Weird contact lenses for Halloween fancy dress theme ideas

Dramatize your eyes by using contact lenses to fit your Halloween fancy dress theme idea. Horror contact lenses, cute contact lenses or just plain weird contact lenses make even the simplest Halloween costume ideas stand out from among other witches, vampires, zombies and assorted motley crew. A number of designs are available in prescription versions as well.

Colorful, horrific or weird contact lenses can of course be used with ready to buy Halloween costumes. For a more original look, you could make your own Halloween fancy dress, perhaps from patterns or ideas in books. Add your own personal touches to your creation, including costume-matched contact lenses.

Alternatively, you can simply let your eyes do most of the talking, with Halloween-themed contact lenses as the main focus of a simple outfit with minimal props. A few such ideas are shown below.

The wonderfully weird contact lenses featured in this hub come with free delivery worldwide. They are all UK-manufactured in accordance with the EU Cosmetics Directive and undergo ISO International Standards quality control. All the pictures of lenses in this hub are from the sales material on the web site of Four Eyez, where these lenses can be bought.

Where witches go, so do their cats. A Halloween cat costume is great in both male and female modes. A witch's cat is usually black, and black is flattering for all body shapes and skin complexions.

A simple outfit can consist of black leggings and top combined with a home-made or bought face mask. What makes the whole breathtaking is the addition of cat contact lenses with the typical vertical pupil.

Cat contact lenses are available in prescription as well as non-prescription versions in a number of colors including red (vampire cat?). They also feature in a range that glows under UV light, as shown in the picture. Perfect, if your Halloween includes a club or disco.

Strips of torn bed sheets can be pinned or tacked to top and leggings to give the impression of an Egyptian mummy's wrappings. A larger piece can be wound round the head.

The final horror of the tomb: spiders or their webs have invaded the eyes...

Good quality contact lenses are safe provided they are used, cleaned and stored correctly. Proper hygiene and cleanliness is essential when handling contact lenses. Ensure that you purchase contact lens solution and a storage box, if you do not already have these.

The water content of lenses shown in this hub is 38%. This makes them comfortable, flexible and soft to wear. However, they should not be worn for more than eight hours at a time. Depending on the type, they have a lifetime of between 3 and 12 months from the date they are opened.

Never insert contact lenses into an eye that is painful or irritated.

In the case of lenses, such as the mesh ones below, where the design also covers the pupil, do not wear them while driving or during any other activities that require optimum vision.

Ordinary and prescription lenses with a mesh design extended over the pupil are perfect for a non-human look.

I suggest using a metallic makeup to cover hands, face and neck. The Liquid Latex Fashions body paint metallic range includes silver, gold and copper. This product is free of ammonia and contains only FDA-approved ingredients. It is safe to use on the face. The paint dries into an elastic rubbery layer on the skin. After the party is over, the paint can be simply peeled off; no scrubbing required. Although it does not stain skin, if it comes into contact with clothing while still wet, it will leave a permanent mark.

Beware of the Queen of Spades
Her black widow's curse might find you yet
Beware of a love that you will regret
Her love means only your death

A regal dress and crown, perhaps with a cloak; a combination of dark red and black would be perfect. These could be decorated with pinned or tacked on spade shapes cut out of black felt. The final touch, A black spade shape gleaming out of each eye.

All black eyes, with no difference between pupil and iris can be highly disconcerting. The animated movie of Neil Gaiman's Coraline uses this to great effect.

All black contact lenses, in prescription or non-prescription format provide that final sinister touch for any Halloween themed costume idea you wish to use.
