I tried to space out honey and brown so there was a little more contrast, especially when it came to the people who I spend the most time with. This included those in my "supper club," a monthly dinner hosted by one of six close girlfriends during which we catch up while chowing down.
Fifteen minutes into the meal, my friend Katie started looking at me suspiciously. "Something is different about you. It's your eyes. Are they darker? Are you wearing contacts?"
Then they were all on to me, inquiring as to how comfortable they were and noting how they made my vibe seem "warmer."
The cocoa shade attracted more glances than I'm used to while out and about, and one guy friend noted the brown eye shade, like honey, really "complemented my darker hair." I'm not sure if it was the attention from the outside, or something from the inside, but walking on the darker side of the beauty street made me feel just a tad sassier than usual.
Did my latest revelation prove that my friend's ex (the jerk with the breakup note) was actually on to something? After all, Dr. Chernich said customers typically go lighter. Since "rarer than darker eyes, having blue/green eyes makes someone stand out."
"Those with dark eyes can use brighter colors to stand out" and those with "blue or green use colors to enhance what they already have," he added.
