Halloween is the best season to try colored contacts as you can wear styles that are as creepy and bold as they get. From vibrant colors to gory effects, anything goes for Halloween; you can choose a costume for any character you like from a classic zombie to your favorite movie character.
Halloween colored contacts come in a range of designs from solid block colors in red, white, and black to character designs such as Darth Maul. Here are our top 5 Halloween contact lens looks that will give you the most versatility when it comes to pairing them with your costume.
White Halloween Colored Contacts
White Halloween Colored Contacts completely blank out the iris leaving only your pupil surrounded by a ghostly eye. This effective SFX lens is popular for creating a variety of Halloween characters such as zombies, ghosts, and skeletons. If you want to take your special effects to the next level, you can even swap out your regular white zombie contacts for a pair of White Blind Effect Lenses to completely blank out the iris and pupil – just remember, the blind effect contacts will limit your vision too.
Black Mini Sclera Colored Contacts
There are many designs of black Halloween colored contacts available but our go-to is the Black Mini Sclera Colored Contacts. Makeup artists love them due to the extra large diameter that adds something super spooky to the look of the eye. Plus, they are easier to insert than full sclera colored contacts. A deep black iris is perfect for pairing with all kinds of Halloween characters such as spiders, demons, and Horror movie characters.
Orange Werewolf Colored Contacts
Orange is an essential part of the Halloween season color palette which is why the Orange Werewolf Coloured Contacts are in our top 5. While you can stick to traditional wolf makeup with the Orange Werewolf Lenses, they also pair perfectly with pumpkin costumes, Pennywise The Clown re-creations, and fiery ghouls.
Red Crazy Clown Colored Contacts
Red Crazy Clown is a blend between yellow and red that is super popular for pairing with clown costumes and vampire fancy dress but can also double as Sith Eyes (alternatively, check out Darth Maul Contact Lenses). This vibrant design is effective for Halloween looks and has even been used to create characters such as Regan from the Exorcist or Fiery from Labyrinth.
White Manson Colored Contacts
There’s something super freaky about the way the White Manson Colored Contacts look. The white pupil is lined with a thick black outer ring to create an eye-catching iris. This style looks amazing with clown costumes, skeleton SFX makeup, and characters such as the Corpse Bride.
Choosing Your Halloween Contact Lenses
With hundreds of styles to choose from, you can select lenses that will be suited to many fancy dress costumes or can narrow it down to a single Horror movie character. Choose from classic Halloween colors or think outside the box with costume lenses in shades such as Yellow Avatar, Blue Ice Walker, and Green Hulk.
