Petal Purple Contact Lenses

Petal Purple has a little flower pattern round the pupil, and up close it's really pretty. The rest of the iris is a dark, rich purple, so from a distance you get moody violet eyes and then the petals show up when someone gets near.

They're 14.5mm, a touch bigger than a natural iris, which gives a slightly bolder, wide eyed look that works brilliantly for cosplay and Halloween. We've worn them for witches, fairies, a dark elf and a few purple eyed anime characters. Dark purple suits a lot of costumes because it reads as magical without being cartoonish. The 38% water content is our standard comfy level.

If you need purple contact lenses for Halloween or a con, these are a nice change from plain colour lenses. The flower detail looks great in close up photos.

Styling ideas

• Black or deep plum liner keeps the purple looking rich.
• Silver or lilac glitter makes the petals pop in photos.
• Clear centre, so you can see normally through the pupil.
• Wash your hands first, use fresh solution and remove before sleeping.

Petal Purple Contact Lenses are £12.99 a pair, or 2 for £22.99 if you want a second colour for another outfit.
