Goth is the big one this Halloween. It walked fashion week, it is all over the feeds, and it went fully mainstream when Pinkchyu, a goth girl, won Drake's dating stream on Kick.
The goth baddie look is pale skin, a big winged liner, a glossy lip, and dark doll eyes that read sweet and a little dangerous at once. Sweet with an edge, that is the trend this year.
Below are the 9 looks everyone is doing, with the lens that nails each. Find the one you already are.
1. Goth baddie and Wednesday: deep doll eyes
This year's gothic look is all about dark hair, cute features, and mysterious eyes. OtakuLens Exotic Grey transforms dark brown eyes with rich charcoal grey, warm golden-hazel flecks, and a defined dark limbal ring. Its textured pattern creates a smoky, luminous look with subtle blue tones in different lighting. Pair it with winged eyeliner and doll-like makeup for a bold, mysterious gothic aesthetic.
2. Witch, led by Wicked's Elphaba: green colored contacts
The witch is the biggest costume this year and Wicked is why. Elphaba has green eyes in the film, not just green skin, so green is the move. Inspire Emerald is a proper green that still shows up on dark eyes. If you want it softer, or you are doing a Practical Magic witch, go Kryptonite Green.
3. Anime and cosplay: doll eye contacts
Anime is all about big, bright eyes. Eclipse Grey is an icy blue-grey with a strong ring, so it opens the eye right up and reads like a character, not a costume. Going as someone green-eyed, use Kryptonite Green instead.
4. K-Pop Demon Hunters: bold idol eyes
The Huntr/x girls are the cosplay everyone is doing this year, and the look is bold, glossy, full K-pop idol. Rumi leans purple and we do not make a purple, so the closest we have is Sapphire Dust, a cool violet-blue that still pops. Lean into the gloss and the glitter.
5. Avatar: amber and green contacts
Na'vi eyes are a warm amber-gold, and Desire Honey matches it almost exactly, a honey amber that glows against blue face paint. If your Na'vi is one of the green-eyed ones, Inspire Emerald.
6. Vampire, Vampire Diaries vibes: grey colored contacts
Not the pale Twilight kind. This is the Vampire Diaries vampire, looks human, feels dangerous. Crystal Moonlight is our brightest grey and it turns even dark eyes a cold, clear grey. For a warmer, more human version, Sunrise Love. Pale skin and smoky eyes do the rest.
7. Y2K popstar: bright colored contacts
Glossy, bratty, fun. Kryptonite Green is a bright poppy green that keeps the whole look playful instead of serious.
8. Mermaid or siren: blue colored contacts
A siren is meant to pull you in, so let the eyes do it. Honeymoon Ocean goes from bright ocean blue in daylight to a deeper sea blue inside, and it still covers dark eyes.
9. Black and white swan: smoky and icy eyes
This one came straight off TikTok, the black swan, white swan makeup trend where you pick your side, built on Swan Lake and the Black Swan film. White swan is soft and icy, black swan is dark and dramatic. For the white swan, Crystal Moonlight gives a pale, glassy eye. For the black swan, Smokey Greyyen is a smoky grey that holds up under heavy feathered liner.
Do colored contacts work on dark brown eyes?
Yes. Every shade here is high opacity, made to fully cover dark brown eyes, so you get the real colour and not a faint tint sitting over the top.
Are colored contacts safe for Halloween?
Yes, as long as they are proper lenses. A lot of Halloween sites sell blackout lenses that are fully black, white-out lenses that are fully white, big sclera lenses that cover the whole eye, and bright red ones, for vampires, demons and ghosts. They look good in one photo. The problem is you can hardly see out of them. They sit over your pupil or cover the whole eye, so your vision drops and they are uncomfortable, and they are not made to wear for a whole night.
We do not sell any of them, on purpose. We would rather you can see, stay comfortable, and still look like the character. You do not need a lens you cannot see through to transform. Ours cover dark eyes fully and change the colour, but they look real instead of a flat painted print, and you can wear them all night.
So for a vampire, skip the red and wear Crystal Moonlight or Sunrise Love. For a ghost, Crystal Moonlight. Same effect, no blind spots. Whatever you buy, treat them like real lenses, wash your hands, do not share them, and follow the care steps on the listing.
