Why Lighly Clear Lenses Work with Any Makeup Look
Lighly Clear contacts are designed to keep your eyes looking natural while you wear eye makeup. Because they are transparent daily lenses, they don't compete with eyeshadow, liner, or mascara. Instead, they provide clear vision and comfort so your makeup can be the star.
Made from 100% silicone hydrogel, these lenses offer high moisture retention throughout the day. This is especially helpful when you're wearing powder eyeshadows or long-wear formulas that can dry out the eye area.
Lighly Clear Lens Specs That Matter for Makeup Wear
- Lighly Clear: Total Dia: 14.2mm, Base Curve: 8.7mm, Water Content: 46%, Material: Silicone Hydrogel The 14.2mm diameter is a standard size that fits most eyes without looking enlarged, so your natural eye shape shows through clearly. The high water content and silicone hydrogel material help keep eyes comfortable even when you're wearing makeup for long hours.
Lighly Clear - Lighly Clear: 100% silicone hydrogel provides comfort and maximum moisture throughout the day. Dry eyes can cause makeup to smudge or flake. The moisture-retaining material reduces that risk, letting your eye makeup stay fresh longer.
- Lighly Clear: With an added layer of UV blocking, these lenses provide resistance against harmful UV rays to help protect your eyes. If you're outside for a daytime event with eye makeup, the UV blocking adds a layer of protection against sun exposure, which can also help prevent irritation around the eyes.
Step-by-Step: Apply Lenses Before Makeup
Always put your Lighly Clear lenses in before you start your eye makeup. This prevents makeup oils, powders, or creams from getting on the lenses and causing blurry vision or discomfort.
- 1. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly: Use a mild, non-moisturizing soap to avoid transferring oils to the lenses.
- 2. Insert Lighly Clear lenses: Check that the lens is not inside out and place it on your cornea. Blink a few times to center it.
- 3. Apply eye makeup as usual: Start with eyeshadow primer, then eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. Because the lenses are already in, you won't risk trapping makeup under them.
- 4. Avoid waterproof or oil-based products near the lash line: These can migrate onto the lens surface and cause fogging. Stick to water-based formulas for liner and mascara.
Makeup Tips for Clear Contact Lens Wearers
Because Lighly Clear lenses are transparent, they don't alter your eye color, so you can choose any eyeshadow palette. For a natural look, stick to neutral browns, peaches, or soft pinks. If you want a more dramatic effect, smoky grays or bold jewel tones work well too.
Avoid applying glitter or loose powder directly above the eye where it can fall onto the lens. Use a gentle hand when removing makeup at the end of the day, and remove your lenses before you start cleansing to avoid trapping particles against your eye.
Caring for Your Lenses When Wearing Makeup
Lighly Clear are daily disposable lenses, so you simply discard them after one use. This eliminates the risk of makeup residue building up on the lens over time. If you feel any discomfort or see smudging during wear, remove the lens, rinse it with contact lens solution (if you're reinserting it the same day), and reinsert. However, for daily lenses, it's safest to use a fresh pair each day.
Always remove your lenses before using any makeup remover or cleanser. This prevents the product from soaking into the lens and causing irritation.
