Cosplay or ‘costume play’ is increasing in popularity, with more and more people getting involved in the colorful conventioneers every year. Cosplayers love to dress up as their favorite character from fiction, usually from comic books, anime, or films. At hotels and convention centers around the world, thousands of cosplayers get together for fun-filled weekends of harmless play-acting.

Contact lenses allow you to change your look in all kinds of ways. Many people use colored contact lenses to change the color of their eyes, going from blue to black for instance. For party animals and those with an adventurous spirit, animal, vampire, or even robot eyes do the trick. Then there are big eye lenses which are growing in popularity each year.
Anastasiya Shpagina
Also known as circle contact lenses, these striking lenses make the iris appear larger than it actually is. This is ideal if you feel that your peepers need more pop, or if you want to achieve that saucer-eyed look of Japanese manga and anime characters like the popular heroes from Naruto.
Big eye lenses are extremely popular in Japan as well as East Asian nations such as Singapore and South Korea. The rest of the world is catching up fast, and more and more partygoers are spotted wearing these startling lenses.
Ukraine’s Anastasiya Shpagina has achieved YouTube fame with big eye lenses, turning herself into a real-life anime heroine.

Fan of Arnie’s most famous role? With our incredible selection of Terminator lenses you can feel just like an invincible robot from the future!
Terminator - "I told you I'd be back!"
When The Terminator first hit our cinema screens back in 1984, the world had no idea just how much of an impact it would have. The film, about a time-travelling cyborg, gave Arnold Schwarzenegger his greatest role. Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and Terminator Salvation were to follow. While he was in London recently for the UK release of The Last Stand, he stated that he will be appearing in Terminator 5.
Now that Schwarzenegger has confirmed that the fifth instalment of the Terminator series will soon be in production, cyborg fans can rejoice! Celebrate in style with colored contact lenses and reinvent yourself as the Terminator himself or one of his many cybernetic, time-jumping foes. YouKnowIt has a mind-blowing range of Terminator contact lenses and other special effects contact lenses to make that costume party one you’ll never forget!
Blow Them Away With Our Lenses!
With YouKnowIt, you can feel free to express your love of the Terminator franchise in all manner of ways. With your text lenses, your eyes will say it all, with the famous catchphrases ‘I’ll Be Back‘ and ‘Hasta La Vista‘ printed right on the lenses! For fans of picture lenses, choose our Terminator Machine Head lenses, which features the Terminator endoskeleton skull. Consider also the great Terminator Android or Terminator Assassin lenses. But if you really want to look the part, pop a pair of our frighteningly authentic Robot Eye lenses on to your eyes and pretend you have the T-800’s burning infra-red stare! Whichever lenses you choose, you’re sure to turn a lot of heads, and perhaps even have some of your friends diving for cover!
If a zombie attack is your idea of a fun time, then you’re probably a fan of the hit movie, Warm Bodies. And with YouKnowIt’s cool colored contact lenses, you don’t have to wait to die to get in on the action.
The zom-rom-com, starring Nicholas Hoult as the zombie named simply ‘R’, is a tongue-in-cheek romantic comedy – a dead-funny turn on Romeo and Juliet and based on the novel by Isaac Marion.
The film will be released on DVD and Blu Ray on June 4th in America and June 17th in the UK – and as soon as they hit the streets, zombies will be the gray-eyed focus of hordes of fans yet again.
That Undead Look
When it comes to costume parties,Halloween, or a zombie-themedevent, you have to look the part. Old, torn clothes are easy enough to come by (or create).
That pallid gray-green skin can be achieved by the application of white or green cream make-up available from most party shops.
But that hardly makes you a believable zombie. Home-made costumes are becoming more and more elaborate, so to really stand out you have to go the whole nine yards. If you want to really get the public screaming and running for the hills, pop a pair of YouKnowIt’s zombie lenses onto your peepers and get that freshly-dead, ferocious stare of the discerning brain eater. You’ll look just like you’ve stepped out of one of your favorite zombie movie, perhaps even an extra from Warm Bodies!
To many people, the way they look is extremely important. How others perceive us affects how we perceive ourselves. There are many things that can be done to one’s outward appearance, including a whole new wardrobe, new hairstyle, or how we carry ourselves. The eyes are the window to the soul (as they say), and there is a lot to be said for eye color as well. Colored contacts are your ticket to a new you!
Most of us are happy with our eye color, or simply don’t make an issue of it. But for others, the eye color that they are born with is of great concern. It may be just a case of preference, for instance, having been born with blue eyes when green eyes are desired, or having deep brown peepers when baby blues are one’s secret wish.
Transform Your Look
YouKnowIt knows it! Our astounding range of colored contact lenses aren’t just for parties – they can change your look, mood, and help you to feel more confident. If you desire those deep, alluring blue eyes, we have many – including our mesmerizing Edit Mystic Blue Contact Lenses. If blue is your favorite color, and you associate it with confidence, style, and an outgoing nature, then these fantastic lenses are for you!
But if blues and greens aren’t your thing, or you just fancy a change, consider our range of dark lenses, including the deep and mysterious Edit Black Contact Lenses. Adopt that penetrating stare, or wear them so that they match black or brown hair. You may even find that people notice you more, and change their attitude towards you for the better.
What if you were born with eyes that are differing colors – such as one blue and one green – and wish to unify your look with eyes that are the same color? Then it is easy to find what you need from YouKnowIt’s range and get the look you want. Alternatively, if you want to have non-matching eyes (like David Bowie!) then the addition of a single lens of a different color to your own will easily achieve a unique, attention-grabbing effect. The choice is yours!

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 knownas rave culture.
Ultra Violet Makes its Début
UV Contact Lenses
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.
Weird and wonderful events are a fantastic way to show off your colored contact lenses and have a fantastic time. Freaky contacts are always fun, but the fun is supercharged when used as part of a themed event, where you can slip into a whole new personality and really go wild.
Zombie Lenses for a Zombie Wedding
Zombie Themed Wedding
It’s not every day you see a throng of growling, grey-eyed undead figures shambling their way along an urban setting. But that is exactly what happened in London earlier this year when young Liverpool couple, Jennifer Jones and Rob Blackmore, decided to claw at the face of convention and tie the knot in the UK’s first zombie wedding.
The couple, their guests, and even the ‘priest’ were completely and disgustingly decked-out in delightfully-dreary attire, grey skin paint, and soulless eyes. The event was a complete success, and the party afterwards was anything but ‘dead’.
Have fun with your Halloween contact lenses! You don’t have to wait to get married. Host a zombie-themed party or organize a ‘zombie walk’ down your local streets for Halloween or perhaps for charity. But remember, it’s those pale, undead eyes say ‘zombie’—rather than a horde of vagabonds wandering about risking arrest—and so choose from YouKnowIt’s amazing range of zombie lenses and make the zombie apocalypse a reality!
