Neo Shimmer in Aqua lens review


Another Contact lens review kindly sponsored by Eyecandylens.com as a review purpose :D

This is the same lens I am wearing in my last post~ I use the eyeshadows to match this lens♥


Shimmer Aqua (aka Beaucon)



Brand: NEO
Origin: South Korea
Water content: 45%
Diameter: 14.2 mm
Base Curve: 8.6
Power: plano, -0.50, -0.75, -1.00 to -5.00 (0.25 step), -5.50 to -8.00 (0.50 step)
Duration: 1 year disposable



My 2 cents~ :D

Ok so when I got this lens and saw how vibrant it was in the vials I was excited to wear this lens cause I LOVE aqua shade color lenses but to my disappointment is that the color were not so vibrant in my eyes it wasnt opaque enough for the beautiful aqua shade to show up against my dark brown eyes,, :( 
It looks pretty with a flash photos but in real life, in person this lens just looks dull and not so vibrant as you see here in the pictures,,

Color:
Looks greenish dark blue against my brown eyes not so vibrant and colorful in person, the tri color does blend the color well with my natural eye color. I think this lens will look true aqua for those who has natural light color eyes but not for dark colored eyes X3

Comfort:
I did find this lens to be comfortable after wearing it for a long period of time, slight drying but after 5+ hours but after applying some Rohto eyedrops it became comfortable again

 Enlargement:
Since this lens are 14.2mm there isnt much noticeable enlargement effect but more of a subtle and natural enlargement effect.



Overall:

I am not too fond of this lens, the actual lens on its own are beautiful aqua shade but once you wear it against dark color eyes it just becomes dull and not so vibrant and I like to wear color lenses that are vibrant and opaque cause I think a color contact should be vibrant but if you are looking for natural looking color contact that doesnt give off scary enlargements you will find this lens to be nice, also I think this lens are suited more for someone with naturally light colored eyes :)

Pro:
Comfortable
unique patterns and shade


Con:
not so vibrant and opaque
can be drying after a long period of wear

This lens will not be my go to aqua lens, not so fond it D;

Comfort: 7/10
color/vibrancy: 5/10
enlargements: 6/10

  21. I LOVE the depth of the colours here! :) I always wear brown or grey shades though I've bought a pink one I have yet to try! I'm too scared to venture out to brighter colours. Worried they won't look right on me! They look great on you though. You can wear EVERY colour!

  25. The makeup is gorgeous! But I think it is very difficult to get a vibrant aquaa to show up on dark eyes, I myself purchased a turquoise one but in the end I had the same result as you too T^T Oh well, at least it shows up in pictures! Thank you for the review!

  29. You're absolutely right. The color is beautiful but it loses a lot of vibrancy against darker eyes. Given that circle lenses are meant for darker eyes it seems kind of silly. Too bad!

  33. I don't know for sure how the lenses look in person, but I think maybe a more neutral makeup look would compliment and enhance the color and pattern of the lenses better ^__^)/ In pictures, at least, it looks a bit as if the makeup is trying to compete with the lenses rather than compliment and enhance them. I don't know.. just a suggestion : D They look lovely either way and I would definitely consider buying them. High water content? YES PLEASE >: D
