What's Your Eye Shape? What Colored Contact Lenses Suit You?

19.11.2023 | Leah | TTDeye Care

Colored contact lenses have become increasingly popular in recent years as a way to enhance one's natural beauty. They come in a variety of colors and can be used to create a bold or subtle look depending on the individual's preference. However, not all contact lenses are created equal, and choosing the right color and shape for your eye can make all the difference in achieving a natural and flattering look.

In this blog, we will explore how to choose the right colored contact lenses for different eye shapes and enhance your natural beauty.

Firstly, it is important to understand the different eye shapes and their characteristics. There are six main eye shapes: round, almond, monolid, hooded, downturned, and upturned. Each eye shape has its own unique characteristics and requires a different approach when it comes to choosing the right colored contact lenses.

Common Eye Shapes


Eye Shape #1: Round Eyes | Grey Contacts Recommended

For round eyes, it is recommended to choose colored contact lenses that will help elongate and define the eye shape. Colors such as grey can help achieve this effect.

It is important to avoid colors that are too bright or bold as they can make the eye appear even rounder. Therefore, color contact lenses with obvious limbal rings are not a very wise choice.

Eye Shape #2: Almond Eyes | Natural Contact Lenses Recommended

Almond eyes are considered to be the most versatile eye shape and are often described as having a classic and natural beauty. The almond shape is characterized by a slightly pointed outer corner and a wider inner corner, which gives the eye a balanced and symmetrical appearance. This natural symmetry makes almond eyes a great choice for natural-style colored contact lenses.

Additionally, almond eyes have a natural symmetry that can be accentuated with colored contact lenses. By choosing colors that highlight the contrast between the iris and the surrounding whites of the eye, the natural almond shape can be enhanced and defined. This can create a bright and awake appearance to the eye that looks natural and effortless.

When it comes to natural-style colored contact lenses, the goal is to enhance the natural beauty of the eye without creating an overly dramatic or artificial look. Choosing colors that complement the natural skin tone and eye color is important, and almond eyes have the advantage of being able to pull off a wide range of colors.

Eye Shape #3: Monolid Eyes | Purple & Blue Contacts Recommended

Monolid eyes have the unique characteristic of having no crease, making them appear smaller. Choosing colored contact lenses that are brighter in color can help make the eye appear larger and more defined. Colors such as blue or violet can help achieve this effect.

Purple or blue contacts for monolid eyes

Violet and blue colored contact lenses can have a beautiful and dramatic effect on monolid eyes. By choosing colored contact lenses that are brighter or more vibrant in color, the eye can appear larger and more vibrant.

Purple and blue lenses can help achieve this effect by creating a bright and bold look that draws attention to the eye. These colors can make the eye appear more vibrant and awake. Overall, purple and blue lenses can give monolid eyes a beautiful and dramatic effect that enhances their natural beauty.

Eye Shape #4: Hooded Eyes | Green & Brown Contacts Recommended

Hooded eyes have the characteristic of having a heavy fold of skin that hangs over the crease, making the eye appear smaller. Choosing colored contact lenses that are lighter in color can help create the illusion of a larger eye.

Green or brown eyes for hooded eyes

By choosing colored contact lenses that are lighter in color, the eye can appear brighter and more open. Green and light brown contacts can help achieve this effect by creating a natural and subtle look that enhances the natural beauty of the eye. These colors can also create a beautiful contrast against darker skin tones, making the eye appear more vibrant and awake.

Eye Shape #5: Downturned Eyes | Violet & Blue Contacts Recommended

Downturned eyes have the characteristic of having a slight droop at the outer corner of the eye, which can create a sad or tired appearance.

Violet or blue contacts for downturned eyes

To counteract this effect and create a brighter and more awake appearance, Violet or blue colored contact lenses can be a great choice. These colors can create a contrast against the whites of the eye and enhance the natural shape of the eye. The bright and bold colors can also draw attention upwards towards the upper part of the eye, creating a lifting effect that can counteract the natural droop of the outer corners.

TTDeye recommends Vanilla Purple, NASA Purple, Grape Purple, Nana Blue, and Juice Blue to create a brighter appearance.

Eye Shape #6: Upturned Eyes | Dark Lenses Recommended

Upturned eyes have the characteristic of having a slight lift at the outer corner of the eye, which can create a playful or flirtatious appearance.

Black contacts for upturned eyes

To enhance this natural lift and create a more dramatic effect, dark brown or black colored contact lenses can be a great choice. These colors can create a bold and striking contrast against the whites of the eye, making the eye appear more defined and intense. The darker colors can also add depth and dimension to the natural shape of the eye, creating a more dramatic and alluring effect.
