Demon Red Contact Lenses

Red eyes are a Halloween classic, but plain red can look a bit flat in photos. The Demon Red Contact Lenses fix that with a black demonic pattern over the red, so the eye has a dark, cracked, scary look rather than being one solid colour.

We use them for demons and devils (obviously), but they're just as good for vampires, possessed characters and dark anime villains. The black detail gives the red some depth, so it looks menacing in person and even better on camera. They're 14.5mm, so slightly bigger than a natural iris, with 40% water content for a comfy, standard feel.

Red contact lenses are one of the most searched colours every October, and this is our pick if you want something with a bit more character than a plain red. They're opaque, so they show up properly on brown eyes.

How we'd wear them

• Black lipstick and dark shadow make the red pattern look even more sinister.
• Red really glows under flash, so take loads of pictures.
• You can see through the clear pupil, but they're for parties, not driving or busy roads.
• Always take them out before sleeping and clean them in fresh solution.

£12.99 a pair, or 2 pairs for £22.99 if a friend wants to match.
