We’re back again, with the second part of our New Year, New Lenses special! Last time, we looked over 2025, going through all of our top sellers, new products, and best sales. You can read the blog here.
This week, it’s time to look forward. What does 2026 have in store for us? And how can we prepare?
From sales to events to trend predictions, we have plenty to go through, so without further ado, let’s get started!

2026 Bestseller Prediction-
In our last blog, we mentioned that the White Zombie Lenses were our 2025 bestsellers, thanks to their versatile block color. This year, we predict another block-colored bestseller: the Red Vampire Lenses!
These block red contact lenses are perfect for a bloodshot gaze and some vampiric energy. This year, they were in our top three bestsellers, and we predict that they’ll only make their way higher up the list.
When it comes to natural contact lenses, the 2025 top hit was the Sapphire Colored Lenses. This year, we think there’ll be a shift towards green, a color that’s been steadily rising in popularity over the last few months. Green is the rarest eye color, after all, which makes it perfect for harnessing a realistic natural twinkle. In 2026, we think our natural bestsellers will be none other than the Jade Green Lenses.
These gorgeous green contacts are a part of our new jewel range, and are designed to capture a shimmery, gem-like hue, perfect for standing out in a crowd. We wouldn’t be surprised if this precious-toned lens became the star of the show in more ways than one!
2026 Top Trends Prediction-
Thanks to our wonderful affiliates, we always have our eye on the current makeup trends of the day. You can check out their looks on our socials- @colouredcontacts. In 2025, we welcomed plenty of unusual trends, including niche hits like the yarn makeup trend, and more general favourites like the clean-girl aesthetic. With our usual Halloween boom, we also noticed some spooky SFX trends like black-eyed makeup and fake blood gore.
But when it comes to 2026, what trends are going to dominate our Affiliate Gallery? Here are our predictions:
Asymmetrical eyes- this is one that’s already starting to take off. We love using one black lens with a colorful counterpart, or contrasting an outfit with opposing colored eyes!
Pastel comeback- after so much darkness, we’re pretty sure this year will see a big resurgence in bright colors and pastel tones alike.
Glimmer- with our new glamour lenses and jewel range, we’re definitely seeing a trend towards all things shiny and shimmery, and who can blame you? Glimmering eyes will surely brighten up our 2026 forecast!
Dramatic natural looks- this one is a little general, but we predict a shift into using costume lenses for everyday looks; for instance, blending a little clean-girl makeup with cat-eye lenses or UV contacts.
Upcoming Events-
It’s almost time to round off our New Year special, but first, we need to remind you of our upcoming events. First things first- we have Carnival coming up soon, which we’re sure our EU customers will be looking forward to. This Carnival, stay tuned for new reductions, fun products, and more gorgeous affiliate looks than ever!
The same goes for Valentine’s Day, which is next on the agenda. Coming up in a month, Valentine’s Day will be the perfect time for a themed party, so make sure you’re shopping for your novelty lenses in time! We’ll be sure to update you with more news and lens ideas as the holidays draw closer, but for now, make sure you keep an eye on our website and make the most of our wonderful sales to find your ideal party lenses.
New Year, New Lenses- What to Wear in 2026-
Finally, we want to leave you with some general hints and tips for making the most of the 2026 season. This year, we predict there’ll be one style that’s more important than any other: Naturals!
In 2026, it’s all about naturals, naturals, naturals! With more ranges and products than ever, our natural contact lenses section features some unmissable contact lenses, available in a variety of durations, prescriptions, and styles.
This January, it’s time to make a change and transform into your 2026 self. And what better way to do that than by switching up your eye color? Whether you want a dramatic transformation or you’re looking for a subtle glimmer addition to your natural eyes, this is the time to try something new. Shop natural lenses now, and get into the new year mood!
