Going out on the town and enjoying yourself is always more fun when you enhance the experience – and by that we mean dressing as stylishly as possible. With YouKnowIt’s superb UV Contact Lenses you’re sure to stand out in the crowd!

In the beginning there was the disco. From those bright and shiny days in the mid to late seventies, illuminated by colored spotlights, floor lights, and scintillating reflections from ginormous disco balls making everybody dizzy, it seemed that dance culture had reached its zenith. But gestating throughout the decadent day-glo decades of the seventies and eighties was a new dance culture phenomenon that emerged in the early nineties, now known as rave culture.

Ultra Violet Makes its Début

With dance music more energetic than ever, rave culture grew and became an unstoppable phenomenon. Regular ravers decided to express their love for their culture by taking advantage of technology and introducing UV (ultraviolet) elements to their club nights.

Fluorescent clothing, including shirts, shoes, and even suspenders, were the order of the day. Dancers further embellished their luminescent look with glow sticks, UV bangles, UV necklaces, and UV paint for nails. In some venues, the occasional glowing or flashing shot glass could be spotted at the bar. By the late nineties, larger clubs were beginning to spring up, and the clothing industry took advantage by flooding the market with designer club wear, with the emphasis on UV clothing and accessories.

With self-expression at an all time high with clubbers, the UV rage has reached a new level with glowing contact lenses. Nothing looks quite so striking as being surrounded a sea of glowing eyes! With YouKnowIt’s range of eye-popping UV lenses, you’ll reach the lofty heights of modern rave culture.

Our great range of UV lenses glow brightly under UV light and black light They look great in normal light as well, so you can wear them during the day and be ready to unleash a stunning glow for that party at night! Available in blue, pink, orange, green, violet, yellow, and white.

Halloween (and Halloween parties) comes once a year, but Halloween makeup is for all year round! For some people, Halloween is a bigger deal than Christmas. And for those of you seeking Halloween party ideas make YouKnowIt your first stop for spook-tacular inspiration.

Our lenses look fantastic when worn simply by themselves, but can really make an impact when combined with striking makeup. And, conversely, if you’ve already made up your mind to be a zombie or vampire for Halloween or that upcoming fancy dress, then the best way to enhance your creation is by the addition of a pair of wild and wonderful colored contact lenses! For instance, your vampire outfit and makeup will turn a few heads with the right vampire contact lenses. You are sure to strike fear into everyone who is caught in your mesmeric stare!

The same goes for any zombie or gothic look you wish to achieve. Anyone can apply some simple cream makeup and look as pale and blood-starved as Dracula on a bad night, but the eyes are the windows to the soul – even if your character has no soul!

Halloween is still some months off, but you will want to decide on your perfect persona well in advance, and try out a few makeup and lens combinations to see what is right. After all, your outfit has to be the most shocking of the party!

Quick Makeup Tutorial

• Go for makeup rather than expensive foam prosthetics. It takes far less time to simply paint yourself, and you will have full facial movement.
• For that dead pale look as with the wonderful skeleton girl in the photo all that is needed is inexpensive liquid foundation and white cream makeup, available from most party shops.
• After you have painted your face and achieved that ashen look, use eye shadow to create deep shadowed eye sockets as well as sunken cheeks. Apply the eyeshadow around the eyes with a fluffy brush. You can bring the shading down the sides of your nose to make it appear smaller. Mascara and savage red lipstick complete the makeup application.
• If you want a more professional look, apply ivory foundation first, followed by translucent finisher. Apply to the face with a foundation brush or a slanted kabuki brush. Those skeletal details can be achieved by black cream makeup.

Colored Lenses Complete your Look

And now the finishing touch…colored contact lenses! You can use any lenses from our range of scary lenses. We have enough fabulously freaky Halloween contact lenses to make your head spin – so go have a look at our incredible range. Be it black out contact lenses, blood red contact lenses, or our ever-popular zombie contact lenses, you can’t fail to find the perfect pair for your unique Halloween look. Our mirrored lenses look especially striking, and will give you a look similar to our favorite skeleton girl.

What decent zombie movie would be complete without the dead-eyed gazes of thousands of marauding brain-eaters? Had the special effects wizards not bothered with the application of carefully selected colored contact lenses, the zombie hordes would just look like a bunch of drunks on their way home on a Saturday night. Be it Night of the Living Dead, Zombieland, or the eagerly anticipated film adaptation of the Max Brooks novel, World War Z, you can bet that every staggering deadhead will be sporting those classic soulless stares.

In the film, United Nations employee Gerry Lane—played by Brad Pitt—struggles to find a solution to the worldwide zombie plague that is destroying the very fabric of society.

The film is bound to be a mega hit, and, if the teaser poster is anything to go by, you can expect to see more onscreen zombies than any other movie up to date in this genre. We’re talking millions. Possibly zillions. Wicked.

Okay, so you’re into zombies in big way. You’re jazzed about the film. Maybe you’ve even seen a preview of it by now. Inspired to zombify yourself for next Halloween or for  that themed party coming up on the weekend?

YouKnowIt.com has got you covered. Have a look at our ultra cool sets of zombie lenses. We think you’ll be inspired. Heck, we think you may even end up scaring the pants off your neighbors. Just don’t get so buried in the part that you end up eating their brains. Unless they really deserve it.
