Stardust Violet Contact Lenses

Purple eyes don't exist in real life, which is half the fun. Stardust Violet is a purple lens with a glittery, starry finish, and it's probably the most magical looking of the three Stardust shades.

The violet shows up on dark eyes too, and at 14.2mm the lenses sit at a natural size, so the colour looks dreamy rather than cartoonish. In daylight the sparkle really comes alive, and indoors it settles into a softer lilac purple. The 38% water content is a standard comfy level.

These are a big favourite for cosplay. Loads of anime, game and fantasy characters have purple eyes, and the sparkle gives them that otherworldly glow. They're also lovely for a birthday night out with a lilac outfit. If you've been after purple contact lenses or violet contacts, these are a fun one to try.

Styling ideas

• Silver or lilac shimmer on the lid keeps it soft and pretty.
• Gold shadow is great if you want the purple to look even bolder.
• Clear pupil, so your vision stays normal.
• Never sleep in them, and clean them in fresh solution after every wear.

£12.99 a pair, or mix 2 Stardust shades for £22.99.
