Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Contact Lenses

Tohru is one of those characters where the eyes really make the cosplay. You can have the maid dress, the horns and the tail all perfect, but without those dragon slit pupils she just looks like a maid with a headband. Pop the lenses in and it all clicks.

Right now this collection is all about Tohru, because she's the one people come to us for. We'd rather do one character properly than rush out a load of so so lenses.

Tohru Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid contact lenses

Tohru Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Contact Lenses have a dragon slit pupil design to match her eyes in the show. They're 14.5mm, which gives a slightly bigger, bolder iris and suits the anime look really well. With 38% water content they're standard and comfy, so you can wear them for a good chunk of a convention day.

The slit is printed in the colour part of the lens, and there's a clear centre over your own pupil, so you can still see. Your side vision can feel a little different with a bold design like this, so take care on stairs and in busy halls.

Putting together a Tohru cosplay

• Wig and brows: a long orange to blonde wig with brows filled in a soft orange looks much more finished than dark brows.
• Make up: a warm red or orange eyeshadow round the outer corners pulls the eye colour out in photos.
• Horns and tail: try everything on with the lenses before the day, so you can see the whole look together.
• Dragon form: the same lenses work brilliantly if you're doing a scalier, more dragon style version for Halloween.

Not just for Dragon Maid fans

Because they're dragon eyes, these lenses work for more than one costume. We've seen them used for dragon and demon looks at Halloween, fantasy cosplay and even reptile style fancy dress. If you want a different colour of slit eye, have a look at our cat eye contact lenses too.

Doing the show as a group? Kanna, Elma and the others don't have their own lenses with us yet, but our wider cosplay contact lenses range has plenty of colours that work well for them.
