<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">New sunglasses (and eyewear in general) are all <i>natural </i>and
made out of wood. This <i>new </i>trend is not really new. We've seen
these types of sunglasses before but they will probably be more visible in
2014. Wooden sunglasses are in most cases made out of bamboo. Bamboo is light,
strong and very flexible and is therefore the ideal material for
sunglasses. Some well known brands are:</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">That's right! Take a close look at the shape of your face. Is it round or squarer?
Is it a little bit triangulated or perhaps shaped like a heart? There are even
people with faces that look like a diamond. When it comes to finding the right
glasses (eyewear), it is important to look at the shape of your face. It is
always best to choose a model that is the exact opposite of your head shape. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">When you have a round shaped face, it is best when you choose a squared
model. People with a round face look friendly and soft. The jawline is probably
round as well. A square style will make the <i>look </i>of your face
a little bit more mature.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">People with an oval face shape have a typical <i>model face</i>. Top
models such as Doutzen Kroes, the Brazilian Adriana Lima and the British model
Kate Moss all have oval shaped faces. The face is longer than it is wide (the
width of the face is about 1/3 then the length of the face) with a strong
visible jawline and cheekbones. People with an oval face can wear any kind of
sunglass. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">When the face is rectangle, the face is long and wide. The upper half of
the head is almost even wide as the lower part of the face. It is best to
choose for a round styled sunglass. A smaller model makes the face a little
mort softer and friendlier. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">When your face is shaped like a heart it means the upper half of your face
is wider than the lowest part. Your chin is sharp. It is best to choose a

It is important that both types of UV radiation (UVA and UVB rays) is blocked. </span></span></div>

Pigment is something we all find in the human eyes. The type and amount of pigmentation in the iris determines the colour. There are two types of pigment cells. The first type is called eumelanin and the second one is called pheomelanin (or <b>lipochrome</b>). When you have a lot of eumelanin pigment cells, chances are high you have brown eyes. When your stroma (iris) contains only a small amount of the eumelanin cells, chances are high you will have blue eyes.<br />

<h2>
Eumelanin and pheomelanin</h2>
<div>
Most people have a lot of eumelanin cells in their stroma (iris). This means most people on our planet have brown eyes. Dark brown eyes have more eumelanin than light brown eyes. When someones has only a tiny bit of eumelanin, eyes turn blue. <b>Pheomelanin </b>is a little bit different than eumelanin. Pheomelanin creates a pink / red hue. This type of melanin is found in large quantities in red hair. Pheomelanin is also responsible for the third eye colour: green eyes. </div>

<h2>
Green eyes and pheomelanin</h2>
<div>
Pheomelanin not only creates a pink / red hue but also a yellowish hue. We see this colour when a person has a huge amount of pheomelanin inside the stroma. This yellowish colour is called <i>amber</i>. Amber is extremely rare. When a person has both pheomelanin and a little bit of eumelanin, green eyes will form. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
No pigment: red eyes!</h2>
<div>
Red eyes are very rare. You will only see them when a person has very little pigmentation in the skin, hair and iris. In almost all cases a person with red eyes is also albino: very light (white) hair and skin. Red eyes look red because you see the reflection of blood. </div>

The gray eye colour is a very unique one. We all know blue and brown eyes. Brown eyes are the most common of all colours known by human kind. Aprox. 90% of all humans have brown eyes.

Why gray eyes? </h2>
<div>
Gray eyes are very unique because only a small percentage of people around the world have these special eyes. The gray eye colour is actually a special kind of blue. Some people think gray eyes are due to the fact that pigment in the eye changed and has the ability to bend light into a grey colour. We see colour because lightrays bends into a special way. Every colour has its special lightwave. </div>

Are gray eyes rare?</h2>

Only a small number of people have gray eyes. Some estimates show that only 2 percent of all people have gray eyes. Brown eyes are much more common and is the dominant eye colour. In some countries the brown eye colour is the only colour there is. Especially countries in Africa and Asia are very brown eyed. Green eyes are very rare. Only 1-2 % of all people on the world have those special green eyes. The estimates are based on extrapolations. </div>

How to make your eye colour lighter: honey</h2>

Can you make your eyes a little bit lighter with honey? Some people believe in the power of honey and use it on their eyes for a lighter eye colour. Of course, it is interesting to know how and why honey lightens up the eye colour. Is it true or just a myth? Let's find out if honey really lightens up your eye colour.<br />

<h2>
Honey change your eye colour?</h2>
<div>
You've probably heard about honey. Just a few drops of honey mixed with some water will change your eye colour from darker brown to a more subtle lighter brown. Some people claim that it should change your eye colour just very slightly when you use it on a frequently basis. </div>

<h2>
Let's get it over with: no it won't work</h2>
<div>
Honey does not change your eye colour in a more subtle, ligther or even brighter colour. Your eye colour is determined by your genes (dna). If you have genes responsible for brown eyes, your eyes turn brown. You can not change your colour just by putting honey on your eyes. Actually, what you are doing is putting honey on your cornea. There are no pigment (eumelanin) cells in your cornea so no change in eye colour is possible. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
Is honey dangerous for your eyes?</h2>
<div>
Is honey harmful for your eyes? Well, normally it is not very harmful when it is pure and not contaminated. Of course, honey will not lighten your eyes. Honey has a natural anti bacterial effect. For this reason people use it as a treatment on their eyes (eye trauma's or pink eye). </div>

Also Rihanna and Lindsay Lohan have green eyes. Of course, when we take a close look at their irisses, we see a lot variation in its brightness. Some people have light green eyes, some have them very dark, almost brown/yellow. Light green eyes have low levels of melanin and a mediate amount of lipochrome. This lipochrome makes eyes a little bit yellowish. Eyes with a huge amount of lipochrome (and very little melanin) look yellow. Genes responsible for the lipochrome production are very rare. This is the main reason why green (and amber) eyes are very rare. </div>

Where is this person from?</h2>
<div>
In June we had a little guess about this guys nationality. As we have seen in previous posts, people living in the northern countries are ususally white, blond and light eyed. People from southern countries (in almost all continents) are dark, brown eyed and have brown or black hair. The guy on the picture is Sveinur Gaard Olsen. He starred in the Danish X-factor but he is orignially from the Faroe Islands (Tórshavn). What were your thoughts?</div>

Eye color and glasses</h2>
<div>
Sometimes it is really hard to choose, especially when you have a lot of options to choose from. Quite a lot of people have glasses and I know from own experience it's hard to find a nice frame. What a lot of people don't know is that eye color is also very important in selecting a nice frame.<br />
<a name='more'></a><h2>
Blue eyes and glasses</h2>
</div>
<div>
When you have blue eyes, it is best to take contrast colours like Tangerine or rich brown colours. When you make use of contrast colours, your eyes will really ''pop out'' and will complement the fame of your glasses. Of course, a black or white frame is always a safe option.<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
Hazel eyes and glasses</h2>
<div>
When you have those deep rich hazel eyes, it's best to choose a frame colour that complements your natural eye colour. Look for frames with deep green and soft brown teints. When you have golden spots in your eyes (yellow spots are very common in hazel eyes), it is adviseable to choose desert colours. </div>

Is there actually a typical look?</h2>
<div>
In my previous post(s) I described some typical traits of people from the Germanic countries. These Germanic countries are all in mid-north Europe and share some typical things. First, they all have a high percentage of blondes. Second, the most common eye colour is blue, green or grey. Germanic countries are for example The Netherlands, Sweden, Iceland and Germany.<br />
<a name='more'></a> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course, not everyone looks like a ''typical'' person. These Germanic countries also have a lot of people with brown hair. Also black and red hair are no rarity.<br />

The southern parts of Europe</h2>
</div>
<div>
When we travel to the south we'll see different people. France, Spain, Portugal and Italy all have different looking people. The most obvious difference is hair colour, followed by eye colour. People from southern parts of Europe are more likely to have brown or black hair. Also, they tend to have more darker eyes (brown in different shades). </div>

<h2>
What do French look like?</h2>
<div>
People from France are called French. France is a very large country and internationally very famous for a lot of different things. The capital city is Paris, also known as the city of love. It is actually hard to describe the typical look of a French person because the country is extremely large (in comparison with other European countries). French from the norhtern parts of France are ususally lighter (more blond, lighter eyes). </div>

The typical European look</h2>
<div>
We all know Europeans are very divers when it comes to their looks. How do we recognize a typical European? Of course, we have to look at different countries when we are talking about specific looks. Here, we are going to find the tyical look in the Germanic world. <br />

<h2>
Genetic Mapping in Europe</h2>
<div>
Below you see a picture of genetic overlap between different European countries. Finland is a lonley island in the European genetic world. Germany is sharing a lot of overlap between different other countries. Sweden only share genetic overlap with northern Germany (DE1). Norway share a lot of overlap with Denmark, The Netherlands, British Isles and northern Germany. The five countries (NO, DK, NL, UK/IE, DE1) all show a great deal of overlap with eachother. Norway and The Netherlands share approximately 40%, Norway and Denmark approximately 50%. </div>

The most dominant eye colour in Europe</h2>
A lot of people are interested in eye colours. Why? Because it is one of the most unique features humans have. Also, it is the most interesting trait we can see directly. There are a lot of different eye colours and each colour seems to be a unique one. No colour is the same. There is always a small variation between different humans.<br />
<a name='more'></a> Richard's blue eyes are not the same as Tom's. In Europe, the most dominant eye colour is brown. Of course, when we look at specific regions, the brown eye colour is less common. In the northern part of Europe, blue, green and <a href="http://www.wiekiest.nl/kies-beauty/kies-ogen/item/250-grijze-ogen-iris-en-oogkleur.html">grey eyes</a> are a lot more common and are most of the time the <b>dominant eye colours</b>. In the southern part, brown is the dominant eyecolour.<br />

Northern Europe</h2>
<div>
Indeed, blue is most common in the northern part of Europe. Also the east has a lot of blue eyed people. Countries like Poland and Belarus have quite a lot of light eyed people. Also the west has more light eyed residentials. The UK is still very light eyed. Iceland and Schotland as well. The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark are also extremely light eyed countries. Norway, Sweden, Estonia and Finland are probably the fairest of them all.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Southern Europe</h2>
</div>
<div>
The more you look to the south, the more brown eyes you will see. It already starts in Belgium. This country has significant more darker eyed people than it's neighbouring countries. Also France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece are a lot darker in general. </div>

What eye colours are there?</h2>
<div>
There are a lot of different eye colours. The colour you'll find most is brown. This colour is the dominant colour in the human species. Secondly, hazel and some other brownish variations are quite common. Blue, a recessive colour, is quite rare in most countries, though some areas have a lot of blue-eyed people. Green and amber are both also extremely rare.<br />

<h2>
The United States of America (the US)</h2>
</div>
<div>
This country used to be a blue-eyed country but that changed over time. Nowadays, brown is the dominant colour. However, when we only focus on the caucasian American population, blue (light) eyes are more proiment (around 60%).<br />

Amber eye colour in humans</h2>
<div>
Have you ever heard of the amber eye colour? Do you know what it is? Only a small number of people know someone with these extremely special eye colour. Around the world, only less then 1% has the amber eye colour. Amber eyes may even be the rarest eye colour in the world!<br />
<a name='more'></a> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The pigment responsible for the amber colour is lipochrome. This yellowish pigment also exist in green eyes. The amber eye colour has a lot of this yellow lipochrome but a low amount of melanin. Sometimes, when the light shines on the iris, amber eyes shines like two golden coins. This ''light scattering'' is called <b>rayleigh scattering. </b></div>

<b>Amber or Hazel eyes?</b></h2>
</div>
<div>
Sometimes people confuse amber with hazel eyes. Amber eyes are of a solid uniform colour. The color can shift some due light effects, but the overall colour is the same. Hazel eyes tend to be more multicolourish. They can have green, brown and some golden/red flecks in it.<br />

Blue eye colour in humans</h2>
<div>
The blue eye colour is a recessive trait in humans and is quite a unique thing in the world. In the US, only <b>1 out of 6</b> (some people think 1 out of 10!) have blue irises. In some other countries, especially those in Africa and Asia, the blue eye colour is almost non prevalent.<br />
<a name='more'></a> </div>
<div>
A blue eye colour gives rise when the eye produces only a very little amount of melanin. Melanin is the pigment you also find in your hair. A lot of melanin causes a darker, brownish colour. People with brown eyes produce a lot of melanin.<br />

Countries with blue-eyed-people</h2>
<div>
When we look at the entire world population, the blue-eyed-people are quite rare. Of course, not every country has only a small amoutn of those blue eyes. In fact, blue irises are quite common in Europe. Especially the nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Netherlands, Estonia) has a lot of them walking around.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Blue-eyed Scandinavia</h2>
</div>
<div>
In Finland, almost 95% of all inhabitants have blue (or green) eyes. Estonia may have an even higher percentage. The Scandinavian countries are also very high in blue eyes, around 85%. The Netherlands follows with 70-80% light (blue) eyes. Germany, Ireland, Scotland, Poland, Latvia and Lithuania also have a lot of people with blue eyes (50+%).<br />
<br />
<h2>
Blue eyes as an infant</h2>
</div>
<div>
A lot of people in the US and Europe had blue eyes when they where an infant. The melanin production in the iris did not worked optimal so the eyes looked blue (low amount of melanin). Also, a lot of infants have very light blond hair. Hair and eye colour stay light when a person has the genes responsible for those light traits. </div>

Blue eyes and intelligence</h2>
</div>
<div>
Scientist believe that intelligence and blue eyes go well together. They found some significant effect between blue eyes and strategical thinking. Blue eyed participants seemed to be better on that dimension. Also people with green and grey eyes (light eyes) scored higher. Of course, the results can be biased.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Melanin and blue eyes</h2>
The level op melanin in the eyes is for every eye colour different. Brown eyes have a lot of melanin (pigmentation), other eye colours like green and blue have only a little bit. According to some researchers, blue eyed people have almost always the same level of melanin inside their irises whereas brown-eyed people show a lot of variation.<br />

Rare green eyes in humans</h2>
<div>
There are a lot of different eye colours in humans but some are more rare than others. Just look around you and take a good look at peoples eye colour. There is a high chance you will notice a lot of people with brown eyes. Brown eyes are by far most common in humans. In some countries, the brown eye colour is the only colour there is. <br />
<a name='more'></a>In other countries however, you would find a lot of diversity. Green, blue, hazel, grey and even violet eyes do exist as well. </div>

<h2>
Brown is the most common eye colour</h2>
<div>
In the US only 1 out of 6 people have a light (blue) eye colour. The brown eye colour is in the US the most prevalent. No surprise, because brown is also the dominant colour. In other countries, especially in northern Europe, brown is less common. Estonia for example is a very light eyed country with almost 98% having the blue eyes.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Africa is very brown</h2>
</div>
<div>
The further you go to the south, the more chance there is that you will find a person with brown eyes. In southern europe for instance, there is on average a change of 80% you will find a brown eyed person. Lighter eyes are also in southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece) less common. Further south, going to Africa, light eyes are almost disappeared.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Light eyes in Scandinavia</h2>
</div>
<div>
Scandinavians tend to have a very light appearence. Light eyes are definitely the standard in these northern countries. Sweden, Norway and Denmark all have high percentages of light eyed people. Also Finland and Iceland are extremely light with almost 90% of them having light eyes (green, grey and blue). Other ''northern'' countries like The Netherlands, Scotland and Germany have <i>light eyed peoples</i> too. In The Netherlands approximately 80% of the inhabitants have green or blue eyes. Germany (especially the northern part of the country) follows with almost 70% having lighter eye colours.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Green eyes are rare</h2>
</div>
<div>
Within the ''light'' eyed population, the green eyes are outnumbered by the blue eyes. Green eyes are dominant over the blue eye colour but there are only very few people that carry the genes responsible for green eyes. Only 1-2% of the entire human population have green eyes.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Shades of green eyes</h2>
</div>
<div>
Green eyes can look very different. They can be very dark, almost brown. Sometimes they are very light: almost neon. It all depends on <b>the amount and type</b> of melanin inside the iris. If you have a lot of melanin, your eyes look darker and if you have only a tiny bit, your eyes tend to look very light (bright).<br />
<br />
The light green eyes are most common in Iceland, The Netherlands, Scotland, Ireland, Estonia and Scandinavia. Dark green eyes can be find all over Europe, the US and even in Pakistan. </div>

Green eyes and red hair</h2>
<div>
Scientist suspects there is a relation between red hair and the green eye colour. It looks like there is a high correlation between those two human traits. Having the red hair colour is also very unique (and recessive). Only 1 - 2 % of the entire human population have naturally red hair. Of course, not only red hair coexist with green eyes. Also blondes and darker hair colours tend to have green eyes (or the other way around). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
Green eyes and gender</h2>
<div>
Normally, you would expect a 50/50 gender variation between the eye colours (blue, brown), but scientist found a positive correlation between being a woman and having the green eye colour. Why green eyes are more found in women is still unknown and it is not certain a gender differentiation actually exist. The findings could be biased somehow. </div>

Hazel eyes are Green eyes?</h2>
<div>
Some people confuse hazel eyes with green eyes. Hazel eyes are also very rare but are different than green eyes. First of all, hazel eyes have more melanin. They look more brownish and are overall a bit darker, sometimes with a golden teint. People with hazel eyes often notice a considerable change in their eye colour, especially when a lot of light reflect on their eyes. Secondly, some green eyes have a lot of yellow pigment in them. Hazel eyes share this yellow pigmentation hence the confusion.<br />

Green eyes can be found anywhere but you will find them most of the time in Europe. Some people believe green eyes came to existence due to a mixture of blue and brown eyes. This idea became <i>popular </i>because a lot of green eyes can be found in areas where brown and blue eyes came together. When we look at the map, the highest percentage of green eyes can be found in Scotland. Ireland also has (relative) a lot of green eyed inhabitants. </div>

<br />
Green eyes have lipochrome. This lipochrome (also known as <i>feomelanin</i>) is a yellowish pigment. People with green eyes and especially those with amber coloured eyes have a lot of this yellow lipochrome inside their irises. Those with blue, brown or grey eyes usually don't have any lipochrome. When you have a lot of lipochrome inside your iris, you might have the amber eye colour. When you only have a small portion of this yellow pigment, your eyes might look a bit more green/blue-ish.<br />
<br />
The combination of the yellow pigment and low amount of melanin gives rise to light green eyes. When you have a moderate amount of melanin but also lipochrome, your eyes probably look darker green. When you only have a low amount of melanin (and no lipochrome), your eyes look blue.<br />
<br />
<b>Light Green Eyes:</b> (very) low amount of melanin + moderate amount of lipochrome<br />
<br />
<b>Blueish Green Eyes</b>: (very) low amount of melanin + low amount of lipochrome<br />
<br />
<b>Yellowish Green Eyes</b>: (very) low amount of melanin + (very) high amount of lipochrome<br />
<br />
<b>Dark Green Eyes</b>: moderate amount of melanin + moderate amount of lipochrome<br />
<br />
<b>Brownish Green Eyes</b>: high amount of melanin + moderate amount of lipochrome<br />
<br />
<i>Blue Eyes</i>: (very) low amount of melanin (no lipochrome)<br />
<i>Brown Eyes</i>: (very) high amount of melanin (no lipochrome)<br />
<i>Amber Eyes</i>: (very) low melanin + very high amount of lipochrome<br />
<i>Grey Eyes</i>: low amount of melanin (no lipochrome)<br />

Heterochromia Iridum</h2>
<div>
Some people have a truly unique thing going on with their eyes: they have more than one colour! When one eye has a different colour than the other; it is called heterochromia iridum. When only a small portion of the iris has a different colour, it is called: partial heterochromia. </div>
