I was SO excited to get a pair of pink lenses. I'm really obsessed with bunnies and bunny-like looks. This was mainly for a lolita coordinate I had planned. I wanted a lense with a 14.5-15.0 diameter and the description of these lenses were just that.
The Super Nudy Pink lenses are at a 14.5 milimeter diameter range which are perfect for giving you a dolly eyed look. In terms of comfort they're not nearly as comfortable as the preview QT lenses I reviewed but they're not as difficult as my always drying (but worth it) Princess Mimi series.
However, what I was hoping for was for this contact lense to be super bright and vibrant. I kept seeing stock photos and it looks so 'kira-kira' and so pretty. But all the stock photos I saw were of girls who had brown eyes. This made it especially difficult because I did want a sparkling type of pink look that I've seen even a couple of my own friends pull off. These made it just look like I had pink-flecks in my eyes and not a full out color. Which wasn't exactly what I was aiming for.
It's not that this circle lense is bad and if I take pictures close up like the one I have above, you kind of can see the color. However I do feel like this isn't the circle lense for someone who wants a color change and a diameter change in their eyes IF you have light colored eyes like myself. It's such a huge challenge finding circle lenses for myself and I had go through a lot of trial and error to find the perfect pair that gives my the best of both worlds like they do for my darker eyed friends.
A lot of people tell me I'm lucky that I have green eyes because the contacts will show up brighter. Yes and no. These lenses for instance are good if you have a dark contrast. Then the pink shows up hella. Same with the Princess Mimis. They work on a darker background. Another thing I struggle with when it comes to circle lenses if not being able to fake a darker larger pupil like someone with brown eyes can. When I wear circle lenses there's a huge keyhole of green space occasionally that makes choosing a circle lense hard because I do have to take all these factors into consideration before making a circle lense choice. You circle lense wearers with darker eyes have it much easier actually!
I've really been experimenting and liking the whole 'red' hued make up look. I've seen it around a lot and while this is probably more fall appropriate I think it works for edgy rock looks such as this one. No it's not heavy like Amihamu's staple rock gyaru make up but that's why I went with something SakuRina inspired instead since her make up is just a little lighter in terms of the genre.
A good portion of the color palette for this look is a sparkling nude base, red on the edge that have been taupered out, and for the crease transition color I used a truffle brown. Highlight wise I used a rose gold highlight with flecks of gold glitter. I used a pink blush on the apples of my cheeks and a gradiented rose colored contour for a slightly darker look. To pull the look in a darker rougher direction I rocked a vamp black to red ombre lip to really have this look scream 'rock gal'.
I think it suited the lenses nicely. It's a very 'red' look but despite the warmness it's still cool toned in certain senses. It was definitely an experimental look!
