As Halloween creeps closer, everyone’s starting to think about their costumes. Whether you’re aiming for something scary, bold, or straight out of your favourite movie, the right accessories can take your look to the next level. And what better way to make a statement than with coloured contact lenses?
At Mesmereyez, we’ve got the coolest and most affordable coloured contact lenses in Australia, perfect for creating that unforgettable Halloween look. But before we dive into costume ideas, let’s chat about something super important—are coloured contact lenses safe to wear?
Are Coloured Contact Lenses Safe?
The short answer: Yes! As long as you buy from reputable brands like Mesmereyez, coloured contact lenses are perfectly safe to wear. In fact, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality lenses that are not only fun but also gentle on your eyes. Whether you’re looking for a natural enhancement or something more dramatic (like our spooky yellow contact lenses), you’re in good hands.
However, like anything you put in or on your body, it’s important to use them correctly. Always follow the instructions for cleaning, storing, and wearing the lenses. If you’ve never worn contact lenses before, it might feel a little weird at first, but you’ll get the hang of it quickly. And, of course, if you have any concerns, consult with your optometrist before trying out any new lenses.
Are Coloured Contact Lenses Bad for Your Eyes?
This is a common worry, especially for first-time wearers, but the truth is, coloured contact lenses are not bad for your eyes—again, as long as you’re using high-quality products like the ones from Mesmereyez. The key is making sure they’re worn correctly and kept clean. Poor hygiene or wearing lenses longer than recommended can lead to irritation, which is why we emphasize proper care.
When you’re handling your lenses, always wash your hands first. Store them in a clean lens case with fresh solution, and never share your lenses with others (yes, even if they’re your bestie and want to borrow them for a killer look). Treat them well, and they’ll treat your eyes well, too.
Are Coloured Contact Lenses Dangerous?
The idea of putting something in your eye can seem a bit daunting, but coloured contact lenses are no more dangerous than regular contacts. The key to safety is where you’re getting them from. Avoid buying cheap lenses from unverified sources, as these might not meet safety standards.
At Mesmereyez, our coloured contact lenses—including our striking yellow contact lenses—are designed with your safety in mind. Each pair is crafted with high-quality materials and undergoes strict testing to ensure they’re safe and comfortable to wear. Plus, our lenses are designed to be breathable and allow oxygen to flow through to your eyes, so you can rock your look all night long without discomfort.
Costume Ideas Featuring Yellow Contact Lenses
Now that you know how safe and easy it is to wear coloured contact lenses, let’s talk about how you can use them to level up your Halloween costume. One of the most versatile and striking options we have in stock right now are our yellow contact lenses. Yellow is bold, bright, and works perfectly with a range of costume ideas, from iconic movie characters to creepy Halloween classics.
Pennywise the Clown (It): If you’ve seen It, you know Pennywise’s terrifying yellow eyes are one of his most distinctive features. With yellow contact lenses from Mesmereyez, you can capture that same eerie look. Pair them with a red wig and a clown costume, and you’re all set to scare anyone who crosses your path.
Werewolf: Yellow contact lenses are ideal for creating a fierce werewolf look. Think glowing animalistic eyes, sharp teeth, and a tattered shirt or fur. You could take inspiration from Teen Wolf or even the classic werewolves from Twilight. Either way, yellow eyes add that extra "grrrr" factor to your look.
Kill Bill’s Elle Driver: For a less scary and more fierce option, go for Elle Driver’s badass vibe from Kill Bill. With her iconic eye patch and bold attitude, Elle’s a killer costume choice. Adding yellow lenses gives your take on the character a dramatic flair that’ll make your costume stand out.
Minions: Want to keep things cute and playful? Channel the Minions from Despicable Me! Their adorable yellow faces and goggle-covered eyes can be recreated with our yellow contact lenses. It’s a fun and unique way to incorporate lenses into a costume without going the spooky route.
Anime Characters: Anime is full of characters with eye-catching, otherworldly looks. Characters like Naruto’s Nine-Tails form or Fullmetal Alchemist’s homunculus Greed have glowing yellow eyes that make them instantly recognizable. For anime fans, yellow contact lenses can take your cosplay to the next level.
Are Coloured Contact Lenses Safe to Wear Long-Term?
Another question we often get asked is whether coloured contact lenses are safe to wear for extended periods. The answer? Yes, but it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. Each type of contact lens comes with a recommended wear time, so if you’re planning to rock your yellow contact lenses all night at a Halloween party, make sure you’re not exceeding that limit. Typically, lenses are safe to wear for up to 8 hours, but if you start to feel any discomfort, it’s a good idea to take them out.
Always remove your lenses before going to bed, even if you’re super tired after a fun night out. Sleeping in your lenses can cause dryness, irritation, and in some cases, even infections. So, as tempting as it might be, make sure to take them out and store them properly before hitting the pillow.
