Without being partial to any particular brand of contact lens, Fresh Look makes the number one colored contact lens in the world. Most people who are wearing colored contacts are wearing this brand. It has the most flexibility in terms of the colors. I'm going to talk about colors for dark eyes and I'm going to point them out so you can, kind of, have an idea of, you know, what's available to you for those of you who have dark eyes. Amethyst is, obviously, going to be a purple contact so it's for somebody who wants to have their eyes stand out a little bit more. There's just a regular blue. It's just a deep blue that's going to show up on a dark eye. We have regular brown. Obviously, if you have brown eyes, more power to you if your interested, but this is just going to be your basic brown color, it's not going to offer you any enhancement. Gray contact lenses, again, it's kind of in the same vein as the amethyst. Gray is not a natural color, but it will stand out. Green. This is, again, green it's going to be kind of a deep green for the dark eyes. Honey is going to, kind of, lighten up a dark brown eye. It's going to be something that's going to give the eye a little bit more pop, as is the next one, pure hazel. A little bit darker than honey, again, trying to give the eye a little bit more pop with, probably, a little bit of a deeper color. True sapphire, a bright blue, OKay? So, this blue is really going to stand out more so than the blue that we saw before. Turquoise is a lighter blue. Again, not a very natural color but something that will stand out. The next four are called the Radiance Collection. Now these are very, going to be very unnatural shades, but somebody's whose maybe looking to have a little bit more fun, not worried about looking natural. We have Autumn, we have Eden, Moonlight, and Sunrise. And all those are going to be luminous, a contact lens that say you that you want to go for a night on the town, you know, at a club, those are going to be really fun contact lenses. And that's basically the collection for those of you who have dark eyes. Definitely see your Optician if you're interested.
