Choosing Halloween Contact Lenses For Your Costume
It's that time of the year and youngsters and adults are choosing their costumes for the halloween. Some people go all the way to create a really specific costume and to get all the details they might use specific halloween contact lenses designed for that particular character that they are trying to be. You have to be very careful about the style and color of the cosmetic contacts that you choose to wear to keep the authentity with the character.
If you have decided to dress as a vampire, you basically have a few options since in the film industry they have been described with many different types of eyes. Sometimes you see them with black irises, black eyeballs, red iris, but also in some rare cases with a cat eye styled iris. To keep a credible look, I suggest that you get natural looking contacts, instead of those full orange or red contacts. Having imperfections in the tint, will create a more natural looking eye.
If you are going with a gothic costume, you will do great with a white iris and a black center for your eye - this will create a vampirish eye but in a different manner, and you won't look like an albino without any pigment in the iris.
Halloween contacts come in different styles, and since there are countless of costume options, there are also countless of choices for your contacts. These are normally without powers. so you won't have to worry about it, but if you normally need glasses you will still need the glasses - this won't work with the costume in most cases.
You can find flame contacts, large black sclera contacts, totally white contacts, contacts with a twilight and all kinds of different textures. Most of these aren't really meant for any specific costume, but you can just use them as you feel like is complimenting your outfit. Although there are such as werewolf contacts that are a red and yellow iris, creating a flesh hungry look.
When it comes to costume contact lenses, you need to be sure that they are in the line of the costume. So not only do you have to use a matching color with your costume, you need to be sure that you aren't mixing up different monster histories. A good example of this would be using contacts that create the eye of a werewolf, when you are dressed as a vampire. Doing some background search on your character will make it easier for you to create a perfect outfit.
