The Art of Looking Like a Celebrity
As you can see, this blog is all about “the art and the business of looking, dressing and smelling like a celebrity.” In the course of blogging, I’ve discovered that while most of us look up to celebrities for inspiration of one kind or the other, what probably draws some instantly is their eyes — their shape, depth and color.
According to a top plastic surgeon, when it comes to eyes, most women would want to have the eyes of Beyonce and Penelope Cruz and acquire their liquid pools of brown. Today, this — or any other color or shade — can be achieved rather effortlessly, thanks to the range of hues and colors available in contact lenses. If Britney Spears can change her peepers from brown to blue in a jiffy, so can you!
To some, the very word ‘contacts’ conjures up images of corrective lenses. Relax, you can still wear color contact lens and almost any prescription can be fitted with contacts and change your eye color to almost any shade of blue, green, brown, shades of black and even pink. And more than fashion, sometimes it’s just a matter of the confidence level you feel when you’re particular how your eyes look in any given situation — business or leisure.
When it comes to choosing contacts, of course it’s not just the color that you must take into consideration — you also need to weigh in the types, styles and the brand. For instance, Acuvue contact lenses, from Johnson & Johnson, offers contact lenses in plain, opaques, disposables, bifocals as well as their line of Acuvue 2 color enhancers and special contact lenses for astigmatism. What’s your choice going to be?
Disposables are ideal when you decide to change the color of your lenses on fly depending on the situation or want to surprise someone with that celebrity look! They also carry the lowest risk of infection, and ideal for traveling. Bifocals, as the name suggests, can be seen (pardon the pun!) as a solution when you have trouble reading at arm’s length, but can see distant objects clearly. The Acuvue Bifocal features five invisible generation concentric zones, which automatically adjust your sight to varying distances.
Then of course you have the color enhancers. Let’s say you have hazel eyes, but they’re not really as deep or big as those of Jennifer Garner’s. So what do you? You just go in for a color enhancer, which enriches the natural hue of your eyes without changing the color. And you have color tints. Freshlook colored contacts offer several lenses that create some terrific color tints, making your eyes not just brighter and more intense, but also keep them looking natural.
The fact that there are no fewer than 75 million contact lens wearers in the world today tells me that contacts are here to stay and increase in popularity with the improvement of technology and safety, as well as the development of new types of lenses that you can keep in your eyes for up to 30 days. And with each day, the line between the glamorous and the not-so-glamorous keeps getting thinner.
