I wear contacts since one month (everybody was telling me to because they couldn't see my make-up w/ my glasses on!) and I put my lenses on first. sometimes my lensen won't go in, and I have tears all around my eyes, and that would ruin my make-up.
what do you guys think about colored lenses?
IMO they make your eyes look dead, I allways find them look so fake!

I'm legally blind without my contacts so I have to put mine in first lol! but even if I wasn't, for me it's better to have the contacts in already. I had to take mine out once to clean them and when I tried to put them back in, I messed up my liner, shadow, undereye concealer etc. by holding my eyes open to put them in! I guess it's just a matter of personal preference, though

I put mine in first, then do my makeup. Every once in a while I'll forget to put them in, and will have to do it afterwards, but it screws up my liner and mascara.

I friggin hate colored contacts. I'm sorry if I offend anybody, but I really think they are horrible and tacky 90% of the time. I find mostly people with brown eyes get colored contacts (blue/gree/purple/whatever) and I never understand why. I would LOVE to have brown eyes. I have naturally blue/green eyes, and blue/green shadow just looks retarded on me. maybe I should get brown contacts

yea, i cant do my mu without my contacts in- i havta wear glasses when i'm not wearing contacts, so imagine trying to do e/s and amscara, etc, with glasses?! also, make sure that you keep your eyes moist (like with rewetting drops, etc.) because otehrwise, your eyes will get too dry and eventually either burn or tear- both of which ruins mu!

as preference, I put them in *when I actually do wear them* before makeup.
I agree about the tacky colored ones! I can tell 90% of the time when some one wears contacts because of the weird line around the eyes. Unless it looks natural, it isn't really enhancing.

I think sometimes people with brown eyes always want a different color because we are considered dull eyed...Brown hair for the longest was that way too, but now people are actually starting to go darker colors with lowlights & highlights. For the most part, Ive noticed some people with straight hair want it curly, with curly hair want it straight, brown eyes want blue or green, blue eyes want brown..I dont know I just know I would have killed for curly hair when I was younger, and my bestfriend had curly hair and used to iron it cause she wanted straight hair so bad..Id kill for green eyes, but I wont wear fake colors :\

I dont think brown eyes and brown hair is dull at all, I honestly find that look so sexy and mysterious! I have dark blonde hair, and blue/green eyes naturally and I find that look dull, partly because its such a cliche look and everybody dyes their hair and wears contacts to look that way. I actually dye my hair darker but I guess me dying my hair brown is no different than somebody with brown eyes wearing blue contacts. Youre right about everybody wanting what they dont have

before definatelly, i notice when i try afterwards the contacts fall out since i get makeup in my eye and my fingertip touches my eye as well......it's just a big mess i rather avoid, so try and avoid getting the makeup in your eye while they are in, that's easier to get used to

I wear my glasses most of the time. I'm allergic to the plastic that the contact is made of (just found this out a couple of months ago). When I do wear contacts (only for special occasions) I put them in before I do my makeup.
I got a trial pair of Acuvue Advance, and I Love Them! Has anybody tried them?
