Hi loves!
Today I will be sharing my experience and opinion on the Solotica Natural Colors Cristal contact lenses! I had been looking for a pair of contact lenses aside from the usual Korean and Japanese lenses I have always gone for. I wanted lenses that would give me a super natural looking contacts color without an obvious pattern or enlarging effect, which can actually be hard to find in Korean and Japanese lenses. Especially ones that will provide lighter colors for dark brown eyes. With much searching and comparing, I found Solotica!
I had previously been interested in trying the ever so popular Desio Lenses however over time, I found the pattern to look too obvious and fake up close when browsing through Instagram feeds. However with much searching, I came to the conclusion Solotica would be my best bet! However finding English reviews and high quality photos was tough. So I am hear today to be one of those reviews that will give high quality and up close shots!
SOLOTICA NATURAL COLORS CRYSTAL
I decided to get the color Cristal from the Natural Colors line. The natural colors line is the only line from Solotica that provides prescription powers. Their hydrocolor lenses line which is lovely, unfortunately, does not allow for a prescription just yet. I am hoping they will eventually start providing them with prescriptions.
The Cristal color I got was the lightest available color from the line. On the website, it is displayed on someone with hazel eyes and appears to look almost white or aka, crystal.
On their own, the lenses don’t appear very opaque, giving the impression that they will not be able to cover dark brown eyes, which caught me by surprise at first. However, on the eyes, the lenses are very opaque and cover brown perfectly!
APPEARANCE
On my medium-dark brown eyes, the lenses look super natural and very opaque, perfectly covering my eye color without looking too unnatural. In natural window lighting, the lenses held true to being fully opaque, which can’t be said for all other lenses I have owned.
With room lighting, the lenses were still able to hold up their opacity and still look very natural and stunning on! I couldn’t be more happier with these lenses and how they look in all lighting.
COMFORT LEVEL
The solotica naturals cristal contact lenses are quite thin and are a 14.2 mm in diameter which is the most natural and comfortable for contact lenses. However, to my dismay, these lenses were not the most comfortable to wear in comparison to other lenses I have worn. However they are not super uncomfortable either and for veteran circle lens wearers, you should not have a problem.
I would give them a comfort rating of 7/10. This rating is because the lenses can be felt on the eye which can be slightly irritating. However, the moisture level is excellent making them easy to wear for up to 6 hours.
STATS
Dispose 1 year after opening
- Material: 62% Polymacon
- Hydration: 38%
- Diameter: 14.2 mm
- Base curve: 8.7
OVERALL
If you have worn color contacts before (especially asian brands) and you are looking for circle lenses that look 100% natural and cover dark brown eyes perfectly then I highly recommend these! They gave me that natural greyish blue eye effect without looking fake, they last 1 year, have prescription levels and are fairly comfortable!
The only downside, is that you paying for quality or real-looking eyes. These lenses don’t come cheap and can run you $100 USD in total with international shipping. However, I say it is fully worth it if you’re looking for the best most natural-looking lenses.
WHERE TO BUY?
I got my Solotica Natural Colors Crystal contact lenses from Solotica.com.

February 9, 2016 at 7:04 pmThanks for sharing your review!! It’s crazy how impossible it is to find people having written a good review abou these lenses. Were you actually able to wear them for an entire year? What solution did you keep them in so they didn’t get too much protein buildup? I’m just a little on the fence about getting these since they’re not FDA approved and I worry it can hurt my eyes

February 10, 2016 at 5:13 pmI haven’t owned them for a year yet, only 3 months. still good condition ๐ No damage or irritation. I use Clear Care Triple action cleaning to remove buildup and keep my lenses fresh. And I store them in Opti-free solution. This has proven the best care combo for me over the years with every pair of lenses I have owned.
