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.

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.

May the Fourth Be With You! Thanks to that now famous play on words, May the 4th has now become every year’s official Star Wars day. So, time to think of parties, costume events, and anywhere else where you can dress up and flaunt your inner Wookiee. And we have the colored contact lenses to complete your look.

These days, you expect to see a new, thoroughly eye-popping special effects movie released virtually every week. Aliens, strange worlds, and weird science now permeate film culture. But we’d still be watching disaster movies and flicks about giant sharks if it weren’t for the one film that started it all.

Star Wars Colored Contact Lenses

When Star Wars exploded on the scene back in 1977, nobody knew just how much it would take a hold of the world, or for how long. Just when the buzz began to die down, writer/director George Lucas announced it would be a trilogy. Then, somewhere along the line, he let it drop that there would be six films in all. Star Wars fandom was well and truly established, with conventions and costume parties revving up and gaining momentum. But it didn’t end there.

After the original trilogy had been and gone – twenty years passed slowly by. Just when fans thought there would be no more adventures set in a galaxy far, far away, along came the prequels – a new trilogy which explored Darth Vader’s formative years before he swapped his blond hero-locks for that scuba helmet from Hell. And so, in 2005, the prequels had their run. Save for a couple of animated spin-offs, it seemed certain that the Saga’s fate was sealed. The prospect of new films was light-years away. George Lucas retired. That, it seemed, was that.

Star Wars Anakin

Darth Maul Contact Lenses

Star Wars Darth Maul

But fans got the surprise of their lives when the internet was set alight by news that the big GL had sold the franchise to Disney for more money than even Han Solo could imagine, and that new films would start rolling out by 2015. Fans could scarcely believe their luck. More films were only around the corner, scheduled for release on consecutive years—and perhaps forever more.

Partiers, rejoice! There is now even more reason to dress up as your favorite Star Wars character, attend that convention, or spearhead that themed party. Then there is the Star Wars Celebration (which takes place every year in the US and Europe, attracting thousands of devoted fans). Stride into the event dressed as Darth Maul, or maybe as lava-eyed dark apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. Then, of course, there is a whole host of intergalactic aliens to choose from—and this is where colored contacts really come into their own when your own baby blues just seem too boringly human.
