How to apply
Inserting your contact lenses - Before you insert your lenses, make sure your hands are washed a dried thoroughly. We always reccomend applying your lenses BEFORE your makeup. Place the contact lense onto the tip of your index finger ensuring that it has a natural bowl like shape facing upwards, the curvature of the lense should look as if it is going to cup the shape of your eye. Gently hold your upper lid open with your other index finger, at the same time hold your lower lid open with the middle finger. Looking straight at your eye in the mirror, slowly and gently place the accessory on your eye. Carefully release your eyelids and blink. You can gently massage your eyelid to centre the accessory. When you are sure that it is correctly inserted, repeat the procedure for the opposite eye.
Removing your contact lenses - Make sure your hand are washed and dried thoroughly. Look upwards and hold down the lower lid with a finger from any hand. Gently pinch the contact lense from your eye, taking care not to pinch too hard. Once you have sucessfully removed the first contact lense, repeat for the other eye.
There are a few key tips that we have for safe wear of cosmetic coloured contact lenses. Make sure you remember to remove your coloured lenses at the end of the night and ALWAYS remove before going to sleep. To avoid any irritation you must not exceed the reccomended time period of wear as labelled on your lenses. Never wear or try to apply a contact lense if it appears broken or split in any way. Never share your lenses, they're for you only! Avoid contact with any aerosols or hair sprays and take care not to let makeup or cosmetics touch your lenses. If your eyes feel uncomfortable or irritated whilst wearing the lenses, remove them immediately to avoid any further discomfort. If you experience any discomfort or pain from wearing coloured contact lenses, seek the help from a qualified Eye Care Practitioner
