Have you ever wanted to change your light eyes to compliment your date night dark attire? Ever wished to change your dark eyes to a beautiful blue to go with the sky for your vacation pictures? Chances are, if you’re reading this, you probably already have an idea about what coloured contacts are. You’re either curious about the idea of having different coloured eyes every other day or you are already aware of the impact they have on the fashion industry and you’re simply looking for ways to up your contacts game. Either way, SWATI Cosmetics has got your back.
Gone are the days when contact lenses were only used as replacements for eyeglasses. With the popularization of wearing coloured contacts by Hollywood celebrities and Instagram influencers, contacts are now as desirable as ever. Like all forms of beauty and makeup, they can easily be used as a way of self-expression. You’ll find people in all parts of the world who use contacts, and for good measure, they’re quick, they’re easy, and they are so realistic, they look exactly like your own eye.
Speaking of looking extremely realistic, it is believed that the closer one gets to natural beauty, the better one look. In today’s day and age, the beauty community which makes up the makeup industry has become so advanced with their executions of products that the production of hyper-realistic contact lenses is already underway. These realistic lenses are said to shape your pupil completely and alter the already existing colour of your eye in a very smooth, non-textured and most importantly, natural way.
Don’t take my word for it. Here’s a list of my favourite celebrities and influencers rocking coloured contacts on and off the red carpet to help guide you in the magical world of coloured contacts.
1. Jennifer Anniston
The beloved FRIENDS star and movie actress has been known to be an avid wearer of coloured contacts. She is believed to change up her contacts colours from her natural eye colour, blue to a striking green, depending on how light her hair is at the moment. What a versatile choice!

3. Selena Gomez

4. Orlando Bloom
This male actor best known for his role as Legolas in the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies changed contact lenses throughout the filming of these movies. Because Bloom played an Elf in the series, the colours of these contacts depended on the moods his character was in; light blue when the Elf was in a better mood and dark when Legolas felt anger and fear.

7. Nicki Minaj
This rapper needs no introduction! Called the queen of rap (and for good measure) by several media outlets, she is one of the highest-paid female artists of our generation. Minaj is not one to hold back when it comes to her music videos either. Always challenging the norms, Minaj’s music videos are pushing the boundaries one by one. You can credit this to her ever-changing style which, of course, include her contact lenses. She’s worn grey contacts in several music videos and who can blame her? She looks gorgeous every time!

8. Lady Gaga
Never afraid to take fashion to its next level, Lady Gaga is no stranger to contact lenses. She’s worn them to go with her outfits and even to enlarge the size of her eyes! In her ‘Bad Romance’ Gaga is seen with her big, round, doe eyes. She often experiments with shades of green, lighter for day outfits and deeper towards evening red carpet looks.

9. Robert Pattinson
The teenage crush of every millennial woman! While portraying a 117-year-old vampire, this actor had to wear reddish brown coloured contact lenses during the filming of Twilight from start to finish.

10. Paris Hilton
Everyone’s favourite reality star, Paris Hilton is rarely ever seen without looking glamorous. Apart from this, she is reported to have been rarely seen with her natural eye colour. People speculate that because she is such an avid contact lens consumer, there’s an actual chance most people don’t know that her actual eye colour is a soft brown and not her signature blue! Talk about commitment!

11. Huda Kattan
