What should I do for my cosplay?

Now that you know where you’re going, your next step is finding a cosplay look. Maybe you’re a long-time cosplayer, with plenty of looks under your belt. Or maybe this is your first time experimenting with cosplay. Either way, there’s always something new and exciting to try, and the best place to start is the eyes. With our Coloured Contacts lenses, you can pick a fun, crazy style for your eyes, and base an entire look around it. 

Our talented affiliates do this kind of thing every day, incorporating our lenses into their cosplay looks.

Here are a couple of our favorites to give you some inspiration:

 

This fairy look by @justjaimehansell is a stunning style perfect for any event! Bold and striking with detailed green makeup, and finished off with gorgeous butterfly detailing, this fairy look is absolutely to die for. @justjaimehansell is using our Aqua Blue Ice Walker Lenses here, matching their beautiful blue-green color to her makeup. And you can do the same! A look like this, based on a generic idea like ‘fairy’, would be perfect for any con. Follow @justjaimehansell’s example, and find a gorgeous colored lens to inspire your cosplay look.

  

This terrifying cosplay look by @causeandfxmakeup is much more specific. Based on Billy the Puppet, the iconic character from the Saw franchise, this spooky costume uses black, white, and red makeup to construct the perfect cosplay look. @causeandfxmakeup is using our Red Angelic Vampire Lenses here to match the red details of the makeup look. If you want to cosplay a specific character like this, why not take a look at our costume ranges, where we have plenty of lenses based on fictional characters?

 

Finally, this look by @sallyquinncreations is the best of both worlds. Here, our wonderful affiliate is mixing two characters from different universes into a single stunning look. Sally Stitches from The Nightmare Before Christmas and Captain Marvel from the MCU are two characters with nothing in common, and yet @sallyquinncreations melds them together to create a striking and unique look! This cosplay is finished off perfectly by our White Out Contact Lenses, which add a touch of Sally Stitches’ spookiness while still fitting Captain Marvel’s color palette. So, why not follow @sallyquinncreations’ lead and create a character that is entirely your own? Whether you want to mix two existing characters or create someone from scratch, this summer is the best time to let your creativity run wild.
