to make them a bit bigger but at dark eyes they are only noticeable in flash or if you have a tiny iris.

>>7219437
I love their cute contact lens cases! I got purple elephants with my last purchase.

>>7219459
Holy- I didn't notice that before now. Saving for reaction img.

>>7219483
I have dark eyes, actually, but I was looking for a subtle change rather than a dramatic one. Do these just not change the colour at all or something?

And how are they comfort-wise?

>>7219487
I'm thinking of asking for a macaroon one for my next purchase because those look crazy cute as well.

>>7219437
I found them to be extremely uncomfortable which was weird considering the water content is fairly high. I could only wear them a couple of hours before my eyes were straight bloodshot.

It made me sad because they're beautiful lenses otherwise and blended with my light eyes perfectly.

>>7219710
Do you normally wear contacts?

I just want some toasted honey brown lenses because I think it'd look kawaii as fuck with my skin, but I dont normally wear contact lenses as I wear glasses. Barely a prescription but just enough to require I need them on my driver's license, but I digress.

Probably a stupid question but do I need to go in and get measured or do they have like, non prescription lenses just for cosmetic purposes?

Also real talk, I really want those lenses that michelle phan wears. Just not in that color. I'd get them in the same brown I'm wanting in circle lenses. Has anyone tried them? I don't really trust just her word.

>>7219763

Yes. I can wear other circle lens brands 6+ hours with no issue. Not sure what the problem was.

>>7219882
Even if you're not wearing prescription, you still need to know your eyes' base curve before buying contacts. The one-size fit all thing doesn't apply unless you want to risk scratching your cornea.

>>7219894
That's what I was looking for, thank you.

I owe my optometrist a visit anyways.

I'm still looking for some natural blue lenses.

I tried Beaucon Shimmer Blues, but on blue eyes the green hues overpowers the blue.

I tried Geo Nudy Blue, which would be fantastic if it weren't for the shitty keyhole in the center which is painfully apparent in videos and up close.

Thinking of trying Beaucon Natural Blue next, third time lucky I suppose.

Does anybody have any suggestions for me?

>>7219886
I am in love with the colour, but yeah... there are a lot of complaints about comfort even if there are a lot of praise for it too. I'm not sure if I should risk it or hope some pale blue golden-center contacts will magically appear in the future.

>>7219564
They are confortable but at dark eyes they look like this without flash.

>>7219917
I would suggest Geo Tricolor Blue.

>>7219917
Is that you? What false lashes are you using?

>dat feel when BC 9.2

just kill me

>>7219959

That isn't me, just a picture from Google, but her eyelashes look real to me. They look pretty much like mine do with mascara.

>>7219960
>dat feel when there are people in this thread who probably have no idea what you're talking about
>aaaand they will probably scratch their cornea and go blind thanks to shitty nonfitting lenses
optometrists, they exist for a reason

>>7219955

Oh wow, these look great thank you!

>>7219960
At least you know your BC and didn't find out by fucking your eyes up wearing circle lenses that didn't fit.

>>7219960
> tfw average 8.6 BC

>>7219939
Oof, those are really grey. I was looking more for a colour like pic related on dark eyes.

I've been looking at Vassen latte pink but heard it looks a bit red in real life... Is this true?
Also I've been wanting some green lenses because I've never had any. Is G&G Forest Green any good?

>>7219993
why do these look like ben browder's eyes

>>7219981
Haha, this. I ended up buying a pair of circle lenses thinking "yeah, I'm sure it'll be totally fine and my BC will definitely work and I'll just wear these and be super kawaii with no issue!"
As soon as they arrived in the mail, I got nervous, never opened them, and then just gave them to a friend after a month or two of them sitting in my bathroom cabinet.

I wear glasses and asked to get fitted for lenses, but I ended up not getting any because my insurance doesn't cover contact lenses. I have no idea if what they did was even fitting me for lenses and not just a regular 'let's check your eyesight again' visit for just my glasses prescription.
If they have it, would I be able to just go in and ask for my BC and all that good stuff without an actual appointment?

>>7220028
They're Hugh Dancy's, actually.

>>7220004
I ordered the Vassen Latte in Grey on a whim and I hope they look alright on my brown eyes.

>>7220029
If they have it you should be able to get the script for it without an appointment, just call them. Some optometrists will let you have a sample pair of lenses when you're first trying contacts, to make sure that the base curve and brand suits you and you don't have issues wearing contact lenses. I know that happens with me every time I switch brands, since I have screwy eyes anyway

>>7219939
Her eyebrows make me angry.

What lenses show up best on dark eyes? Any suggestions? I have super dark eyes, almost black and have a lot of trouble finding any lenses that show up.

>>7221105
The Princess Pinky Twilight lenses but they can look quite fake.

I saw a pair of contact lenses on tumblr with a blue star right in the pupil and it was really cute but i didnt save the pic and when I google star contacts i get really ugly ones grr

Does anyone know which lenses im talking about because i was very interested in huying them

>>7221175
Were they these? Because if they were, they don't exist. It's shooped.

>>7221189
Ill try to find the pic but do u rly think ppl wud do that?
just go on the internet and tell lies

>>7221175
>>7221204
Are you 14 yrs old? You type like it.

>>7221204
... This is a terrible troll.

Ichigoflavor, the person in the picture, likes to take photos of her eyes with lenses in and she shoops them. Sometimes she adds designs to the lenses, sometimes she doesn't. When she does sponsored reviews, I don't think she messes with the lens design, so she's not lying to anyone. She's just making pretty pictures.

Look up her FAQ if you're so interested. Maybe you found a repost of someone claiming to be her?

>>7221208
>>7221214
How new are you two?

>>7221208
im finding it difficult to choose the right face for this

>>7221208
do u really think ppl would do that?
just fall for baits on the internet?

>>7221214
What i saw was a little list of all the girls contacts she owns and the last one she displayed had the stars right in the pupils but if they dont exist then too bad for me i guess

>>7221226
I don't see how a star on the pupil would even work with contact lenses since you need to leave that area uncovered in order to see. Unless, like, you would be half-blinded when wearing them?

>>7221709
Technically it would be possible to make ones you could see through by having the star in a mesh pattern with little holes, the same way they do white-out contacts. I very much doubt they actually make them though.

BC depends on lense material, right?

I mean, I have a pretty much median BC (8.5) but I wear 8.6 fine. There are GEO lenses I want though, but they're 8.7. Would wearing them be ok, or would they be too 'loose'?

>>7222712
It doesn't depend on the material, not to mention that all soft lens are just silicone anyways.

>>7222712
No. +/- 0.1 is usually okay, but you're pushing it with +0.2

>>7222807
>>7222724

Dammit. I was asking because I know fit depends on BC AND materiel, not just BC exclusively.

>>7223298
Material for fit only matters in the hard lens vs soft lens way (i.e. hard lens should always be exactly your base curve), all soft lenses are much of a muchness and you shouldn't be wearing more than +/-0.1 regardless of the material their made of.

i would love to buy from pinky paradise, but the colours i like dont come in my diameter and plus I regulary use normal contacts so i would need them with prescription..
I hate the fact i cant see well..

I should be saving my money but you really can't beat $11 circle lenses.

Any recommendations for any particular contacts that look good on light blue eyes?
Any color really, I just want some kawaii ass lenses.

FUCK and my optometrist appointment is a month away, I still wanted to ask about what measurement I should get and if I'll die if I don't get a toric lense

Has anyone else with astigmatism in an eye/both got any experience to share?

>>7223521
Greetings, I have pretty bad astigmatism and I'm totally fine with the regular lenses. I just use the power written on my regular doctor prescribed toric lenses. I was able to wear the non toric prescription circle lenses all day actually. Though my Base Curve is nearly the same as the base curve on their contacts (I believe it's the cylinder that is messed up for me). So just check if you have daily wear toric lenses/ your prescription from last check up, to make sure the base curve is quite similar. I think if you're astigmatism is severe though, you probably should hold off on getting regular circle lenses, or wait to see your doctor, rather than consulting me or any anon for that matter. Sorry for being so wordy, hope I cleared some things up at least ^_^

>>7223500
Erm, DIA is pretty interchangeable and I do think they have regular (like 14mm) diameters on PP. Also they do have prescription?

>>7223521
I have mild astigmatism (+0.25) and I'm fine with regular circle lenses.

More or less unrelated, but do you girls often wear makeup with circles lenses? As in more makeup to compensate for the bug-eyed thing going on.

>>7223576
I had the same amount. You'll fuck your eyes up unless you go get fitted for lenses. They may not be uncomfortable, but they will fuck you up, heed my words. Dali series is good for astigmatism.

Shit, I just spent ages picking and choosing which to buy so I didn't miss the sale but I don't know my prescription.
I've comfortably worn '0' dali series circle lenses before when I couldn't make heads nor tails of my glasses prescription, but there isn't even just a '0' option on half of these lenses.
Fuck.

>>7224824
I think that makeup definitely helps. With most circle lenses if the person isn't wearing makeup (especially eyeliner) then their eyes look a bit off and a little buggy.

can anyone help me find pictures of GEO 3tone grey on blue eyes? google sucks

>>7225599

There isn't a plano (0.0) option for the lenses I want.... fuck, what do?

>>7225618
Waiting for it to restock or choose others.

>>7225618
I ordered 0.00 once for the blue ones I wanted and they refunded me and told me I couldn't order them without prescription, even though it had an option. Wtf
This was during their Halloween sale.

Go get fitted for lenses. All of you who haven't, especially all of you who have astigmatism but "are fine" with regular lenses. Don't fuck your eyes up, being kawaii today may make you legally blind tomorrow and not everyone is eligible for LASIK.
Just because your aunt's uncle's friend's second cousin is fine with their lenses despite having fucked up eyes, doesn't mean they will in the future. Brands like acuvue sell circle lenses too, so if the brand fits you, you can order those.

Don't be stupid, seriously.

The first two aren't related to not knowing their prescription, it was just talk about their prescription (or lack of) being out of stock...

Alright, I'm about to check out. Any other recommendations for stuff to grab?
Lashes?
BBcream?
Good face masks?

I mostly do cosplay, anyone want to shout out some favorites?

Augh I can't decide between Geo Princess Mimi Grey and Geo Princess Mimi Green.
I have blue eyes and they're for potential future cosplays that I know I'll kick myself for if I don't buy them now.

Iciest blue I've ever seen on dark eyes.

>>7227227
I never really liked those spiky-edged lenses. It looks so... unnatural, as opposed to the smoother-edged ones. Am I the only one who feels this way?

can someone recommend a good, realistic pair of brown circle lenses? there are so many to choose from and i cant decide which to order

Anyone else get a lot of defective lenses from PP? I thoroughly inspect them before opening but can never keep them in my eyes longer than 10 seconds. Honeycolor lenses are fine though,I'd definitely recommend them!

>>7227475
Can't keep them in my eyes because it feels like they're torn I mean

>>7227219
Are those really contacts? So blue
>that feeling when your dad and his sisters all have blue eyes but you got dark brown. ;(
