1-Day Acuvue Define (Accent Style, Vivid Style, & Natural Shine)

  • Do you want brighter looking eyes?
  • Do you want bigger and more defined eyes, yet natural looking?
  • Do you want to enhance the beauty of your eyes?
  • Are your eyes sensitive to long-wear contact lenses?
If you answered yes to all at least 2/4 questions above, you're gonna love the 1-Day Acuvue Define contact lenses series. They're the most comfortable lenses that provide a super natural bright looking eyes I've ever used. These babies provide the most subtle and natural effect that no body can ever tell your beauty secret. They give bigger, brighter, and more defined eyes.
They also block out at least 82% of the UVA and 97% of the UVB from the sun.

They come in 3 different styles, depend on what you're aiming or going for.

The Accent Style gives a neat & confident look. Though it doesn't carry the word "Natural" but it provides the most natural looking out of all the 3, in my point of view from having to tried all 3 of them. I think it's because of the light-black rim. It also makes my eyes kinda sparkly but definitely doesn't give that scarily big black dolly eyes look. People definitely don't know that I'm wearing contact lenses when I have these on.

The Natural Shine provides a sophisticated and intellectual kinda look. It is the second to the most natural looking out of 3, because of the honey tint to it. These lenses depend on how the light hits your pupil that deliver a different effect each time. Sometimes it can look really natural like you have nothing on, other times it does look like you have contact lenses on, only that it is very natural looking.

Lastly, the Vivid Style would give you an outgoing and lively kinda feel. Based on my on-going experience with these lenses, they definitely give that illusion of bigger eyes and innocent look. They're my favorite just because they don't seem to be obvious and they're super natural. Each lens has a spiky brown rim and the spikes darken your pupil, that's why it makes your eye seem to appear bigger and rounder.

1-Day Acuvue clear contact lenses


I know that it's kinda random to include the clear one in here but since it's under the "1-Day Acuvue" category I might as well doing a review on it. These definitely feel super comfortable as they don't dry out your eyes. They were my first clear contact lens and still are. I wear these only when I have days off from work or at home all day.

Tina's Verdict & Personal Experience:

The 1-Day Acuvue is definitely my favorite brand and line out of all for contact lenses. Because they're daily disposable lenses so they feel extremely comfortable. They don't dry out my eyes as easy as some other colored yearly disposable brands that I've tried before. It sucks that the Define series are not sold here in the US, at least here in Arizona where I live. I'd have to order them from overseas, so if I were to use them "daily" it can get super pricey for me. What I've been doing is that, I use each pair for 2 days before tossing them out. Except for the days which I have to work about 10 hours, that require a lot of concentration then I'd toss them out after each use because by the end of the day they're probably all worn out and got pretty blurry already.

Unlike other yearly disposable lenses when you put them on the wrong side, they hurt like hell. Every time this happens, I literally cannot even open my eyes to get them out (or maybe I have sensitive eyes... I don't know!). The 1-Day Acuvue is pretty amazing at this, it doesn't hurt you at all when put on the wrong side. They simply just don't seem to stick into your pupil that well and you can tell right away because it has a weird blurriness to it. Except for the Accent Style, when I put it on the wrong side, they hurt my eyes so bad (again, I could be having sensitive eyes...?...).

I love love love this brand and the colored contact lenses not only because they're super comfortable, natural looking no matter what series of the Define you're using, and they give an instant bigger and brighter looking eyes. I honestly cannot live without them!  Crossing my fingers that one day, they'll come to the US.

I got my lenses at Contactlensxchange.com and before that was Aalens.com. At Contactlensxchange, the shipment was pretty expensive but extremely fast and in very well condition. I am pleased with their service and will definitely reordering from them again!

Rating:  5/5

Update as of Dec 18, 2012: I am now on my 4th order with Contactlensxchange and let me correct myself about the "extremely fast" part, the order usually take about 10 to 15 business days to arrive. The shipping fee depends on how much you order. For example, if you order 2 boxes your shipping fee might be $12 bucks. If you order 6 boxes your shipping fee might be $28 bucks. It varies, depending on how many boxes you order.


Update as of January 31, 2014:  I no longer order my lenses at Contactlensxchange any more. I've been ordering from Aalens because their price per box is usually $2 - $3 cheaper, plus shipping fee is pretty much a flat rate of around $10.95. Here are some pics of me wearing the lenses.

1-Day Acuvue Define in Natural Shine (*my favorite*):
I really love how the Natural Shine lenses have a mixture of the yellow and brown color, which depends on the angle that the light rays hit your eye that it gives a really nice reflect.

  1. Hey, I was considering getting these too. I am kind of scared about purchasing them from contactlensxhange.com because I was worried they may not be authentic. Were you ever concerned that they might be counterfeit? One of my friends swears that most Malaysian sites sell counterfeit lenses. My plan was to order them from lensway.co.uk (super expensive)but if you think contactlensxchange.com is legit then I rather order from there.

    1. Hi Uma. Yeah I ordered from contactlensxchange.com and they are authentic lenses. The lenses came in with Johnson & Johnson seal. The shipping was super fast! It was definitely worth the shipping charge that I paid for. They were even faster than Yesstyle.com.

  2. Hi Tina,

    I have green/hazel eyes and was thinking of getting the natural shine as I already wear 1 day acuvue trueye with the same diameter and base curve so these should definitely fit me well. Do you think they would look good on me even though I'm not asian as I know it's geared towards the asian countries?. Thanks!.

    1. Hi,
      I think they would definitely look good on you since you have a green/hazel base color :-) It'll add more shine to it.
      Let me know how it works out :-)

    2. Thanks Tina!. My eyes I would say are more olive green than hazel as to me hazel is more towards brown but would the natural shine you think make them look a bit more greener?. Does it change your eye color totally?. Because I wouldn't want it to change to brown..I'm just looking for a subtle change and nothing drastic where it's noticeable. Do the lenses look very big in your eye?. Can you see well with them?. You do not see in color correct?. Because from your pics, it looks like the color is not in the middle of the lens but around it.

      And last...Do you know an online company I can get a sample of the natural shine before I decide to buy because it would be nice to see how it would look on me before I buy. Thanks so very much!

    3. Hi there,
      I don't know if it's gonna change your eye color entirely... But for sure that you'll have black/dark brown rims. As you can see in my pictures, the natural shine has a golden tint with black/dark brown rims. I think it's gonna be noticeable. You can try contacting contactlensxchange.com or aalens.com to see if they're willing to send you samples before you decide to make a purchase.

      The 1-day acuvue lens are the most comfortable lens that I've ever used. They work really good on even sensitive eyes. Good Luck :)

  3. Thanks..I think I called in the past contactlensxchange.com and they said they do not send out samples but I will try aalens.com. To be honest, I can't tell from your above pics how they look as when I zoom on your pic, it still is a bit distant and not very close enough for me to tell the diffence but I take your word for it. I currently wear the 1 day acuvue trueye which are also super comfortable and before that I wore the 1 day acuvue moist.

  4. Thanks for the article! I ordered mine from contactlensxchange also, the Acuvue Define Accent! Which color do you like best?
    P.S. I don't think circle lenses will ever come to the US because my optometrist told me they are illegal to be prescribed and sold in the US. The gov. thinks its not safe, so they are still not legally sold here so the only way for us to get it is to order online from Asia -_-

  6. BTW, is there a reason why you are purchasing from Contactlensxchange.com instead of Aalens.com now?

    1. I've been purschased my contacts from Aalens.com now, instead of Contactlensxchange.com becausr it is much cheaper in price when you order in bulk, also their shipping price is not as ridiculusly high as Contactlensxchange; and it takes the same time to get to the States, both are shipped from Singapore.

    2. oh that's awesome! I just recently heard about Contactlensxchange.com and I thought they were good... I think my next order will be from Aalens.com! :)
