Skeleton Girl - Halloween Makeup

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.

Coloured 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.

Eurovision 2013

It comes around every year, and whether you love it or loathe it, the power of the Eurovision Song Contest cannot be denied. Fans all over Europe (and the world, thanks to the live streaming on the internet) will be cheering on their country, no matter how amazing or amazingly awful their country’s representing song happens to be.

Support Your Country!

As always, fans of the contest will be getting together to watch the show, pig out on junk food, and bite their nails as the votes come in at the end of the night. Games such as Eurovision Bingo, drinking games, and keeping a scorecard are common. Groups who gather together at the home of a mutual friend or at a specific venue will invariably hail from different countries, and want to show their support in a good-natured way. Have a look at our eclectic Flag Contact Lenses. Hot-blooded Italian? Pop a pair of Italy Flag Contact Lenses on to your eyes and cheer your country on.

Star Trek's Lt Commander Data

Yes, Star Trek keeps boldly going on – and on. The franchise has accumulated over 540 hours of screen time – that’s including television episodes and movies. So how is that broken down?

Star Trek, the original series – 79 episodes, 6 movies

Star Trek, the animated series – 2 episodes

Star Trek: the Next Generation – 178 episodes, 4 movies

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – 176 episodes

Star Trek: Voyager – 172 episodes

Star Trek: Enterprise – 98 episodes.

Let’s not forget the 2009 movie reboot, nattily entitled Star Trek – starring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto – a huge hit for Paramount which propelled the floundering franchise into warp drive. With the latest incarnation of the Gene Roddenberry’s intergalactic baby, Into Darkness (released today in the UK), that makes for twelve motion pictures in total. And there’s no end in sight.

We’ve all seen a really cool music video and thought ‘where can I get that look?’ well we’ve found three fantastic styles which will look incredible at parties. Our amazing range of colored contact lenses will totally transform your look and will immediately grab everyone’s attention.

There are events and then there are events. And then there are zombie events. If you haven’t heard, they do exist, and, just like the fictional shambling hordes themselves, are growing in number. Want to dress the part and get involved? Halloween Contact Lenses as the final touch to your zombie ensemble.

Just imagine it – you leave your home one morning for school or work, orange juice or coffee recently gulped , and there before you are hundreds upon hundreds of moaning, groaning undead citizens dragging themselves down the avenue. Not exactly something you see every day. But that could be because you’re not looking hard enough.

This is a ‘zombie crawl’ (or zombie walk). From New York to Copenhagen, cities have been witnessing these annual fan events for the past decade.

Zombie Halloween Contact Lenses

But it doesn’t stop there. As well as annual zombie crawls, there are zombie survival camps. Sign up, grab a weapon, and prepare to be attacked! By actors of course, all in the trademark torn clothes, bloody limbs, and green-eyed stares we have come to expect from the undead. During the week, attendees learn how to shoot a crossbow, coordinate survival techniques, and to best to outrun zombie invaders.

But if you simply don’t have the time or inclination to find and participate in large scale events such as these, there is always the tried-and-tested Halloween party. Arrive in gory style dressed in blood-stained rags, torn skin, and hair that might not look out of place on a coconut. Or why not throw a totally zombie-themed party? The ripped clothing and fake gore will be easy enough to achieve. But what about those cloudy, undead eyes?

YouKnowIt.com has every possible variety of colored contact lenses, including a delightfully dead-eyed zombie lens range. Pick ‘em out, pop ‘em in, and knock ‘em dead. A bite to the face will work just as well.

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?
