Starting with a Christmas classic, The Grinch! This holiday favourite is a must for any cosplayer or makeup artist who enjoys a challenge and playing with prosthetics and SFX makeup. The Grinch makeup process includes creating his turn-up nose, exaggerated facial creases, and covering it completely in green face and body paint. This Christmas film is very popular amongst both children and adults, so you’re bound to get some attention from most people who lay their eyes on you in this cosplay look!
When it comes to choosing a pair of coloured contact lenses, both green eye contacts and yellow contact lenses are popular options. Funky Lenses affiliate @jennseren has created her take on Ms Grinch, creating the same vibrant green skin tone and prominent nose, but with the addition of extra-long eyelashes and a green-toned long hair wig. To complete this Grinch cosplay look, @jennseren has added the Valak Contact Lenses. These solid, golden yellow lenses fit this character perfectly by enhancing the finished look with an intimidating eye colour and piercing pupils.
For those who are missing spooky season, why not cosplay a character from one of the most popular alternative Christmas films, The Nightmare Before Christmas? This Tim Burton Christmas film is a great movie for those who enjoy a gothic aesthetic, especially as this film may be classed as a Halloween movie too! Filled with eye-catching characters, there are plenty of Christmas-themed roles you could cosplay from this movie, including Jack Skellington in his Santa Claus outfit.
Jack Skellington, the protagonist from The Nightmare Before Christmas, is a skeleton character who features in the movie wearing the classic Father Christmas red coat and hat after being kidnapped and stealing his clothes. Why not recreate this iconic Christmas look as your festive cosplay idea? To complete your skeleton look, you’ll need to wear the right movie contact lenses, preferably in black! Our range of Black Contact Lenses includes many different styles and designs. To keep things simple and effective, we recommend either the Black Mini Sclera Lenses or the Blackout Contact Lenses, both of which allow for full vision, so you can safely wear them to any upcoming Christmas parties.
Planning on keeping things a little more traditional for your festive cosplay? No problem! Give this classic yet statement character a go this Christmas - a snowman! Not necessarily a character from a film, but also could definitely be from your favourite holiday movie, creating a snowman cosplay is an iconic option and can be dressed up or dressed down as much as you like! For your snowman makeup, you’ll need white, black, and orange face paint to really bring your character to life.
This year, affiliate @slightlyspookymua has created her own unique take on a snowman makeup design, incorporating the Big Eye Pretty Hazel Contact Lenses. These natural-inspired brown contacts feature an opaque design that will cover and transform all eye colours! To give your snowman cosplay look a wholesome and softened appearance, consider adding a pair of contact lenses like these. Contrasted with the snowy white skin and deep black eye makeup, the brown contacts stand out beautifully amongst this makeup by @slightlyspookymua.
Other options you could explore would be both black and white contact lenses. Traditionally, when built, the eyes of a snowman are made using coal. This dark black substance sits plainly on the snowy face of your character and creates bold and unmissable eyes; recreate this piercing gaze with a pair of black blind contact lenses. Alternatively, to match the icy aesthetic that comes with the snowman, create a monochromatic result by adding a pair of white lenses!
This Christmas, why don’t you and your friends become the most important workers in the North Pole? Santa’s elves! The great thing about a group cosplay is that you can all look particularly similar but also include your own unique features. To complete your cosplay elf costume, why don’t you each choose a different eye colour? Our range includes so many different colours and styles, so you can choose one that really shows off your elf personality!
From red and pink eye contacts to novelty contact lenses, with Funky Lenses, discover so many different options worth exploring. Why not get into the spirit of things with the Snowflake Cosplay Coloured Lenses? Their vibrant blue background enhances the appearance of your natural eye colour, whilst the snowflake design encourages a wintery finish. Alternatively, opt for a plain coloured lens that mimics the tones of the winter season, such as a pair of ice blue contacts like the Shiva Blue or Wild Blizzard Lenses, or a pair of silver contact lenses!
If you’ve got festive cosplay plans on the horizon, don’t forget to add your coloured contact lenses from Funky Lenses. Choose from a creative selection of crazy lenses and natural contact lenses, depending on your requirements, and make the most of the season! Even if you won’t be cosplaying this season, why not add a pair of feel good contact lenses for Christmas, no matter how you are celebrating?
