1 Day Acuvue Define Lenses in Vivid Review

Long time no post! I cannot believe it's already halfway past January, where does the time go? *sigh*

Here is my second and final review for this particular series of lenses. This review will be shorter than the other one as I didn't see the point of photographing the box and blister packs of these lenses as they are the same as the lenses I reviewed anyway, bar the name and design of the lens. If you haven't read my other review yet, you can find it here.

The design of the lens is a tad simple, it consists of just a milky chocolate brown colour with lots of uneven spikes radiating the centre of the lens. However I find these lenses, much like the Natural Shine ones, are able to enhance your eyes in the most subtle way without being boring. These lenses look very natural indeed on my brown eyes, even more so than the Natural shine due to the colour being brown. The shade of brown is lighter than my natural eye colour, which creates a sort of milky halo that I find very pretty. The enlargement once again is minimal but still enough to make your eye subtley pop.

Sorry for the dodgy colouring! The colour is actually quite a bit darker!

With the other lenses, I had a problem with the sclera appearing through in some photographs. I have the same problem with these lenses too (you can see it very slightly on the photograph below) as both the Natural Shine and Vivid lenses share the same base curve and the ring design is quite narrow, but the degree to which you can see the sclera is not as severe with these lenses. I also have a problem with blurriness with these lenses due to the base curve,which really annoys me as I really love the effect these lenses give TT

I love how these lenses make my eyes look  naturally larger and 'vivid' :D

With one lens in and one lens out, the enlargment is more noticeable, but I'm sure you'll agree that these lenses are probably one of the most natural you will come across.

Not a severe o.O look, but still noticeable!

Comfort-wise, these are just like the Natural Shine lenses, the lenses are very soft (to the point where it can be a little frustrating sometimes to get the lens into a bowl shape on your finger) and hence very comfortable. However the base curve problem makes it difficult for my eyes to focus properly and hence can cause some discomfort.

My Verdict

Design: 2.5/5
A little boring but I like how the spikes help the colour blend into my natural eye colour.

Effect: 5/5
Sweet and natural is what I would use to describe how my eyes look with these lenses.

Enlargement: 3/5 
Little enlargement but still enough to make your eyes cuter and more dolly. Even though the diameter is the same at Natural Shine, I find these lenses give a slightly larger enlargement effect.

Comfort: 3/5
The base curve problem really annoys me, but remember if you don't have a problem with the 8.5 base curve, these will probably be the most comfortable lenses you'll ever wear.

I would repurchase if it wasn't for the base curve problem, but I don't think it's a wise idea for me to buy them again.

If you don't have the base curve problem, then I'll give you two thumbs up to try these lenses :D


Between Vivid and Natural Shine, I like both designs equally but each one has it's own special effect. Vivid has a more believable effect, creating cuter, rounder eyes.
Natural Shine however creates an air of mystery due to the grey limbal ring. Brown eyes don't have a grey limbal ring naturally (but if you know someone who does, let me know! I'd love to see! ^^), hence why it creates a more interesting effect.

Hope my review was useful
