Contact Lenses: The Perfect Accessory for any Halloween Costume

Can you imagine Sauron with simple brown eyes? There’s a reason why it’s the eye that is symbolic of the Dark Lord’s powers. “The eyes are the windows to the soul”, they say and if you are getting into costume for Halloween, you want to look like your chosen character through and through. The devil’s in the details and coloured contact lenses can take your costume to a whole new level – whether your costume is gorgeously glam or spooky all over.  Read on to see how coloured contact lenses can help you win the ‘best costume’ prize this Halloween.

Types of Coloured Contact Lenses Coloured contact lenses can be broadly divided into two main types: Natural Contacts: These can either subtly enhance your natural eye colour or change it completely. Cosplay Contacts: They change the shape of your pupil and the colour to fit your costume persona.

Benefits of Coloured Contact Lenses Coloured lenses and costumes go together like fine wine and cheese or ‘liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti’ if you’re Hannibal Lector. 

Ease of use While hair and makeup can take you hours, changing the colour of your eyes can take seconds with coloured contact lenses.  Different patterns Coloured lenses don’t just change the colour of your eyes, you can also get contacts with different patterns – like these Loki - Primal Contacts, for example – to really get you into your character. Multiple use Most coloured contact lenses from reputable vendors can be used multiple times.  Wear them on different occasions You can find a ton of different uses for your contact lenses beyond Halloween – wear them during cosplay, to comic con, or to really get into your character at the next D&D game. The possibilities are endless – you can even use your coloured contact lenses as accessories to match your favourite outfit!
