They say the eyes are the window to our soul. If that’s the case, then a lot of celebrities seem to be doing a bit of window shopping!

And these celebs seem to know that too! See below how these TV personalities, music stars and actors/actresses have used coloured contacts to spice up their look:
1. Jennifer Aniston
We’ve always known Jennifer Aniston for her bright blue eyes, but did you know she’s an avid user of blue coloured contacts? It’s no surprise – they complement her blonde hair perfectly.
2. Michelle Keegan
Michelle Keegan, ex Corrie Star, is another who’s jumped on the blue contact lenses hype. As you can see in this image, choosing to go for a set of blue lenses - away from her natural shade of brown.
3. Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton is one of the most well-known users of coloured contacts. In fact, she uses them that often – people still believe that her natural eye colour is brown.
