Hey guys, it's Tina here!
Welcome back to my channel.
Lately, I've been getting a lot of questions about contact lenses.
Now I don't wear contact lenses all the time, and I mean like the coloured ones,
But when I do, a lot of you guys ask me about what the brand is,
Where it's from, where you can get them...
So I thought today I would do a video on my contact lens collection.
Like I said before, I'm not a big lens wearer
But I do like to sometimes pop contact lenses in,
If I'm going to a special event or if I'm doing a photoshoot,
I just feel like it brightens up your eyes and it just
Makes your eyes stand out more, in photos especially.
So that's when I tend to, you know, opt for contact lenses
Or, you know, sometimes I just want to change things up,
And contact lenses are great for that.
Today I'm going to show you six different pairs.
Most of them are natural colours: you know like greys, browns...
Is grey even a natural colour?
Well, it's natural-ish on brown eyes.
So I don't really tend to wear more of the blue contact lenses and stuff like that,
I just feel like browns, hazels, greys, suit my eyes really well.
So those are the colours I tend to go for.
And today I'll be showing you ones that
I've gotten some in Korea, some you can get in Australia,
I think others you can get online as well.
So I'm just going to do a 'contact lens lookbook', if you will.
The first brand I have here is FreshLook.
These are the One Day Color Contact Lenses.
Now I usually opt for one-day ones, since I don't wear contact lenses too often,
And I find that the one-day ones are much softer and more comfortable to wear.
So the colour I have here is gray.
These lenses have a 3-in-1 colour technology
That helps to blend in with your natural eye colour, making it more natural.
Now I'm not a pro with, you know, putting contact lenses on
I just kinda ... pop them in
I don't know if that's the correct way to do it or not, since I don't wear them too often.
But I remember the first time I did put them on,
I could not stop my eyes from watering
And it was just so hard putting it in.
But I think as you do it, it gets easier.
I just spread it, and then pop it in.
So, this is what the FreshLook Gray contact lenses look like on my eye.
As you can see, this is no-contact lenses, and you can see the difference with the contact lenses in
It does make a big difference and maybe kinda looks scary just having one of each like this.
With this style, it's super comfortable to wear and it doesn't make my iris bigger.
There's contact lenses out there with a bigger diameter that, you know,
if you want to create that, kind of like, dolly-eyed look or make your eyes look bigger
Then you would go for a bigger diameter,
But this one is 13.8 so I feel like it's very close to my natural one.
When I first started experimenting with contact lenses and started trying them on,
Greys were my go-to because I felt like it wasn't too far-off from my natural eye colour—
I mean, my natural eye colour's dark brown, but I feel like greys isn't a bit too out there for me,
So if you're a beginner, I feel like greys are a good starting point.
Also a good tip for those who are new to wearing contact lenses,
I would suggest you put contact lens in your eyes before you start your makeup
Because sometimes, especially when you first start putting things in your eyeball,
It can start to water a lot and when your eye waters, it could smudge everything
So I would suggest you do your makeup AFTER you put your contact lenses in.
Now to take them out it's kind of like the same deal, you just...
Spread your eyeball out,
And then use your fingers to take it out.
There are tools, like I remember seeing a little suction thing that you can use to apply the contact lenses in,
It's probably more hygienic?
I've never used it though, so... you can give that a go?
You know what's really hard, when you have long nails and you try to take your contact lenses off—
Th-that's a mission!
Next I have another grey contact lens,
This is from a brand called Clalen Iris.
It's the #1 brand in Korea for daily circle lenses
And it's worn by K-pop celebrity Suzy Bae from Miss A
So this is the Suzy Gray colour.
These contact lenses have a UVA and UVB protection,
And they're also one-day lenses.
The diameter of this one is a little bit bigger: this one is 14.2.
Unlike FreshLook Gray contacts, this one has more of, maybe a two-tone,
So it doesn't have that extra colour in the middle
And I feel like this one is actually much more comfortable on my eye.
This grey contact almost has a bluey undertone to it, it kind of has a slight tinge of blue.
The next pair I have is from Bausch + Lomb Lacelle.
This colour is Shimmering Gold.
This contact lens has two tones and I feel like it makes my eyes, kind of more vibrant and almost sparkle.
The diameter of this is also bigger: this is 14.2, so it's much bigger than my natural iris.
Now, most of the colour on this lens is on the outside,
And because it has two-tone there's not much colour right in the middle
So I feel like it doesn't blur out my vision, so it's actually really comfortable on the eye.
Also I feel like this colour is perfect for those who want something much more natural,
So if you have naturally brown eyes and you just want your eyes to kind of like, sparkle, this is a great pair.
Another one that I like is the ReVIA Color contact lenses and these are also one-day.
The colour is Mist Iris which is... I guess like a grey.
This is made in Taiwan and it has UV protection.
This contact lens has a high-water content which helps to keep your eyes quite moist and doesn't dry your eyes out.
The colour is quite subtle and it has a diameter of 14.1.
So it makes your eyes slightly bigger.
Finally, I have two contact lens left and they're from the same brand.
It's called Ever Color 1Day Luquage.
This is the moist and UV luquage range.
The first colour I have is Aqua Beige.
This is made up of three tones and also has UV protection.
The diameter on this is 14.5 so it will make your eyes look bigger.
In terms of how it feels on my eyes, I feel like...
It's still comfortable but I can kind of see a slight fog around my pupil
Because it does have that extra tone in the middle.
That's something that I noticed.
I feel like these lenses have a more green-yellow tinge to it so it's much more obvious on the eyes.
The last contact lens I have is from the same brand and the colour is Foggy Chocolat.
This lens has a much warmer brown, almost like a reddy-brown colour to it.
I feel like I look like a vampire from Twilight, you know Edward Cullen has this colour eyes?
It's definitely a lot more intense than the other contacts I have
And it is much more noticeable so if you want something a little bit out there, this could be a good pair for you
Or if you just want to be a vampire for the day, this is great.
It's like I'm thirsty for blood.
I feel like this lens and the FreshLook one,
Out of all the ones that I have, I feel like these ones are the least comfortable
Just because I can kind of see it a little bit—
It kind of fogs up around my pupil a little bit because it has three tones.
And it doesn't feel like there's nothing there.
The rest of the contacts I have, I feel like you just don't even notice that you're wearing contacts,
But this one, you can slightly feel like there's something in your eyeball.
So that's just something for you guys to note!
If I had to choose my favourite pair out of all of this,
I think I would choose my Lacelle ones, the ones from Bausch + Lombe
The Shimmering Gold—I feel like that one is really wearable,
It's not too crazy out there, it gives me the perfect, kind of like sparkle in my eyes,
It makes a stand out enough in photos,
And it IS really comfortable to wear—I don't even notice that it's actually in my eye.
So that's my colour contact lens collection!
