Felt a little bit itchy in my eyes first so i wouldn't call them exactly beginner-friendly but i really like the color and they're very comfy once you get used to them. These were only my second lenses so I was pretty scared at first but now I actually really like them. ^^ The color appears a bit dark-ish blue in my eyes and as I have hazel eyes, the yellow tone in the inner part of the lense makes the lenses blend in nicely!
