What You Need to Know About Contact Lenses
We asked a handful of Lore Olympus cosplayers their tips and tricks on contact lenses. Here’s what they have to say:
Consult your eye doctor first!
Your contacts should fit your pupils/eye shape comfortably. Some people can’t use them and that’s completely okay. Never sacrifice your eye health for the sake of a cosplay look.
Recommended Brands
There are a lot of options out there for contact lenses and let’s face it, it could be a little bit overwhelming if you’re a beginner. Here are brands that the cosplayers recommend: Honey Color, TTD Eye, Pinky Paradise, Uniqso
Many people use photo manipulation to get the effect they desire
If contact lenses aren’t for you, don’t fret, because Photoshop is also an option! We gathered some tutorials that could help you:
Proper contact lens care is essential
Make sure your hands are clean when you put on your contacts. It’s best if you put them before doing your makeup.
Soak in cleaning solution for 8-12 hours prior to wearing.
Check descriptions! Some are only safe for certain times out of packaging. If you do store for 3+ weeks, take out and re-clean.
NEVER wash in tap water
A good brand for cleaning is Clear care plus with hydraglyde for cleaning and long term storage. Use hydrogen peroxide based cleaning solution before the long term storage.
