Gentle Blue Contact Lenses

Gentle Blue does what the name says. It's a soft, friendly blue that brightens your face without looking like you're in costume, and it still has enough colour to show up on dark eyes.

We like these for the days you want a change but don't want to explain it to everyone at work. In daylight the blue looks fresh and light. Indoors it goes calmer and a little more grey-blue, which is lovely with candlelight or a dim restaurant.

They're 14.5mm, so a touch bigger than your own iris, and the 42% water content is at the softer end of our range. If your eyes tend to feel a bit dry by the evening, that extra moisture helps.

How they wear

• On brown eyes: a clear, gentle blue. On light eyes: brighter and cooler.
• Size: 14.5mm adds a little definition, handy for photos.
• Styling: nude lips and soft brown liner keep the whole look easy going.
• Care: fresh solution every time, never tap water, and never sleep in them.

Gentle Blue contact lenses are £12.99 a pair, or mix them with any other colour for 2 for £22.99. They last a year when you look after them properly.
