Here’s my take on this…

If i wanted to change my eye color i would probably go with the purple only because NO ONE has purple eyes. It’d make for a conversation starter (if she noticed). If you go with blue contacts or green and she finds out you don’t really have those color eyes your going to have to explain why you don’t like your eye color. With the purple… it’s obvious you wanted to change the colors to be “Excentric”…

This is just my view tho… i’ve got those bright ass blue eyes LMAO… they got me through school 🙂

That’s what I do…I have colored contacts that I wear once in a while just for fun, and I got them in different funky colors: purple, light grey (almost white), and a gold-ish amber. My eyes are naturally blue, so people really notice when I’m wearing the colored ones LOL. It’s definitely a conversation starter!! 😃

Ok…

Well, you know how in the first one you had your head SLIGHTLY tilted and it made for some SLIGHTLY odd looking photos.

Well, in this one - you had a VERY tilted head that was nowhere near profile…

I started with the amethyst - but was too scared to carry on with the green 😛

:S Sorry.

I could have just changed the hues and kept the image the same - but that might have distorted what it really looked like.

You can imagine that as thin as the amethyst face was - the wider the green face was. I’m just glad I started on the amethyst 😛

Anyway, wishing you the best with whichever one you want. (It might help to cover up the rest of the face with your hand and look at the eyes - as they look quite ok and you can get a feel for them a bit better)

P.S. Your avatar does not do you justice - you look better in the photos (the ones you submitted - not the ones I screwed up).

Haha, thanks a lot man. I commend you for your efforts in helping me out and trying your best. That is all I can ask. Thanks so much for your help in this matter. 😃

I didn’t vote because I like your natural eye color. I never did get why people would want to change their eye color. Eyes are windows to the soul just watch a persons eyes as they go though different emotions or as they die for that matter and you can clearly see this. (no don’t kill anyone LOL) I held my grandmothers hand as she died and she was looking right at me and her eyes changed drastically as if a light went out.

I wanna gaze into a persons eyes not some weird colored version.

No offence, I don’t judge those who do wear them but I do tease my niece a bit because she has them in all colors of the rainbow. Course being me and rather “different” then others she has plenty to retaliate with so are even LOL

If I had to choose I would pick green.

Ummm, you did not share a good pic with your _natural_ color, or at least not one that I have seen.

Tisha has a good point. You should have made “don’t get any” a choice in your poll.

Instead of blowing $265 on something you probably don’t even need, invest in something while the market is down, then watch it grow later. Or just send it to me, and I’ll invest it 🙂

They are brown but my point is no matter the color your eyes your natural color is the one I like.

The eyes are the most direct contact we make with people and they express our feelings most sincerely.

I think you look really good with the green. It gives you the dark and handsome Mediterranean look with sexy green eyes. I like brown eyes too but the green really looks best on you. It also makes you look warm and like a guy I would go up to and talk to. It looks the most natural to me.

Thanks a lot for your comment Tisha. You are always helpful. 😃 The thing is that I think my natural eye color is pretty boring and doesn’t really stand out. Whenever I am in the restroom and stare closely at my eyes, it has a light contrast to it, and is light brown or golden brown in color which is actually ok. If I am anywhere else without the light shining directly on my eyes, the color is more of a medium to dark brown which I don’t really like much.

Well I do have a really good health insurance under my parents, so I would only end up paying about $80-85 for a year’s supply of colored contacts as opposed to $15 for a year’s supply of clear contacts. I guess I can take a picture of my natural eye color later today and post it on here. Then I can edit my poll if that’s possible lol. Sorry, I should’ve thought about that earlier. :o Good point SK.

To hell with it… Get the purple ones… dress flashy… hit the club… you’ll be good to go LOL 😃

Anything short of that… and i agree w/ tisha. I wouldn’t change my color on a daily basis… just for the occasional night out.

Thanks a lot for your comment as well Vivica, and for everyone else’s comments and votes. Many people think I am either Italian, Greek, or Hispanic (hate when I get called Hispanic 😛), and it is fairly normal for people to think I am Meditteranean. 😃 I do agree that with my skin complexion (natural tan that I like on myself) I can pass off as being Italian or Greek.

Haha, you crack me up man. Some people have told me that I look like one of those X-Men characters or a superhero with those purplish eyes on. I do agree that it will stand out and I would look unique, but I don’t want to scare anyone off, especially if it looks like my eyes are glowing or something haha. Hmmm tough choice. I’ll check the polls now. 😃

Btw I do thank leafstamp for helping me out with all of the edited pics, but the amethyst (purple) pic that is doublesided with the awkward sized face is not what my face really looks like though lol. It’s always good for a nice laugh I guess. 😛

Hey, you also forgot to put categories for _two different colored eyes at the same time_!! You did model some like that, but we need to see _every single possible combination_!! So get busy with that camera 🙂

You did say you wanted to be different 😉

Well I am going to get 2 diff colors, but I highly doubt I will wear 2 different colors at once lol. I would be alternating the 2 colors whenever I wanted, but most likely every other day. Example: Green day 1, blue day 2, green day 3, blue day 4, etc etc. Having a different color in each eye would be freaky, as you can see from the earlier pics for demo purposes only lol. 😛

But, lets say you had a day where you just couldn’t decide…you could just wear one of each 😛

Ooh, and also, having two different colored eyes would get girls up close to you, because they’d have to get close when they wanted to make sure that they were really seeing what they think they are seeing. Then your pheros could sneak in to help make the kill 😉

Damn SK 😮, that’s genius! 😃 I will definately try that out and see what happens. 😉 I have never thought of it that way before. I’ll rep you again for that once I am able to. Seems I can’t at the time being.
