How to Choose the Right Colour Contact Lenses for Your Skin Tone (Nigeria Edition)

Choosing the perfect colour contact lenses can transform your entire look — enhancing your confidence, your style, and even your personality. But with so many colours available, how do you pick the one that truly flatters your Nigerian skin tone?

Whether you want a bold, striking look for nights out in Lagos or a subtle natural glow for everyday wear, this guide will help you find the right match — and show why Venus coloured contact lenses are fast becoming Nigeria’s go-to choice.


Step 1: Understand Your Skin Undertone

Before picking any lens colour, the first step is knowing your undertone — the subtle hue beneath your skin’s surface that affects how colours appear on you.

Here’s a simple way to check:

  • Warm undertone: Your veins look greenish, gold jewellery suits you best, and your skin has a yellow, golden, or peach tint.

  • Cool undertone: Your veins look blue/purple, silver jewellery looks better, and your skin has a rosy or bluish tint.

  • Neutral undertone: A mix of both — you can wear both gold and silver easily.

In Nigeria, many people have warm or neutral undertones, which open a world of lens colours that pop naturally in sunlight.

 

Step 2: Choose Lens Colours That Complement Your Tone

Here’s how to find your perfect Venus lens shade based on your skin tone and undertone.

For Deep or Ebony Skin

  • Best colours: Honey brown, hazel, amethyst, grey, and emerald green.

  • Why: These tones bring contrast and brightness without looking artificial.

  • Try: Venus “Amber Glow” or Venus “Mystic Grey” for natural warmth with a high-end finish.

For Medium or Olive Skin

  • Best colours: Hazel, caramel brown, olive green, and ocean blue.

  • Why: These balance rich undertones and enhance golden hues beautifully.

  • Try: Venus “Aqua Jade” or Venus “Sahara Brown.”

For Light or Fair Skin

  • Best colours: Soft blue, turquoise, violet, and grey.

  • Why: Lighter lenses bring dimension and give a striking, model-ready edge.

  • Try: Venus “Pearl Blue” or Venus “Icy Grey.”


Step 3: Consider Nigeria’s Lighting & Climate

The Nigerian sun plays a huge role in how your lens colour appears.
Natural daylight enhances warm hues like hazel and amber, while indoor lighting can intensify greys or greens.

💡 Pro tip: Venus yearly lenses are crafted for high-oxygen breathability, perfect for Nigeria’s humid climate. That means you get lasting comfort and bright, consistent colour all day — even under Lagos heat.


Step 4: Match Lens Colour with Your Lifestyle

  • For professionals or students: Choose soft natural tones like brown, hazel, or grey.

  • For content creators or influencers: Experiment with aqua, violet, or green for photoshoots or videos.

  • For weddings or events: Go bold — Amethyst or Champagne Honey makes your eyes sparkle in close-ups.

Venus lenses are yearly, so you can switch between styles without worrying about constant replacements — a smart investment for consistent style.


Step 5: Care for Your Lenses Like Luxury

Even the most beautiful lenses lose their magic if not cared for properly.
Always use a trusted lens solution and a hygienic storage kit — like the Venus Luxury Lens Storage Case (Glitter Edition) — to keep your lenses clean, hydrated, and safe.

✨ This ensures your yearly Venus lenses stay as clear and comfortable as day one.


Step 6: Shop Smart – Buy Authentic in Nigeria

Avoid cheap imitations that can irritate your eyes. Always shop from official Nigerian distributors or directly from the Venus Lenses Store.

Look for:

  • Halal-certified, safe lens materials

  • Proper packaging and sealing

  • Nationwide delivery in Nigeria

  • NGN pricing and local support
