Choosing Colored Contacts At Halloween

Are you considering wearing colored contact lenses to enhance your Halloween costume even further this year, but you’re struggling to know where to start? We’ve got you covered! Halloween is the perfect time to use contact lenses to completely transform your look. There are plenty of different styles and colors to choose from that make great options for the occasion, but how do you choose the right pair for the costume that you have envisioned? 

Once you have your costume chosen for this year, consider elements like your costume's character; what color eyes do they have? Or, are you cosplaying a creature from the undead or one that is truly powerful and evil? A pair of Halloween colored contact lenses is a great way of visually sharing the abilities and personality of your chosen character through your appearance. At Funky Lenses, our collection is complete with a wide range of colorful and interesting designs that are sure to make your costume look unique, however you choose to celebrate the spooky season!

Before you begin your journey choosing the most appealing lens for you, it’s important that you first understand the safety of wearing contact lenses and also the type of lenses available. You’ll find on each of our product pages that there is a diameter and base curve measurement, which provides the sizing information of the specific lens you are looking at; ensuring your own optical measurements match these will allow a comfortable experience whilst wearing the contacts. You can easily get your optical measurements from your optician! You will also notice a duration type; we offer both daily and multiday contact lenses, so you can choose a pair that meets your longevity needs. 

Now that you know what to look for before purchasing, here are our essential contact lens safety tips so that you can enjoy a successful, comfortable, and safe Halloween:

• Both daily and 30 day contact lenses should be removed from their blister packs or vials and placed in fresh multipurpose solution within a sterile contact lens case to soak for a minimum of 2 hours before inserting.
• Handle your contact lenses with clean hands, washed with warm water and unfragranced soap.
• Contact lenses should be worn for a maximum of 8 hours per day.
• Contact lenses should not be worn when sleeping, in the shower, or during sporting activities.
• Daily contact lenses should be disposed of after a single use.
• Multi-day contact lenses can be worn for up to 30 days from the day of opening. Once you have reached 30 days, they should be disposed of. 
• Multi-day lenses should be gently cleaned using multipurpose solution once taken out, and stored in a tightly sealed lens case submerged in fresh solution.
• Do not clean your contact lenses with saliva, household products, or water.
• Do not stack your contact lenses. Only one should be worn in each eye at one time.

Picking your color and design

Now that you have a good understanding of how to choose and look after your contact lenses, let’s get onto the fun part and pick the color and design you are looking for! The best Halloween contact lenses will help to inspire your Halloween costume, if you haven’t already made that decision, with their vibrant colors and individual designs. 

White colored contact lenses

A classic choice for the Halloween season, white colored contact lenses are an effective option if you are looking for spooky contact lenses to terrify your friends at this year's event. Their inhuman and eerie appearance complements a range of costumes, providing a possessed or lifeless effect. Popular costumes to pair your white contact lenses with Halloween include: 

• Zombie
• Alien 
• Ghost
• Creepy doll

The Funky Lenses white contact lenses range includes both stylish and creepy designs, which makes them an extremely popular choice at Halloween. A pair of these lenses can immediately transform your overall look with the blink of an eye; some of our most popular designs include the White Mini Sclera contacts and Zombie White Contact Lenses. Both of these designs cover the tone of the natural iris with their opaque pigmentation and include a pupil hole so that full vision will remain intact during wear. The Mini Sclera lenses feature a larger diameter than other lenses by around 0.3mm, creating a seamless blend with the natural sclera and enhancing their monstrous appearance. 

White out contact lenses are also an extremely popular option for the spooky season. Our White Blind Contact Lenses and White Mesh Contact Lenses create an incredibly alternative and deathly gaze as they cover the entirety of the natural eye, including the pupil. Due to their high coverage, vision is significantly limited when wearing these contact lenses; the mesh lenses do feature a grid-like surface, which allows small amounts of light to enter; however, vision is still limited. We recommend wearing only one of these contact lenses and wearing a different design that allows for full vision in the other eye, or you could keep the blind or mesh lenses for use at a spooky photoshoot you have planned! 

Black colored contact lenses

Create a demonic transformation this Halloween by adding a pair of black eye contacts for Halloween. The deep and bold tone of these lenses is undeniably a Halloween must-have if your plan includes going all out on your costume this year! The dramatic effect that this lens color creates is sure to set you apart from the rest and enhance your truly terrifying appearance at this year’s event. 

Keep things simple yet effective with the Blackout Black Costume Lenses. These bold lenses cover the natural iris whilst still allowing full vision with a clear pupil hole. Alternatively, if drama is your thing, try the Blind Black Contact Lenses to completely cover the natural iris and pupil and create that creepy illusion. Just as with the White Blind lenses, these should not be worn in both eyes at the same time, as vision will be significantly limited; swap one out for a different style like our Demon Black Cosplay Contact Lenses. This lens features a jagged limbal ring and enhances the evil qualities of your character. 

Here are just a few of our favorite Halloween costume options for Black horror contact lenses: 

• Demon
• Skeleton
• Vampire
• Clown 

Yellow colored contact lenses

Enhance the supernatural qualities of your chosen character with our range of yellow lenses. Choosing a pair of yellow Halloween contact lenses is a great option if you want to increase the appearance of magic and immortality in your look. Their vibrant appearance sets them far apart from natural human eye colors, in turn, creating an intense feel. Many different Halloween characters wear yellow eyes. Some of which are evil and scary, others may even be superheroes:

• The Nun
• Werewolf
• Witch
• Mystique
• Simba

Yellow lenses are great for feline or predatory costumes. The Cat’s Eye Yellow Costume Contact Lenses transform the natural eye with their bright yellow iris and vertical pupil design, placed to disguise the appearance of the natural round pupil. Our Cat eye contacts for Halloween are also available with our unique UV-reactive feature; these special effects contact lenses are designed to glow under black light, so you can take your look an extra step further. On the other hand, you’ll also find specific character lenses in this color range, such as our Avatar Yellow Cosplay Contact Lenses, a great option for your Na’vi costume, or our Valak Cosplay Contact Lenses, which complete our demon costume from The Nun. 

Red colored contact lenses

Give your eyes a devilish gleam with a pair of red Halloween contact lenses. Choose from a selection of red hues, from vibrant shades to deep blood red colors, to give your gaze an intriguing yet disturbing appearance. Many different costumes are perfectly suited for this colored contact lens type:

• Skull
• Vampire
• Clown
• Devil

Explore our red Halloween contact lenses online for vampiric designs such as our Twilight Volturi Contact Lenses, featuring a shattered black and red design that imitates the thirst for blood we see so often in the movies. Another black and red design that is well-loved for its demonic appearance is the Lucifer Red Cosplay Contact Lenses. Alternatively, red contact lenses are particularly popular for anime characters; find styles such as the Ninja Sensei Red Cosplay Contact Lenses or Shinobi Eye Red Contact Lenses to complete your fighting anime character look.
