Red contact lenses for Halloween, vampires and anything a bit evil

Nothing changes a face quite like red eyes. We've worn red lenses to Halloween parties, a Dracula themed birthday and more cons than we can count, and they get a reaction every single time. Even with a really simple costume, a pair of red contacts does most of the work for you.

For a classic vampire, Block Red Contact Lenses are a solid red all the way across, so they look properly unnatural even on dark brown eyes. Red Manson Contact Lenses add a black ring round the edge, which makes the stare look sharper in photos. Want something nastier? Red Crack Contact Lenses and Demon Red Contact Lenses have black patterns over the red that look brilliant with fake blood and pale makeup.

Red contacts for cosplay and anime

A huge chunk of our red contacts are character lenses. Naruto fans have a full set of sharingan options, from Kakashi Hatake Sharingan Contact Lenses to Itachi Uchiha Mangekyō Sharingan Contact Lenses. Demon Slayer cosplayers often go for Tanjiro Kamado Demon Slayer Contact Lenses, and there's Marin Kitagawa for My Dress Up Darling and Ruby Hoshino for Oshi No Ko.

If you just need red eyes for an original character or a less common series, Anime Red Contact Lenses and Red Vortex Contact Lenses are a safe bet. They're bright, clean and look great on camera without being tied to one character.

Film and horror characters with red eyes

Red isn't just for anime. Pennywise Contact Lenses are a favourite for an IT clown costume, and the Sith Contact Lenses (Darth Maul) mix yellow and red for that proper dark side glare. Red Cat Eye Contact Lenses work for demons, dragons and devil horns at a house party. If you're going as a newborn vampire from Twilight, Twilight Bella Red Contact Lenses are made for exactly that.

Red contact lenses that cover dark eyes

Red is harder to show on brown eyes than blue or green, so pigment really matters. The solid designs like Block Red, Flame Red and Bullseye Red cover the most. Lenses with a lot of see through detail can look a bit darker and more maroon on very dark eyes indoors, which honestly suits a vampire look anyway.

Most of our red lenses are 14.5mm, a touch bigger than your natural iris, so they look bold and a little dramatic. That's what you want for Halloween.

A quick word on vision

Almost all of our red contact lenses have a clear pupil, so you can see normally. A few don't. Madara Uchiha Naruto Contact Lenses, Kyōjurō Rengoku Demon Slayer Contact Lenses, Red Mesh Sclera Contact Lenses and Red Manson Mesh Contact Lenses cover or partly cover the pupil, so they're for photos and posing, not for driving, stairs or wandering round a busy con hall. We'd always rather you knew before you buy.

Our styling tip: red eyes look best with a little red or dark shadow under the lower lash line. It makes the colour look like it's glowing. Keep the rest of the face pale and you're sorted.

Look after them like any lens. Clean hands, fresh solution, a clean case and never sleep in them. Our red lenses are non prescription and 1 year wear, £12.99 a pair, and you can mix any 2 pairs for £22.99 or 3 for £31.99.

Red Contact Lenses FAQs

Do red contact lenses work on brown eyes?
Yes, but pick a lens with plenty of colour. Block Red, Flame Red and Bullseye Red are solid designs that cover dark eyes well. Lenses with lots of fine detail can look more of a deep maroon on very dark eyes, especially indoors. In daylight and on camera, the red usually comes through more.
Are red contact lenses safe?
Our red contact lenses are CE certified, and they're as safe as any contact lens when you look after them. Always wash your hands, use fresh solution, keep a clean case and never sleep in them. Don't share them with anyone. If your eyes go sore or red, take them out and leave them out.
Can you see out of red contacts?
With most of them, yes, completely normally. They have a clear pupil in the middle. Madara Uchiha, Kyōjurō Rengoku and the red mesh lenses are different, as they cover or partly cover the pupil and will blur or block your vision. Save those for photos, not driving or walking round busy events.
What red contact lenses look most like a vampire?
Block Red Contact Lenses are our classic vampire choice because they're solid red all over. Red Manson adds a black outer ring for a harder stare. For Twilight fans, Twilight Bella Red Contact Lenses copy the newborn vampire look from Breaking Dawn. A bit of pale foundation and dark lipstick finishes it off.
How long can you wear red contact lenses for?
In one go, we'd say up to about 8 hours, less if your eyes feel dry. Take them out before you sleep, even after a long party. Overall our red lenses are 1 year wear, so you can use the same pair for every Halloween and con for a year if you clean them properly.
Do red contacts hurt your eyes?
They shouldn't. Coloured lenses feel the same as clear ones once they're in. If one stings, it could be inside out, have a bit of dust or makeup on it, or need a rinse. Take it out, rinse it in fresh solution and pop it back in. If it still feels wrong, don't force it.
Are red contacts good for cosplay?
They're some of the most used lenses in cosplay. We have sharingan lenses for Naruto, Tanjiro and Rengoku for Demon Slayer, Marin Kitagawa, Ruby Hoshino and the Sith lenses for Darth Maul. Practise putting them in before the day, and bring your case and solution with you in your con bag.
Can I buy red contact lenses without a prescription in the UK?
Yes. Our red lenses are plano, which means 0.00 power, so they don't correct eyesight and you don't need a prescription to buy them. If you normally wear glasses, you'll still need your glasses on top. If you've got any eye conditions, check with an optician first.
How much are red contact lenses?
All our red contact lenses are £12.99 for a pair. If you want a second colour, any 2 pairs are £22.99, so a red pair and a white pair for Halloween works out nicely. Orders placed before 2pm on a working day go out the same day with next day delivery.
What makeup goes with red contacts?
Keep the skin pale and let the eyes do the talking. A smudge of red or burgundy shadow along the lower lash line makes red contacts look like they're glowing. Black liner sharpens them for a vampire look. Put your lenses in before your makeup so nothing gets on them.
