Hello Everyone ! I am staff Tasha, from olensglobal team! Glad to share a true real review on Russian Smoky!
A quick introduction of my eye (without wearing any contact).
-Upturned almond shape
-Choco dark brown pupil
-Medium size pupil (which suits 13.3mm contacts)
-Thick double eyelids (the first half of my eyeliners/shadow is always buried under my thick eyelids LOL)
Color: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Gray: I would say it’s the best of the best. The outer line really surprises me!
It’s seamless, perfectly merges into my pupil, superbly fits into my eye.
Pigmentation is a mixture of silver-gray & little icy blue. If you found Russian Velvet Blue ‘too blue’ then this one will be your Mr. Right.
Gray looks sharp on me and would recommended with a thicker eyeliner, and even better with a gray brow tinting to complete the look.
Definitely, the whole Russian Smoky series is not a ‘natural’ series for Asians, yet the blending is very smooth, easy to connect with your eye makeup.
Brown: Not a simple brown, closer to tawny plus oak color when you look closer.
As I have natural dark skin, brown seems to be the ‘safest’ color to try on.
To stand out, I’d recommend wearing earth-tone eye makeup, with a shimmery gold finish. Also a stunning match with blonde, yellowish-brown hair.
Olive: It’s an elf-looked olive tone. The pigmentation gradually blends from the gray circle line to a verdant olive and the gold-brown pattern around the pupil area.
The graduation enriches the look, creating a pronounced eye feature.
Olive / Green color is usually a new challenge, but why not for SS21?
Also good to wear with gold jewelry or emerald.
Wearing Occasion: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
‘Russian Smoky’ series is never a low-profile choice. Users may have to dress up a bit, and wear trendy eye makeup for better connection.
Suggest having smoky look for gray contacts, while shimmery for brown & olive.
Good to decorate with the metal necklace. Perhaps not a good choice if you’re seeking romantic or lovely vibes.
But definitely an eye-catching item in the coming summer!
Hi, I’m Staff Sarah! My eyes -Small size of pupils I usually wear G.DIA 12.9~13.0mm of contacts as daily contacts. They enlarge my eyes very naturally.
13.1~13.5mm is too big for my pupils. It enlarges my eye a lot. my eyes look like dog eyes…
-Dark brown eyes
Not black color, nor hazel color
-Eyes shapes
The long but thin shape of eyes
Color :★ ★ ★ ★ ★
*Gray- More like the blue color on my eyes. The edge line was a very light gray color.
The Gray edge line and tone-downed blue color well covered my original color.
Personally, gray color is the best color that matches my brown makeup.
*Brown- Too me, it's more like beige or grayish-brown color. Not hazel... not brown. Brown and hazel colors are added a little bit of yellow and reddish shades.
But the Russian Smoky has no yellow or reddish colors on it. It's really calm and well cover my original eye color. I love the way how Russian Smoky changes my mood!
Literally, it changes whole my look.
*Olive- It's emerald green on the outside of contacts and the middle is olive color.
It's very graded and natural. I love how the olive color merges with my original color.
Olive is also very calm but also very stylish! If you looking for natural enlarging contacts, I recommend Russian Smoky Olive to you!
Size: Nice fit (★ ★ ★ ★ ★)
G.DIA for Russian Smoky is 13.3mm. But It seems to fit into my eyes. Most 13.3mm seems too big for my eyes. But because of the calm and soft color with soft edge line, it looks good on my small pupils!
It really enlarged my eyes extremely naturally!
Comfort: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
It’s puscon contacts. It was moisture all day from my dry office. Russian Smoky is 1day contact lenses, and it was good that I don’t have to bring all my contact lens case and solution.
These are very light on my eyes. Not my favourite colour but they are supper comfortable❤️❤️❤️❤️
Smoky Olive:
It's natural and pretty green. Its quite noticable and makes a statement. Super comfortable. I wish they made monthly of these, I go through them so quickly.
contact lenses really matched my skin tone, and was very comfortable throughout the whole day of wearing .
These lenses are so comfortable!
I’ve been wearing them for hours and I don’t even notice them.
Usually, my eyes get dry or irritated, but not with these.
I’m honestly loving them!
The colour looked great on IG but when I tried it on, it didn’t seem to fit like the ones posted online. My eyes also seemed to dry out faster compared to other contacts. Will try a different colour and see if that works better.
