Confused about contact lenses?

About two years ago, my eye doctor told me that I have astigmatism in one of my eyes. I didn’t think much of it and got glasses. This year, I got braces and I’m wishing I had gotten contact lenses. I’m a teenage girl and really don’t want to look "nerdy" and I hate wearing glasses so I think I should get contacts.
My mom told me that I could get contact lenses this year, but I have no idea where to start. I’d like to get color contacts to lighten up my almost black eyes and make them look a pretty color. I’ved looked at a few websites that sell color contacts, but they are not made for people with astigmatism. I’ve also read about "toric" lenses. What are they and can I wear them if I only have astigmatism in one eye? Can I wear normal lenses and would anything happen if I did? Are there any brands that you use that sell color contacts for people with astigmatism? Should I just get non-color contacts?
Thank you and sorry if that was kind of long. =)

I Just want to wear the color contacts to make my eyes more hazel. I dont mind wearing glasses…but I still want to wear contacts with them…is this possible? I know I can get special astigmatism contacts…but I just want the non-perscription ones!

By the way I love my glasses…I would never get a perscription!

ordering contact lenses with an astigmatism?

i just went to the eye doctors the other day and i have just found out that i have an astigmatism. i was planning on getting a pair of circle lenses (color contacts that are slightly bigger then the iris of your eye to make your eyes look bigger) but i dont know if i can order them anymore. ive heard that you can get some for asigmatisms but they dont come in a lot of colors but ive also heard that if tastigmatismism is juslightigh that you can just get regular ones. my prescription is

right eye: -1.75
left eye: -2.00 CYL: -0.50 AXIS: 171

does that mean i have a slight astigmatism. if so, should i just get regular circle lenses. thank you for any answers! :)

Contact lens for an astigmatism?

I have an astigmatism and slightly dry eyes. What brand would be most comfortable?

Also, I’m thinking about color contacts and my eyes are a dark brown. I understand Freshlook is the only provider of color contacts for astigmatisms. Does anyone know if the Blue color toric lenses show up well?
