Dressing up in costumes for Halloween can be a lot of fun. If you want to give your costume a truly authentic look, contacts may be a great option to consider. There are many options when it comes to cosmetic contacts for you to consider. The guide below walks you through a few ways to complete your Halloween look with cosmetic contacts.

Choose Contacts with the Right Look

When choosing cosmetic contacts to wear for Halloween, it is important to first choose the costume that you want to wear. You want to be sure that the contacts complement the look that you are trying to create so that they finish off the look rather than take away from it. If you want to be a zombie, red or white contacts may be great. If you want to dress as a reptile, contacts that are designed to look like snake eyes may be the right choice. There are also contacts available that make it look as if you have fire, clouds, or even water in your eyes.  

Wear the Contacts before the Big Day

It is important to try on the contacts before the day that you plan to wear them. This will make sure that you can easily get the contacts in and out when you want to wear them. It will also allow you to determine if your eyes will have an adverse reaction to the contacts. If you do have an adverse reaction, your eyes will at least have ample time to be heal before the day you're supposed to wear the costume.

Give Your Eyes Breaks When Needed

It is important to realize that cosmetic lenses are not designed to be worn all day or when you sleep. Be sure to only wear them for a few hours at a time so that they do not irritate your eyes. Do not wear them when you sleep as they could hurt your eyes. If your eyes start to feel very itchy or dry, it may be a sign that your eyes need a break from the contacts.

If you follow these tips, looking great on Halloween with a pair of cosmetic contacts will be a breeze. Be sure to properly store the contacts in a contact case with contact solution between wearing to ensure that the contacts do not dry out and that they are as sanitary as possible when you want to wear them again in the future.
