Whether you’re transforming into a supernatural being or becoming a member of the undead, adding a pair of mesh or blind contact lenses is a simple and highly effective way to enhance your creepy vibe. The full coverage appearance of these contact lenses completely transforms the look of your human eye into something that immediately draws the attention of others; covering the pupil with a blind eye lens disguises your natural iris and creates an unhuman finish.
Blind and mesh contact lenses provide a similar result, however, they aren’t exactly the same. Blind effect contact lenses are complete with an opaque surface; these lenses cover the natural iris and pupil completely so that very little light can enter. On the other hand, Mesh Contact Lenses feature a grid-like surface that allows light to enter through the very small holes in the contact lens design. Whilst these lenses feature slightly different designs, they both provide a blind eye effect that is particularly popular around Halloween time.

Here’s some of the most popular makeup looks to create using blind or mesh contact lenses:
- Zombie
- Alien
- Mummy
- Vampire
- Witch
This style of lens is often chosen as a favorite for many different events, however, when purchasing either blind or mesh contact lenses, you should consider the effect that these will have on your overall vision. Due to the limited amount of light that mesh and blind lenses allow through, vision is incredibly limited, if not zero. As we’ve mentioned above, mesh lenses do feature small holes so you can get a very small amount of broken vision when wearing these, however this is minimal. Blind contact lenses do not feature a pupil hole or any sort of pattern that will allow light through so vision is extremely limited when wearing these.
Whilst blind lenses are a popular option for Halloween, they are also often used in the world of cosplaying. Here, Funky Lenses affiliate @babyshivers has used the Blind Red Contact Lenses to complete this Scarlet Witch cosplay look. As shown in Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness, the Scarlet Witch appearance features glowing red eyes making the red eye contact lenses a great option for this look!
Makeup doesn’t always have to be a character or a theme, you can also be inspired by your own surroundings. @leahcomptonn created this beautiful makeup look inspired by the colors and patterns formed underwater. Leah chose to complete this look by adding a single white mesh contact lens to the side of her makeup that strongly depicts the appearance of water.
