When is Carnival?
Carnival 2026 is starting on the 13th of February- this gives plenty of time for the festivities to take place before the start of Lent. In the US, Carnival is known as Mardi Gras, which will be happening on February 17th.
Carnival Contact Lenses
As Carnival is so close to Valentine’s Day, we know there’ll be plenty of natural colours and romantic springtime looks! This means that our natural contact lenses will be utterly perfect. You can shop ranges like our fantasy lenses, and find a pair of colourful, whimsical lenses to brighten up your festive look. Check out this gorgeous fairy makeup by @mimis_mind:
In this look, @mimis_mind blends blue and purple makeup together, creating a spring-ready look that’s perfect for flaunting at a Carnival parade. Our Nymph Purple Lenses are the perfect pair for this iconic look- with their complex layers of violet pigments and their ethereal feel, these lenses give a natural finish while still helping the makeup to feel utterly unique.
Can I wear contact lenses with dark eyes?
With so many gorgeous natural contacts to choose from, we know that the options can be a little overwhelming, especially if you’re not sure that you’ll achieve the same result on your natural eyes. We’re here to help- our ‘Lenses For Dark Eyes’ section has been specifically curated to feature only lenses that cover darker eyes. If you’re wondering what colour contacts are best for dark eyes, this section gives you plenty of choices in a range of shades.
We also have coverage scales on all of our lenses, showing you how high-coverage a pair of contacts is. For example, if a pair of lenses is ‘enhancing’ only, it may mean that they work best over light eyes. However, if a pair of lenses is ‘high-coverage’, then they’re perfect for you!
Coloured Contact Lenses For Dark Eyes- Our Ranges
If you take a look at our lenses for dark eyes, you’ll see plenty of different ranges on hand; from blue contact lenses for dark eyes to green contacts for brown eyes, light brown contacts for dark eyes, and everything in between. In 2025, our most popular natural lenses were the Sapphire Blue Contact Lenses. These lenses feature high pigmentation, which makes them perfect for darker eyes.
If you’re looking for green contact lenses, you can try out our Jade Green Contact Lenses, also among our 2025 bestsellers.
These green lenses are part of our jewel range. Our jewel-toned lenses are designed to be bright and impactful, with colours based on precious gemstones. Because of their glimmer and impact, lenses like this will be perfect for a Carnival look. Check out this example by our affiliate @leahcomptonn:
