AIR OPTIX COLORS TRY ON & REVIEW FOR BROWN EYES AFTER LASIK
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2018
- Today's try on and review video is on Air Optix Colors contact lenses! I have four colors to share with you - honey, gemstone green, brilliant blue, and sterling silver - all on my dark brown eyes. I do one at a time so you can compare how opaque they are to cover the brown in my eyes!
These contacts do require a prescription (even if you are plano). Unfortunately they do not make these toric so if you have astigmatism this will not work for you. I got Lasik surgery last year which corrected my astigmatism so now I am able to wear colored contact lenses!

Has anyone tried this brand or another? I’m new to the world of colored contacts and would love to discover more brands!
Jennifer Chang yes I’ve been wearing this brand for years!!!! And I absolutely love them!!! I’ve tried other brands but this is by far the best
Oooh! Does it cloud your vision as well or is it just me?!
Jennifer Chang when I first put them in yea but after my eyes adjust they are good or if I fall asleep with them in they will be foggy in the morning.
Interesting I wish the cloudiness went away for me after a while!
Jennifer Chang maybe try a different solution I used bio true and I noticed it was always cloudy using that brand.
I love the grey and honey ones on you. Thank you for making this well lit, concise and informative video!
Awe thank you so much for watching! I’m so glad this was helpful!! 😍😍
I LOVE these contacts! You have done a GREAT job describing EVERYTHING! The "break-in period" is SO TRUE!
Thank you so much!!! I don’t wear these often so I feel like I’m constantly still in the “break in period” hahaha
Jennifer Chang I give it usually about a day or two for them to feel like nothing is there.
I’ve had lasik also and the only difference I’ve noticed really is my eyes are more dry than before. I’ve only worn sterling grey and SO many people would compliment my eyes and would say it looks very natural.
My eyes are naturally light hazel.
The grey is my favorite for sure! I’m with ya my eyes do get drier faster with contacts. I usually only wear these for a makeup tutorial or a night out here and there!
omg sterling grey is soooooo pretttyyyy!!!! definitely thinking about getting them as I have brown eyes too :))
Yesss I LOVE the gray ones!!
@@jenmakesup thanks for this video please do some more - grey looks AMAZING on you I'm gonna order these because I saw how great you wore them and I have brown eyes too!
Awe thank you so much!!! You are the sweetest! ❤️❤️
Cherry, I have dark brown eyes and wore the stirling grey...they make you look like you have natural blue eyes. I was even asked if they were my natural eyes.
My sister has naturally grey eyes, she checks "blue" because that's the closest option. We look more alike when I wear the sterling grey over my brown eyes; they match her natural color exactly. Well done, thank you for the informative video.
Whoa!! She must be super lucky having naturally gray eyes! I’m starting to like the sterling gray more and more, still not quite used to be blue ones hahaha. Thanks so much for watching!! ❤️
Damn, they look great on dark brown eyes! I wish they made toric lenses. I used to wear the Acuvue Define lens a couple years ago (mostly cus Chrissy Teigen was a partner), and they were a dark brown, but had a bigger iris, which made my eyes look bigger, but other people couldn't really see a difference. When I was a teenager, I had these crazy cool bright blue colored contacts, but they weren't the right size for my eye, so they were a little larger and I can't remember that brand, but I feel like they were also Acuvue.
Great job. I like the gemstone.
Thank you so much for this video. This is the best video i have seen. I'm trying to get my contacts and this video has narrowed down my choices
Thank you that means so much to me! I’m so glad it was helpful!
Blue looks gorgeous!
I wear the hazel color, the blurriness goes away after a few days after your eyes get used to the color. After about a week of wearing them I no longer got fuzzy or blurry vision on the edges
Oh that is good to know! I never wear mine for very long that’s probably why I think they’re fuzzy!
I just tried mine on and wow yes they feel super fuzzy and blurry but I guess it makes sense to wear them everyday so your eyes get used to them
Dude thank youuu!! I just got mines today and they are kinda fuzzy , was wondering this
I thought it was just me who saw blurry I was gonna throw them away thinking it was my eyes. But I have 20/20 vision
Definitely not just you! So hard to get used to them after not wearing them for a while!
Thank you soooo much for this great video 🙌🏻👏🏻😘❤️
Thank you for watching!! 😍
I’m wearing the blue ones right now, and I would like to try green next since it looks so good on you! I also have dark brown eyes. Thank you for this!
You’re so welcome! I love the green ones!
The sterling gray is sooo pretty on you!
Thank you it’s definitely one of my favorites!! It covers the brown so well!
thank you for making this video, it really helped with me finding the color I like most :)
Yay!! That’s great to hear!
You did a great job darlin. I’m looking for lenses too. Watching your video really helped. Subscriber❤
I got pair of air optix colors and I love them
Nice!! What color did you get?
Thanks for the review! I just had lasik too and will be able to wear colored contacts again after 20 years! Yay!! The last ones I wore back in the day were the Freshlook Colors. The Violet and Baby Blue really "popped" and covered my brown eyes well. I tried the Freshlook Colorblends when they came out too, but they were barely noticeable. I'm considering these and the Desio brand from Italy, which have great reviews. Those come in so many beautiful colors. I'm going to ask my eye doctor if he recommends them.
Yes that sounds amazing!! I’ve heard great things about the desio brand. You’ll love your new eyes after lasik!
@@jenmakesup I tried Deseo and they are great !!! The problem is The company is not good though!! if you receive a defective contact they will never replace it. And most of there contacts are defective unfortunately
The grey is pretty on you. I have naturally grey eyes but usually wear Desio lenses Cherry Coffee contacts.
Thank you so much! I’ve heard great things about Desio lenses
The grey is gorgeous on you!!!
Thank you I absolutely love them!!
I been use freshgo for years
Looks good to you the last u wear contact lens 😊💓
Yes there comfortable there almost realistic they even have some for prescription
That’s awesome! Do you know if you have to have a prescription to order them? Or can anyone just go and order them without prescriptions?
I'm gonna get this I'm excited
Awesome!! Thanks for watching!
im trying to decide between trying gemstone green and sterling silver bc i have dark brown eyes too and i was hoping this would help me figure it out but you look so great in both and im SO indecisive ... AAAAAAHHHHH
Awe!!! The green is still my fave but the silver is nice too! 😍
Jennifer Chang i think i’m going to try the silver first and then the green. thanks so much for this video! it was super informative and fun to watch :)
The normal-Grey ones are the most sold version. Try those out.
I really liked the light brown ones, and the green ones looked really nice on you! 😊
Thank you! Those are def my faves too 😍
I’m new to these myself! I have a very light script but they let me go home with the trial pair that aren’t scripted and I’m not sure if it’s because I’m new to contacts but there’s a haze and bluriness when I wear these. My eyes aren’t bad at all so I feel like this shouldn’t happen? How long does it take eyes to adjust to these usually?
ok so what are the most comfortable color contact lenses ?
Sterling grey is really pretty. Thinking of trying blue next! 👀
Yesss I absolutely love the gray!
Sterling gray looks so good on you.
Thank you!!! It certainly is my favorite!
I just picked up the Brilliant Blue and my eyes are just about the same color as yours, this was a HUGE boost for me. Thank you! Super stoked to get them haha
Omggg YAY! Hope you love them when you get them!
Did you like the color on you? I just ordered the brilliant blue and I'm waiting to try them!! 😍
hey love, just got lasik yesterday and plan on purchasing colored contacts down the line when my eyes are fully healed. If you're ever looking for another brand, I heard desio lenses are fantastic. they have Plano ones as well as prescription and toric for those with astigmatism! :) not too mention a huge variety of colors!
Yes I’ve heard great things about desio, I should try them!! Hope you’re recovering well with LASIK!
Can you try desio contact lenses ?
I used to wear this brand back when I was in high school, my favourite was the sterling grey one, I wasn't a huge fan of these contacts since they dried up in the middle of the day so I would have to bring my solution and reapply it. I've tried multiple colours from this brand and the only shades I liked were- sterling grey, and pure hazel. Rest of the other colours look super artificial to me.
I think the sterling grey and brilliant blue ones look super fake on me - especially those blue ones! Every time I put them in I laugh at myself and take them out LOL. They do feel a little drying yeah, that’s strange that they don’t seem to have gotten better since you first wore them in high school 😕
The sterling grey looks best on you
Thanks for the review . I have been using them for the last month and for work I just can’t wear them . The monitor looks so bleary. Have you find ones ever since that are comfortable?
Honestly all colored contacts are a little fuzzy for me! Comfortable to wear but vision isn’t 100% :/
Hello! I see this is an old video but thought to comment (: the honey looks sooo pretty on you and the gray one too. I was a bit confused by what you had said about Toric and Astigmatism lenses. People with astigmatism can wear colored contacts or no?
For some reason my trial contacts with no prescription had that cloudy issue that was so annoying, but once I got my prescription with these lenses I didn’t have this issue AT ALL. I think it has to do with them being made to fit your eye. I would tell anyone not to be dissuaded by the cloudiness if you have the trial pack.
That’s super interesting!!! Good to know! I don’t have a prescription though, since I’ve had LASIK, so I’m not sure how that would affect it 🤔
I use to have some in prescription but they still got cloudy :/
Darn! I think it is probably due to some people having larger pupils than others!
You look really beautiful with the blue lenses, I mean you look beautiful with all of them, but the blue ones look really natural in you
Awe thank you so much! I’ve grown to like them more and more 😍
Green is my favorite
Mine too! I think the others are nice but not as “natural” or believeable as the green!
can you try turquoise please ?
Omg im going for this color
Woohoo!
Your eyeshadow is beautiful too
Awe thank you!!
My eyes are green at sun light, and i tried the Air optix gemstone green...they were a bit more green than my eyes collor, but the thing is now my eyes are THE SAME collor like the lenses, Can lenses change the collor of your eyes?
I don’t think so, but consult with your optometrist to be safe!
I just got the gemstone green. They look good on u!
Thank you!! I hope you love yours too!
The best is CL siesta color contacts
Oooh I’ve never heard of that brand!
Your nails are really pretty
Thank you so much!!
I found the Icy Gray by FreshGo to look very very realistic, so I’ve been told after wearing them.
That’s awesome! Are they comfortable?
How would you compare the gemstone green to the green lens?
I haven’t tried any other colors from this brand besides for the ones shown here!
The green shows up good on your eyes. The gemstone green didn’t do much for my brown eyes. I have tried the sterling gray and they looked great and more natural. My go to is brilliant blue because I like the vibrant pop of blue color. They just came out with turquoise,amethyst, and few other colors. Oh btw...it takes a few days for your eyes to adjust properly with colors. I’ve been wearing color contacts for 10 plus years. I love them!
Yes the brilliant blue does pop the most! Green is probably my favorite from these. I’ll have to look at the new colors! Does the fuzziness/cloudiness go away after a few days?
Yes. Sometimes when I put a new pair in, it’s a little cloudy and like a tint in my vision. It doesn’t last long for me though especially since I’ve been wearing them for so long. I ordered turquoise! Can’t wait to try them.
That’s super good to know so I should be wearing them more often!!! 😍😍
Soooo pretty.
Awe thank you so much my dear!
Thanks for the review! I already wanted the grey but you've just confirmed how good they'll look. (As a fellow Asian lol)
YES you’ll have to let me know if you end up loving them, the gray is the best!
@@jenmakesup ohh and i definitely ended up loving them :D ive been wearing them for about a week all day now haha, even though i bought them just for fun/special occasions 😂
YAY!! Glad they’re comfy enough to wear all day, if you paid for them you might as well get the most wears out of them right?! Every day is a special occasion ❤️
@@mendoxei why did you assume she was Asian?
my eyes are hazel :) i was thinking of going for green to enhance my natural color
Yesss that sounds so pretty!
I was looking for the most comfortable, natural, and without this gray cloud in the sides. I bought ones that makes my whole vision kinda grayish
Ooooh they shouldn’t be making your whole vision grayish! For me just outer sides but it doesn’t really bother me
You can get them without prescription where I am in the UK yeaaah!
Niceeee yeah crazy how it’s different depending on the country!
thanks for the review, plz do an update if you have found a better option for colored contacts.
There are no better options. Air optix are the most breathable on the market.
Hi Jennifer! I'm getting Lasik in a month and was wondering how long you waited before being allowed to wear contacts? Thanks! :)
At least one full year (your eye doctor should give you the “OK” before wearing any contacts!)
@@jenmakesup Oh okay, thanks! I've been wondering about this for a while. Glad I saw your video! 💖
I like the green ones best. Do you recommend daily or monthly?
I’ve only ever had experience with monthly contacts so I’m bias! I think it depends on if you want to manage contact cases and solution!
How long did you wait after LASIK before wearing colored contacts? Thanks 😊
I waited a whole year and then asked my eye doctor for his opinion before wearing them! I think it depends on how fast people heal and what type of surgery so it’s always best to get approval from your eye doctor first before wearing any contacts again!
Thanks love. You look great in them
I tried a color contact brand there called freshgo
Did you like it? Was it comfortable?!
I got the subtle blue and I have dark brown eyes, is it very obvious if you look into the persons eyes that they’re wearing contacts?
I think it depends on the angle you’re looking, how close you are and what the lighting is! It’s not very noticeable unless you’re close - from further away it kind of looks like “something is different but I can’t figure out what” haha. Do you like the subtle blue ones?!
i only tried them on at the optometrist like once, i'm getting them in a week, but yea i think i liked them. the only thing i'm worried is if they're like super unrealistic since my eyes are almost black and its obvious or something, that's why i got the subtle ones, those vibrant blues apparently look very fake lol.
The vibrant blue does look very fake haha I would say those are the most obvious! I hope the subtle blue ones work out better for you!
Best video yet. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Where did you purchase? I was thinking 1800 contacts but they’re kinda pricey 31 for a box and you need to buy a box for each eye 🥴 two lenses in a box. Are these monthly?
I actually got these as samples from the optometrist and didn’t end up ordering any after so I’m not sure the price point, but $31/box doesn’t seem unreasonable honestly because you get 6! If your prescription is the same between both eyes you can just get one box!
What exactly came with the lenses themselves like in the packaging
Just the lens! I got these as samples so they didn’t come in full boxes
Wait how long can you wear these for? Like do they go bad?
Yes all contacts expire! Usually they are one month or two week disposable and I don’t remember which these are - but the package/your eye doctor would know!
Please tell me where I can buy Alcon air optix
Most eye doctors carry them or can help you order!
Which ones are your favorite
The green ones!! I love them
What's the time gap we should keep after lasik to wear colour contact lenses
That really is a decision you should make with your eye doctor! Mine said I was good after a year but everyone is different depending on how your eyes heal and how your surgery goes!
question do they come in 6 pairs or 6 single contacts make 3 pairs and how many times can u use thesm in a row
Each box has 6 lenses so if your prescription is the same then it’s 3 pairs! If they’re different you’ll have to order one box per eye!
As for how many times in a row... usually a month but it depends on how often you’re wearing them and if they make you feel uncomfortable! I always throw mine out early if they’re feeling uncomfortable
@@jenmakesup thank you so much for replying, your video was helpfull to because i have dark brown eyes and need perscription lenses ,the info in your reply is super helpful too thank you
I love the green and blue. Who cares if they look natural or not? I wear the Brilliant Blue, get lots of compliments on them. Btw I have naturally grey eyes.
That’s so awesome! I think it was just me not being used to seeing myself in other colors hahaha these were the first colored lenses I ever tried!
for me both blues, and brilliant and blue, look natural. am i crazy :)
Not crazy! Natural is different for everyone!
@@jenmakesup hehe. Can you tell me, for you, which brand has the most natural colors (lenses) is it air optix?
I think air optix is one of the most natural colors because the iris isn’t enlarged! Yes!
I like the grey and blue on you. Do you know of colored contacts you can wear after lasik?
My eye doctor says I’m cleared for all contacts now after lasik! I think it can depend on your Lasik results and how your eyes have healed. Best to talk to an eye doctor first before wearing contacts after Lasik!
I gave -4 astigmatism does the lens bother,?
It didn’t bother me but I would consult with an optometrist if you’re unsure! My astigmatism was corrected via lasik
Sterling grey is the only one that would actually lighten my dark brown eyes lol- just bought! Thanks for the helpful show and tell!
They’re my FAVORITE!!
Hi Jennifer, is there a coloured contact lens one can for the wear everyday and does not come with that cloudy effect? Thanks ❤️
So I actually don’t know if the cloudy effect is a problem that I experience (and most people don’t) or if it’s an everyone problem - I got a lot of comments saying that it goes away when your brain gets used to it (like how your brain always sees your nose but ignores it!)
@@jenmakesup Thank you. Every time I try coloured contacts I experience the exact same things. In a way, at least now I know I am not the only one. 🙈✌🏼💕
Haha yesss there’s two of us!
my sister's eyes are naturally exactly that grey color 0.0
So jealous!! That’s awesome!
Same with my great-grandfather
i think it is the ugliest eye color😂
Beautifull eyes
Thank you!
U can order with and without prescription mine is -5.50
That’s cool I’ll have to check them out!!
I have astigmatism and I just got my prescription for the first time with my optometrist since it's my first time wearing contacts. We wanted color prescription contacts & so my optometrist gave me the air optix brand, but I just bought two boxes in different prescriptions. So I wanted to ask if a toric lense is really necessary?? thank you and wonderful video!
Thank you!! I think it depends on how bad your astigmatism is... if your optometrist thinks these will work then definitely try it!! 😍
not to be nosy, but how much did astigmatism ones run you? did you have to get them custom made and wait for a long time? I want some of these so bad but I have astigmatism.
Hi i just want to ask after you had your lasik how long before you can wear colored contacts?
For me I waited a year because that’s when I had my check up and my optometrist said it was okay. I think to be safe it’s best to check with an optometrist before wearing any colored contacts!
@@jenmakesup thank you maam!
You’re welcome!! Thanks for watching! 😍
So in one pack of lenses you get 3 pairs?
I believe they sell them in boxes of 6 individual lenses! These I got from my optometrist just to try so he gave me a pair of each. If you have a different prescription in each eye you’d have to get one box per eye, then you’d end up with 6 pairs!
My mom has grey eyes naturally. No other way to describe them. Never seen anyone else with grey eyes.
THATS MY PROBLEMISTHAT MY RIGHT EYE HAS TO BE TORIC SO COLOR CONTACTS ARE A NO GO FOR ME !! :(
I just ordered from a site that sells toric contact lenses but I’m waiting for them to come so I can make a review!! I think the industry is starting to make toric ones so you’ll be able to have color contacts soon!
@@jenmakesup OOOOO HUNNI !!!! I CANT WAIT FOR THAT VIDEO !!!! IM EXCITED !!! ITS SOOO HARD FOR ME TO SEE THE CLEAR LENSES IN M CASE BUT IF THEY WERE A COLORED LENS IT WOULD BE SOOO MUCH EASIER TO SEE !!
Haha!!! Yes it would!! And it’s always fun to change up your eye color once in a while! I hope I get these new lenses soon, I believe they are shipping from South Korea so it’s taking a while 😩
Have you noticed the cloudiness before lasik wearing contacts?
I’ve never worn colored contacts that fit correctly before lasik, only regular contacts! And regular contacts were not cloudy
Can you try solotica lenses? They are absolutely gorgeous on the eyes and are very natural :) I’d also like to see you review them because there are no lasik reviewers of colored lenses ❤️
Buy any color from the solotica hidrocor collection. they look the best and most natural due to the transparent limbal ring. Get them from the website Lens.me they give the best service and you get them in 3 days or less sometimes.
I want to know how you do with them because im a year out with lasik and i wore them before and they were perfect with prescription and i want to buy them Plano now.
I just want to see how they feel for you.
My best friend from my early 20's had naturally grey eyes. It was the only time I ever saw someone with grey eyes. They were beautiful, I envied him, the girls fell at his feet. I tried many of the AIr Optic colours-NONE of them showed up on my naturally dark brown eyes. Honey was the only one that showed a but..gave my eyes a soft glow but no real colour change. In my 20's, it was easy to find opaque colour changing lenses, I seem to be out of luck now if I want them. So disappointed. Back in my 20's, I wore grey, green, blue, aqua and turquoise. They looked great...but I don't remember the brand.
I got gemstone green
Pretty!! I love that color!
Hi, this contact lenses are moire? Please answer:)
Can you elaborate on your question?
I want black ring in the Air Optix contact lenses, like Solotica lenses. like moire contact lenses. I don’t know how ı can explain:/ thanks anyway❤️
I don’t think the air optix ones come with the black rings :/ you’d have to try a different brand probably!
The sterling grey look more fake on you. I have an uncle with natural grey eyes. Nice too!
2:22 Video starts here.
You are a very articulate, beautiful woman. The only thing is with so many multiethnic children of today, natural looking is becoming obsolete.
What is multiethnic?
I’m sorry to say but these are very fake n not color blending at all which is bad
Personal preference, I don’t like mine to blend too much because I want it to stand out! But I know this brand isn’t for everyone!
y'all jealous of what?grey eyes are so cold and ugly :/ brown eyes may be common but i find them more cute and charming
It’s all personal preference!
Brown eyes yes cute and charming... definitely grayish/blue if you wanna be more sexy or alluring.
