Wedding and party season is here, and your outfit, makeup and jewellery are all planned. But have you thought about your eyes? The right pair of coloured contact lenses can tie your whole look together, make your eye makeup stand out and look beautiful in every photo. Here is a simple guide to matching your Grace Lenses shade to your outfit colour.
Black, silver and grey outfits: Smokey Grey
A black abaya, a silver sequin gown or a grey satin dress all look stunning with Smokey Grey. The cool grey picks up silver jewellery and crystal details and gives a polished, elegant finish.
Makeup idea: a soft charcoal smoky eye, sharp black liner, lots of lashes and a rosy nude lip. Finish with silver or diamond earrings.
Gold, beige, champagne and nude: Latte Brown
If your outfit is gold, champagne, beige, blush or cream, choose Latte Brown. Its warm honey tone glows next to gold embroidery and warm fabrics, and it looks natural enough to wear all night without feeling overdone.
Makeup idea: golden-bronze eyeshadow, warm highlighter on the cheekbones and a glossy nude or caramel lip. Perfect for engagement parties, henna nights and family events.
Emerald, olive, burgundy and earthy tones: Olive Green
Deep jewel tones love Olive Green. The golden undertones make an emerald, olive, burgundy or rust outfit look even richer and warmer.
Makeup idea: copper or bronze shimmer on the lids, a defined brow and a terracotta or berry lip. Gold jewellery completes the look.
Navy, royal blue, white and pastels: Midnight Blue
For a navy or royal blue dress, a crisp white outfit or soft pastels, Midnight Blue adds a deep, striking colour that stands out beautifully in evening photos.
Makeup idea: a dark smoky eye with a hint of navy liner on the lower lash line, full lashes and a soft pink nude lip so the eyes stay the focus.

Tips for a long event
Put your lenses in before you start your eye makeup, and take them out before you remove it. Keep a small bottle of lens solution and your lens case in your bag (every Grace pair comes with free solution). If your eyes feel dry or uncomfortable, take your lenses out. Never sleep in them.
