I was out and about looking for contacts for a Neuro cosplay and came across these.
Sea Green is more or less what I'm after, but I've been told freshlook are shit... Anyone have anything to add to that?

Other suggestions for even more suitable lenses are more than welcome, since I'm a bit stuck for really close matches.

These are my favorite green lenses for a bright as hell green that still doesn't look *too* cartoony.

Yes, freshlook are shit. They do NOT look like that picture. Trust me. Cosplay.com has contact lens threads if you want to see userpics testing out lenses. For cosplay, you want theatrical lenses or ones that cover the whole iris. Freshlook has a transparent pattern on them so they have the illusion of blending into your eye, not changing the eyecolor. It's hard to explain but yeah I hope that helps.

Resounding on everyone saying no to Freshlook Colorblends. They don't even touch on tinging your eyecolor.

Picture very related.

And personally, I love the Acuvue 2 enhancer colors. The opaques also give a good, solid color, but they don't entirely cover the middle of the iris.

Emerald enhancer in the picture.

Anyone have a recommendation for lenses that would give your eyes a gold tint?

Freshlook Radiance in Autumn, on grey eyes. Half the time they don't show up properly, but trust me, in real life, they can be really freaking creepy. Once you get a decent look at them, you realize how weird they are.

I've worn all three of these colors and they look pretty neat if you've got naturally light eyes. Only problem is, even wearing pacific blue, my eyes still look green because that's their natural color blending through.

I don't want freaky ones. I was hoping to find a subtle gold kind. But I'll check those out. My eyes are green so they might subdue them.

Well... I should better describe freaky. They're not like solid blocks with no definition, but they just give your eyes a weird alternate shine. If you're doing Yoko or something, I'd say no, but if your character is any sort of evil or non-human, do it anyway. Any place like Hakim optical can give you a demo run and try it out for free.

I've worn Freshlook for years and loved them
Then again, my natural eye color is green. Thus, the sea green works well
The blue one, however, looks good until right around the pupil..where you can totally tell my eye color is green
I think it just depends on what color your eyes are naturally
:D I personally love them

And The second green eye pic with the square is just me squaring the FL that's on the green contact. Ignore it.

This happens with a lot of colored contacts if you're in brighter light. Not much you can do about as your real eyes are always going to have smaller or larger pupils depending on the brightness whereas contacts are never going to change.

>>1435214
With flash on, aimed at your eyes, yep...pupils are gonna get really small, thus making a ring where the contacts are larger.

A lot of lenses are just going to "tint" your eye color. If you have darker eyes, you're going to need something more opaque. Tip: Go see an eye doctor and I'm sure there's a pair you can try in the store (most doctors won't even sell you a pair until you can put them in yourself--mine won't anyway so I can only assume this is standard) plus you need a prescription of some sort to order online even if they're non-prescription lenses.

I bought some G&G korean lenses with the large iris, but I've yet to be able to wear them. I had lasik and the doc won't let me wear contacts yet so not sure how they look.

I almost bought freshlook due to the false advertising. The colors aren't nearly that bright and they look totally fake. I highly recommend the colormax contacts from Cosplaylab, esp if you have dark eyes. The freshlook dimensions contacts are for tinting people's light eyes.

The only color contacts I've ever used were Turquoise freshlook colorblends, and they worked pretty well for me.
I have dark brown eyes, and while the color wasn't as vibrant as OP picture I think they did their job, Pic related
But, as I have said, I have no other experience with color contacts so I can't really compare

I wear 2/3 of the contacts from that line and as you can see, there is very little difference in the colours as they are more like a tint then anything. The sea Green looked almost the same as the aqua on me, so I didn't bother with them or I would own them too since they are the most natural colour change in contacts that I have had and in person they are noticible as contacts.

The only real time they look that bright is if you have a camera 3 feet away from you with the flash on and you have hella light coloured eyes like mine defeating the purpose of wearing them for a costume yes?
