Vampire contact lenses are now worn at times other than Halloween !
Vampire contacts are perfect for giving life to your costume if you are keen on attending your next Halloween party as Dracula. Vampires have seen resurgence in popularity with the recent showing of Van Helsing and Twilight making it even more appealing to dress up as a vampire to scare your friends. These dramatic theatrical contact lenses come in many colors and some types will even glow in the dark.
There are few styles of costume contact lenses that make as dramatic of an impression as the new types of vampire contact lenses. There are a few different types of vampire contacts available. Red used to be the most popular but owing to the incredible fan base of the twilight series of books and films, this is changing.
Black Vampire colored contacts!
Vampire contact lenses come in a variety of colours to help set the tone or mood of your costume. One of the most popular options is the complete eye contact that literally makes the entire eye a deep, soulless black.
This appearance is incredible and goes well with all Halloween or theatre costumes but also is a great addition for those that enjoy the Gothic scene. Since these contacts cover the whites of your eyes as well as the iris and pupil the entire eye's surface appears to be black. With the right make-up, including heavy back eyeliner, this is an incredibly captivating look.
Red Vampire colored contacts!
Another popular option with vampire themed contact lenses is the red lens. These lenses add a vibrant red colour to the iris which will completely cover your natural eye colour. They are effective if you have lighter blue eyes or dark brown or green eyes. Red eyes on a vampire are used to symbolize feasting or the hunt, and with their almost radiant colour you will certainly find yourself the centre of the conversation.
Vampire contact lenses will not actually impair
your vision. Even when these colored contact lenses that cover your entire
eye with a red and black color will not make you see everything in red.
The red colour on these scary contact lenses is only an external decorative
color which will not actually change your vision.
Golden Vampire colored contacts!
The glow in the dark vampire contacts are especially eerie and are very popular at
rave parties and amongst teenagers. Particular types of vampire contacts
are all white and glow in the dark.
When these lenses are not
in the dark they have a slightly luminescent green glow about them and
because your iris is missing they look particularly scary.
Of course you don't have to stay just with the basics you can add variations for special effects lenses that will add to your vampire or gothic wardrobe. To ensure you get a
long life out of your vampire contact lenses, you will need to take
proper care of them including keeping them clean and storing them correctly.
As your theatrical contact lenses are going to make direct contact with
your eyes, ensure they are cleaned thoroughly and disinfected between
each use. Do not share them around with other people. Consult the usage
information for the correct hygiene instructions to avoid any potential
problems.
